OPS119 Running HA databases consistently on any infrastructure using Arc data services
Channel: ITOpsTalk
Date: 02/02/2021

Have you heard people say ‘containers or Kubernetes is not for databases’?  Let me show you how that is definitely not the case in 2021.  Kubernetes provides an abstraction layer over any infrastructure and an orchestration engine that powers Arc enabled data services so DevOps, DBAs, and developers can provision and manage highly available SQL and PostgreSQL database instances on any infrastructure – on-prem, AWS, or Google.  In this session, I’ll dive deep into the technical weeds with nearly 100% demos that show you exactly how it all works and you can manage it all with GUI, CLI, Azure-native tools, or Kubernetes-native tools.
