InfoQ: “KubeCon NA 2023: Kubernetes Storage Platform to Run Real-Time Analytic Databases”

The Kubernetes storage platform provides a portable and flexible data management foundation to help developers build their own data solutions. Robert Hodges, CEO at Altinity, presented “Adventures in Data- Leaning on Kubernetes Storage to Run Hundreds of Real-Time Analytic Databases” at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2023 Conference in Chicago. He discussed different techniques his teams developed to build their data platform, like implementing compute and storage separation with Amazon’s Elastic Block Store (EBS), extending persistence volumes without downtime, and changing storage parameters by creating a custom controller component.
