Civo Navigate Europe 2023 is a tech event packed with talks and workshops focused on navigating and succeeding within the cloud native landscape.
Visit us at our booth to learn more about how Percona Operators can support your Cloud Native strategy with managing database workloads on any supported Kubernetes cluster running in private, public, hybrid, or multi-cloud environments.
And while you’re there, don’t miss out on our speaking sessions:
Peter Szczepaniak – The Benefits of Running Your Own Open Source Private DBaas
Is Open Source Private DBaaS something you can build on your own and adapt to your needs? What are the benefits of running your own DBaaS compared to running the public DBaaS? Let’s take a quick look at it.
David Stokes – Why Databases Don’t “cloud” Well and What To Do About It!
Containers are great for ephemeral applications where you do not need to save state. Databases, as a general rule, are not useful if ephemeral. So try to set up persistent storage for these databases, where you can ‘claim’ disk storage that is hopefully somewhat independent of the pod lifecycle.
But what about those cases where you are starting with no active database instance? Or do you need to bring in a new database server into a database cluster and make sure it is populated with the latest and greatest data? How do you accelerate these new systems into being productive? There are ways to seed caches so that there is a minimal warm-up period that can greatly reduce the time needed to have a productive system. And there are tools like MySQL’s InnoDB Clone plug-in that can rapidly populate a barebones system.
And you need a way to observe the performance of these database instances. What factors do you need to watch such as cache hits and disk throughput are obvious performance factors. But there are other factors such as queries not using indexes that are performance killers or redundant data structures that consume memory excessively.
This is a database in the cloud talk for folks who are not database folks. You will discover the wild and wooly world of databases where they can be tamed to work in the cloud. There are a lot of factors that need to be considered for efficient database operations if you want smooth and fast performance from your database instances.
Peter Zaitsev – Is Open Source Coming Back to Your Cloud?
Cloud and Open Source have a very intricate relationship! In this talk we will look at the history of how the impact of Cloud on Open Source changed through the years, examine the current state as well as make a case for a particular way to use Cloud and Open Source Together. If you cherish the values of Open Source – you will do well by using Cloud as Commodity Infrastructure Provider and run Open Source Software on top of it. Consider Kubernetes in particular as your API of choice with its ubiquitous availability among all major public cloud providers and private cloud software vendors. We will show what while this ecosystem may not be as mature as proprietary solution from cloud vendors it is moving rapidly and becoming a great fit for more and more situations.
