Kubernetes is the most popular container orchestrator and is enabling enterprises to rapidly containerize their application stacks. Kubernetes' adoption still faces many challenges, particularly when it comes to stateful applications.
The engineers at Kasten have open sourced Kanister to allow ops teams to incorporate their existing tools into Kubernetes. Kanister is a framework for domain experts to write blueprints specifying how to perform data management in Kubernetes. Each blueprint is specific to a data service, like MySQL and can be modified to integrate with your infrastructure. The talk will conclude with demos of backup and restore of MySQL and MongoDB using example blueprints included with Kanister.
This talk will be targeted towards anyone interesting in running stateful applications in Kubernetes. The audience will learn why the current primitives exposed by Kubernetes aren't sufficient for data operations and how Kanister fills in the gaps.
