#8 DoK community: Appropriate workloads for databases in K8s // Rick Vasquez

For our 8th installation of the data on k8s meetup, we spoke with Rick Vasquez, Enablement Lead - Services Portfolio at Percona. // Key takeaways: Large unsharded data footprints are not great for kubernetes. Deploying databases in kubernetes is much different than just running an application in a container. Open source is playing catch up with regards to persistence and kubernetes. // Abstract: As more companies are moving to kubernetes and cloud native as a standard for developing net new functionality something has to happen to the legacy workloads. Often times we see a lift and shift mentality into kubernetes, we will talk about how that mentality can be dangerous or cause more work than expected. // Rick Bio: Hands-on technical practitioner with real world experience in some of the largest open source database deployments in the world. Translating technical and business requirements to the relevant groups is my passion. // Check out percona live event: http://percona.com/live ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Connect with us 👋   ▬▬▬▬▬▬  Join our slack: https://join.slack.com/t/dokcommunity/shared_invite/zt-g3ui5r0g-jDKz5dhh2W1ayElqwKYYAg Follow us on Twitter: @dokcommunity Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpbrinkm/ Connect with Rick on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickvasquezii/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬  Supporters of the DoKc   ▬▬▬▬▬▬  This meetup is sponsored by MayaData, which helped start the DOK.community and remains an active supporter.
