Managing Cloud Native Data on Kubernetes: Architecting Cloud Native Data Services Using Open Source Technology

by Jeff Carpenter, Patrick McFadin

Is Kubernetes ready for stateful workloads? This open source system has become the primary platform for deploying and managing cloud native applications. But because it was originally designed for stateless workloads, working with data on Kubernetes has been challenging. If you want to avoid the inefficiencies and duplicative costs of having separate infrastructure for applications and data, this practical guide can help.

Using Kubernetes as your platform, you'll learn open source technologies that are designed and built for the cloud. Authors Jeff Carpenter and Patrick McFadin provide case studies to help you explore new use cases and avoid the pitfalls others have faced. You’ll get an insider's view of what's coming from innovators who are creating next-generation architectures and infrastructure.

With this book, you
