Best Practices for Deploying Distributed Databases and In-Memory Computing Platforms with Kubernetes

In-memory computing technologies such as in-memory data grids (IMDG) and databases (IMDB), NoSQL and NewSQL databases can make so many things easier for a developer. But implementing DevOps for these distributed technologies and the related storage can be difficult. Luckily Kubernetes has come to the rescue!

Learn how Kubernetes can orchestrate a distributed database or in-memory computing solutions using Apache Ignite as an example. This session will explain how to:

  • Deploy, provision and manage an IMDG or IMDB when you wish to keep data in RAM
  • Set up and manage persistence for the in-memory technologies above or configure a disk-based distributed database
  • Set up auto-discovery and automated horizontal scalability, and use other tricks for high availability
