In this episode, Bhavin and Ryan interview Kai Davenport who has been running Kubernetes in GKE to host various projects. Kai is a developer and an operator rolled into one and tells us about his lessons learned and experience running Kubernetes as a team of one. The discussion dives into Kubernetes as an abstraction, how to manage backups of applications and data, when to use quotas and more.

In today’s episode we explore the topic of data management on various Kubernetes orchestration systems. We have Andy Gower on the podcast as our first guest  Who has a background in solutions. He previously worked at SONY Playstation and IBM and now works on solutions for Pure Storage. We’re excited to have him on the podcast to talk about some experience he has working with different orchestration systems. We talk with Andy about his past experience at IBM and explore what Kubernetes data management means for organizations looking to use a platform rather than build one themselves.

In this episode of Kubernetes Bytes, the hosts explore the topic of Cloud Native Storage vs Traditional Storage. If you are curious what Cloud Native Storage is, how it may be different from traditional SAN and NAS or are interested in why the abstractions introduced by containers, docker and Kubernetes are driving change in how applications consume storage, then this episode is for you.

In this episode of Kubernetes Bytes, the hosts explore the topic of Container and Kubernetes Storage 101. This podcast focuses on a beginner/101 level view of why containers need storage, how volumes were originally used by docker, how orchestration systems like Kubernetes needed to orchestrate volumes and what basic building blocks are used in Kubernetes to manage persistent storage. This episode is a great way to familiarize listeners with a little bit of container and volume history as well as how persistent storage is used in Kubernetes today.
