Object-storage-as-a-service is a game changer for IT. For the better part of a decade, IT has watched as developers provisioned object storage for emerging applications on the public cloud - driving much of the adoption of this medium. This creates many well-known issues for IT. This is not a simple control issue, it is a broader and much more critical

Kubernetes seems to be the answer to a lot of questions these days. It should be—it is the dominant way to deliver compute, networking and storage to applications. Its dominance is surprising in a tech world where there is generally room for several players. This was a winner take all market and Kubernetes took it all. As we note

Kubecon went virtual this year and let’s be honest, it wasn’t the same – on any level. It lacked the electricity, the enthusiasm and interaction that makes this a geek version of the holiday season. Still, the content was outstanding and continues to serve as the engine of this amazing event. Each Kubecon is a major milestone – an opportunity

The Hybrid Cloud is a hot term these days. It should be. Ultimately it will represent the vast majority of enterprise cloud architectures (Gartner is saying 90%+). The public cloud will continue to grow. The private cloud will continue to grow. The edge will continue to grow. All fueled by the data that continues to grow. While the hybrid cloud

At the beginning of the decade, the total data in the world added up to 2 zettabytes. It has grown to 59 zettabytes today. In a matter of 10 years, it has grown 30-fold. Unstructured data The majority of data that exists today are photos, videos or some kind of point-in-time events. These kinds of data do not have an

KES is a stateless and distributed key-management system for high-performance applications. We built KES as the bridge between modern applications - running as containers on Kubernetes - and centralized KMS solutions. Therefore, KES has been designed to be simple, scalable and secure by default.

Edge computing is a hot topic and carries with it some confusion, particularly around storage. Handling data properly at the edge can ensure a scalable, cost-effective and secure infrastructure - but failing to set up the right architecture can lead to data loss, security vulnerabilities and sky-high costs related to the bandwidth needed to transfer data repeatedly to and from

There are two forces that are fundamentally remaking the technology landscape today. One is Kubernetes and the other is high performance Object Storage. They are powering (or are shaped by, depending on your perspective) modern, data-rich applications that include AI/ML and application logs. Either way, modern applications need Kubernetes and Object Storage and Kubernetes and Object Storage owe their

Kubernetes has fundamentally altered the traditional application development and deployment patterns. Application development teams can now develop, test and deploy their apps in days, across different environments, all within their Kubernetes clusters. Previous generations of technology typically took weeks if not months. This acceleration is possible due to the abstraction that Kubernetes brings to the table, i.e. it deals

Most developers don’t love managing infrastructure — including storage infrastructure. One of the great things about Kubernetes is the ability to simplify infrastructure management so that developers can focus on creating applications and let Kubernetes handle orchestration. Kubernetes does not natively manage storage infrastructure — but using MinIO and Kubernetes together can help provide the storage that applications need with the

This year’s Kubecon was the biggest yet on almost every vector: attendance, announcements and keynotes :). In between all of that were some stark themes on the state of the movement, the evolving vendor landscape and the challenges ahead. While there are some great summaries, we wanted to share our thoughts on what we saw and what we think the

For Cloud Native, Architecture Matters The term ‘cloud native’ is widely used in technical circles but doesn’t have a particularly clear definition. The confusion lies in the fact that being ‘cloud native’ has little to do with the environment your application is deployed to—the term is equally applicable to on-premise or the public cloud. Rather, the term refers

With another Strata in the rearview mirror, it is time to reflect on what we saw and heard during the week. Strata is clearly a data science show at this point but data science is broad topic. Our perspective, as a provider of high performance object storage, is framed accordingly and we focus on the data stack more than we

Perhaps the biggest takeaway from VMworld was the “all in” bet that VMware is making on Kubernetes. VMware wasn’t shy about its ambition, with CEO Pat Gelsinger stating that “We will be the leading enabler of Kubernetes.” This reflects the reality of the market. Kubernetes has become the industry standard. Furthermore, Kubernetes has grown into more than just orchestration,

In this post, we learn about Pivotal Container Service deployment and how to use the pks command line tool to create and manage Kubernetes clusters. We also saw how to deploy Minio once your PKS Kubernetes cluster is set up and running.
Read moreContainers running on orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, DC/OS et al. offer powerful, versatile ways to deploy applications. Containers let you deploy isolated application instances, and you can launch multiple such instances to scale up your load serving capacity. You don’t even need to worry about individual server capacities and scheduling thanks to orchestration tool, which provide
