Successful Strategies for the Hybrid Cloud

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Hybrid Cloud 13 November 2020

The Hybrid Cloud is a hot term these days. It should be. Ultimately it will represent the vast majority of enterprise cloud architectures (Gartner [https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/5-trends-drive-the-gartner-hype-cycle-for-emerging-technologies-2020/] 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

Beyond File and Block Storage in Kubernetes

Sidhartha Mani Sidhartha Mani on Kubernetes 11 November 2020

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

Introducing KES - Key Management at Scale

Andreas Auernhammer Andreas Auernhammer on Operator's Guide 14 May 2020

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.

Storage at the Edge

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Edge Computing 8 March 2020

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

High Performance Object Storage, Kubernetes + Why You Can't Containerize a Storage Appliance

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Kubernetes 12 February 2020

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 Storage Patterns

Nitish Tiwari Nitish Tiwari on Kubernetes 4 February 2020

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

Developer Friendly Kubernetes Storage

Daniel Valdivia Daniel Valdivia @dvaldivia

on Kubernetes 22 January 2020

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

The State of Kubernetes: Five Takeaways from Kubecon

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Kubernetes 3 December 2019

This year’s Kubecon [https://events19.linuxfoundation.org/events/kubecon-cloudnativecon-north-america-2019/] 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

What it Really Means to be "Cloud Native" in the Storage World

Anand Babu Periasamy Anand Babu Periasamy on Kubernetes 14 October 2019

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

Five Strata Takeaways

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Integrations 1 October 2019

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

Why VMware's Kubernetes Ambitions Depend on MinIO

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Kubernetes 4 September 2019

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,

MinIO private cloud on Pivotal Container Service

Nitish Tiwari Nitish Tiwari on Operator's Guide 28 June 2018

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.

Containerized data analytics at scale, with MinIO and Pachyderm

Nitish Tiwari Nitish Tiwari on Docker 28 March 2017

Containers 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

Build AWS S3 compatible cloud storage on GCP with Minio and Kubernetes

Nitish Tiwari Nitish Tiwari on Kubernetes 29 January 2017

Applications today generate [https://blog.minio.io/object-storage-what-is-it-all-about-62920ca164ca#.qfa0ylbd1] more data than ever, and this upward trend is expected to keep up [https://www.emc.com/leadership/digital-universe/2014iview/executive-summary.htm] in foreseeable future. How do you handle this ever growing storage requirement of your application? A storage solution that can run where your application runs and can scale with
