Abstracts:
Taking Kubernetes beyond the Availability Zone, while saving on storage and sleeping better:
* Deliver highly available stateful applications to your cluster and learn how to failover those applications, and their data, in the event of failure of a disk, node, or even an entire availability zone
* Learn how to provide globally accessible stateful applications by leveraging Portworx DR with Stork
* Stop over provisioning and overpaying for your storage and automatically manage and scale your capacity management in the cloud
These are just some of the challenges you may experience when running Kubernetes in production, and we can help you solve them.

Distributed Platforms. How platform engineering is at the core of the next evolution in the cloud native world

• Distributed platforms. Run workloads where it makes most sense.
• Platform engineering. Create a scaleable and sustainable platform.
• Lifecycle. Security and compliance considerations through the whole lifecycle.
