The presentation discusses how to complement the data layer in Kubernetes with the Container Storage Interface (CSI) plug-in and the application, using a demo of a single cluster, single availability zone, and single region.
- The demo includes two applications: Prometheus and Cassandra
- The CSI plug-in adds intelligence to the storage layer, allowing for features such as storage replication, encryption, and topology awareness
- The presentation emphasizes the importance of complementing the data layer without changing the Kubernetes architectural patterns
- The demo shows how to allow Cassandra to handle storage layer intelligence while working in harmony with the CSI plug-in and the application
- The presentation suggests that building virtual data centers in Kubernetes is a logical progression in virtualization, allowing for more agility and bespoke tools
