Are You Always On? High Availability for On-Prem, Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Apps
By:
Type: Talk
IT complexities compromise the availability and performance of enterprise applications. Veritas and Hitachi Vantara solves this challenge by automating IT continuity across all platforms and operating systems, enabling applications to perform at their best and achieve “Always On” for their business. “Always on” is standard operating procedure today. Organizations cannot afford downtime and disruption without losing revenue, customers, and momentum. In addition to local and remote replication, IT builds in clustering and multi-pathing so that they can not only recover data, but also fail over to another component non-disruptively. However, ESG research reveals the difficulty of achieving these objectives. Only 22% of research respondents reported that they always achieve their recovery SLAs. Furthermore, 35% report that they can only tolerate less than one hour of downtime for their applications, and yet 68% of respondents reported experiencing an outage of at least one hour in the past year. There is a clear disconnect between what organizations need and what they are able to achieve. In this session, ESG analyst Vinny Choinski is joined by Paul Romero and Federick Brillantes from Hitachi Vantara, and Doug Snyder from Veritas Technologies, to take a closer look at the latest research that addresses how businesses can become data smart and maintain an ‘Always On’ mentality. They’ll also be sharing how to overcome the challenges businesses face when striving to deliver highly available applications and data across on-premise, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Join ESG, Hitachi Vantara and Veritas to discover: - What being ‘data smart’ means in 2022 - How to prepare for hidden challenges that can wreak havoc on numerous critical production applications - and how to overcome them - How Hitachi and Veritas’s partnership can simplify, replication, and disaster recovery in on-premise and hybrid/multi-clouds

Defeat Complexity with Use-Case-Optimized Kubernetes Platforms
By:
Type: Talk
Kubernetes platform engineering is complex, especially with large, shared clusters supporting multiple workloads and teams. Defeating complexity requires multi-cluster thinking: Compose clusters declaratively with services and policies to support one or a small range of workload types (versus many); administer and lifecycle manage declaratively to continually assure cluster state; and repeat for all the workload types your organization needs to support. Simplifying platforms and customizing them to workload requirements pays off bigtime in agility, smoother operations, higher workload availability, security, and compliance. Plus: You don't need to implement a global multi-cluster architecture to do this at smaller scales. In this webinar, we’ll explore: - How to think of Kubernetes platforms as containers for workloads, services (LMA, FinOps), and policies. - Building up use-case-optimized platforms from 'bare clusters.' - Approaches to automate platform operations and LCM. - Strategies to keep platforms healthy and integrated over time. And we'll share how we're doing all of this with open-source-based tools. Join us!

Top Three Benefits of Using GitOps Driven Multi-Cluster Workload Management
By:
Type: Video
With Kubernetes becoming more and more popular every day, so is managing clusters at scale. Managing Kubernetes clusters the GitOps way via Flux CD operator you can manage thousands of clusters, each with dozens or even hundreds of nodes. GitOps works by using Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications. For a Kubernetes cluster the Git repository hosts all resource manifests making up an application. Flux leverages this principle with a set of controllers watching one or more Git repositories for such manifests and automatically applies them. Join this session, to learn the top three benefits of managing Kubernetes clusters at scale, the GitOps way using the Flux CD operator. • Creates a simplified way to declaratively define thousands of clusters and perform operations on those clusters, as you would the workloads on the clusters • Makes it easy to have a multi-tenancy approach where each team or group of applications gets their own cluster • Operations against clusters are fully audited and attributable, as reverting changes is hard

Big Data for Big Data: Machine Learning Models of Hadoop Cluster Behavior
By:
Type: Video
Learn how to use machine learning to improve cluster performance. This talk describes the use of very fine-grained performance data from many Hadoop clusters to build a model predicting excessive swapping events. Performance of batch processing systems such as YARN is generally determined by the throughput, which measures the amount of workload (tasks) completed in a given time window. For a given cluster size, the throughput can be increased by running as much workload as possible on each host, to utilize all the free resources available on host. Because each node is running a complex combination of different tasks/containers, the performance characteristics of the cluster are dynamically changing. As a result, there is always a danger of overutilizing host memory, which can result into extreme swapping or thrashing. The impacts of thrashing can be very severe; it can actually reduce the throughput instead of increasing it. By using very fine-grained (5 second) data from many production clusters running very different workloads, we have trained a generalized model that very rapidly detects the onset of thrashing, within seconds from the first symptom. This detection has proven fast enough to enable effective mitigation of the negative symptom of thrashing, allowing the hosts to continuously provide high throughput. To build this system we used hand-labeling of bad events combined with large scale data processing using Hadoop, HBase, Spark, and iPython for experimentation. We will discuss the methods used as well as the novel findings about Big Data cluster performance.

How to Deploy a Production Grade Cluster, and Share Access to your Team
By:
Type: Talk
Configuring and deploying a Kubernetes cluster has become relatively easy, whether on-premise or in a public cloud. However, configuring a production grade cluster that meets industry-standard is significantly more difficult. Cluster administrators need to secure the access to it, configure observability, build platform services, integrate with the Enterprise software supply chain, extend cluster functionality, in order to successfully create a production grade cluster. Proper governance of your k8s cluster is critical and giving secure access to developers can be a painful process involving cluster certificates, access management systems, complex identity management, networking setup, and firewalls. Cluster admins want a much simpler, more automated solution that makes it easy to provide cluster access while continuing to leverage their existing RBAC to developers and their teams -- quickly, consistently, automatically, and securely, for multiple clusters, running behind different identity provider platforms and network setups. In this demo-focused Webinar, The Mirantis team will showcase how to configure a Mirantis Kubernetes Engine cluster and securely share access to the cluster through Lens Spaces - a cloud-based enhancement brought to Lens.

But it gets complicated fast. - Most solutions are pretty opinionated, and (for public clouds especially) hard or impossible for users to change. - Managing infrastructure (e.g., VMs) under Kubernetes still needs to be done (and for multi-cluster setups, it needs to be done a lot), which is slow and tends to be failure-prone. - Updating and lifecycle-managing multiple clusters is not a picnic -- on public clouds, okay, but on private clouds? You have 99 problems. What if we told you none of that was necessary? That you could -- in just a few steps: - Build a system to deliver bespoke Kubernetes clusters on demand, fast, with huge flexibility in cluster composition, and with wild freedom to explore use-cases demanding worker/control plane separation, workers that run remote from backplanes, workers that run on IoT hardware? - Make all these K8s clusters painlessly self-updating, self-scaling on private and/or public clouds, and easy to operate - And do all this in an entirely Kubernetes-native, declarative, infra-as-code way that leverages Kubernetes itself to keep multiple clusters healthy, secure, performant, and (as relevant) resource- and cost-optimized? You instantly gain speed, simplified operations, improved security, lower costs, and massive flexibility for new use cases. In this webinar, Daniel Virassamy from Team k0s explains: - What k0s and k0smotron are and how they work - Real life use cases for multi-cluster Kubernetes, and how they map to a k0s/k0smotron architecture on various (or multiple) infrastructures - Components required: k0s, k0smotron operator, k0s Autopilot, k0s CAPI operator - How to make it yours: Incredibly-simple automation recipes for making these moving parts work together -- all of which integrate with tools you're already using

Type: Replay
Just like a well-constructed burger requires carefully layering the right ingredients, securing multi-cluster deployments demands a thoughtful, layered approach. In this webinar, we'll deconstruct the multi-cluster burger, peeling back each layer to reveal security strategies for the infrastructure, applications, data, networking, observability, and overall security of components. Key Takeaways - Clarity on the different components or "layers" that make up a typical multi-cluster architecture. - Insights into adopting a layered approach to security in multi-cluster and hybrid environments. They'll learn the importance of implementing security controls and best practices at each layer. - Strategies for enforcing consistent security policies, access controls, and governance across all clusters and components in a multi-cluster setup. - Need for centralized monitoring, logging, and observability tools to gain end-to-end visibility into the security posture and health of the entire stack.

Improve Big Data Performance on Google Dataproc: Best Practices
By:
Type: Talk
Managing your Google cloud costs and recapturing resource waste can be challenging. The promise of autoscaling is that workloads receive exactly the cloud computational resources they require at any given time, and you only pay for the server resources you need, when you need them. However, most auto scaling features aren’t granular enough to address today’s variable workload and application needs. Without granular and automatic control for your cloud instance resources you may be paying more than you should for your workloads. Autoscaling typically works well on clusters that process many jobs as well as single-job clusters. While some applications are constant and predictable, others are bound by CPU or memory, or are “spiky” in nature. Amazon EMR, Azure HDInsight, and Google Cloud Dataproc all provide autoscaling for big data and Hadoop, but with different approaches. Estimating the right number of cluster nodes for a workload can be difficult; user-initiated cluster scaling requires manual intervention, and mistakes are often costly and disruptive. Join Pepperdata Field Engineer Kirk Lewis for this discussion about operational challenges associated with maintaining optimal big data performance in the cloud with a focus on Google Dataproc, what milestones to set, and best practices for managing a successful cloud framework.
