LinuxCon+ContainerCon Europe 2016

One problem of running Enterprise Applications in container schedulers, like Apache Mesos and Kubernetes, has been making applications and their data highly available. To date, utilizing local disks on compute nodes has given us data persistence, but unfortunately does solve the data mobility problem required to make applications tolerate Agent node failures.

We will discuss what Software Defined Storage (SDS) is, how Software Defined Storage can transform local storage into an external globally accessible pool, how Mesos clusters can overcome this data mobility problem, and more importantly do so in such a way that is simple and easy to consume using an Apache Mesos Framework as a reference model. Will have a demonstration of Mesos Framework that will deploy a scale out software defined storage platform and deploy applications leveraging this new type of storage.
