#11 DoK community: Doing Data Wrong // Jeremy Tanner & David McKay

Data on Kubernetes Community

For our 11th installation of the data on k8s meetup, we talk with both Sr Tech Evangelists Jeremy Tanner and David McKay from Packet about doing data wrong on k8s.

// Key takeaways:

Data is hard with Kubernetes, especially when adding bare metal to the equation. Attendees will leave with an idea of some pain points they can avoid.

// Abstract:

In this talk, we'll look at great ways to lose data (like running databases on Kubernetes and bare metal), pain points for developers, lessons we've learned, and have a Festivus in September airing of grievances sessions for those who have felt this pain.

// Jeremy Bio

He / Him. Helps developers understand bare metal at Packet, an Equinix company.

Based in Austin, TX and eagerly awaiting a time he can again appear in a city near you. Always an advocate (Developer, Community, BBQ). Likes Motorcycles, bicycles, and mechanical keyboards. Not Questlove.
