Cloud-Native Data Day


December 5th, 2018 | Boston, MA

Share

Hear from Cloud Data technology leaders that are committed to your Cloud Data transformation: In this free, 1-day event, you will learn how to migrate your data workloads across IaaS layers efficiently. Portability however isn’t the end goal, just part of the journey; hear about how to then run, scale, and leverage stateful containers in production to derive business outcomes. You will also have the opportunity to network with experts in this space looking to do the same.

We’ll also discuss the execution of Database-as-a-service or Cluster-as-a-service strategies, and learn how to embrace Kubernetes as part of a modern Data Platform. Whether your data or applications are staying on-premises or moving to a public cloud, these principles will help you build more scalable, resilient, and adaptable systems that drive your competitive advantage.

Who should attend: Architects, Developers, Ops, Data Engineers, CTO/CDO, Senior Engineer, SREs, Platform Architects

Space is limited so register today.
