Running a database on Kubernetes with persistent storage is relatively easy but when it comes to performance it won’t match local NVMes. This talk will show you how to set up the local NVMes for Kubernetes, how to handle the application and cluster lifecycle in a safe manner and share our experience with running ScyllaDB with local NVMes on different Kubernetes cloud providers.

Tomas leads the development of Scylla Operator (https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-operator), a Kubernetes operator to manage ScyllaDB. Previously, he worked on a self-hosted, auto-upgrading Kubernetes control plane for RedHat OpenShift. Tomas is an Emeritus Kubernetes SIG-Apps approver.

Maciej is a Go and C++ enthusiast. He is a software engineer working on ScyllaDB management tools. Previously he worked in network companies where he delivered multiple features to SDN solutions and LTE networks.
