Many enterprises are going through a digital transformation journey to bring agility into their organizations and to become more operationally efficient using cloud-native technologies such as Containers and Kubernetes. However, owing to the early days of thought leadership around containers, some developers and architects still believe that Kubernetes is strictly for “stateless” applications, with “stateful” applications running outside it. But an “application” is never made up of just stateless components; even a so-called stateless application depends on 'state' which is either transmitted over the network or data that is stored in a persistent database and on big data platforms. In this talk, we'll see how Kubernetes can be used not just to run stateful applications, but also how it helps in driving faster innovation by turning data in stateful applications into a strategic asset.
