Data on Kubernetes community virtual meetup #2 with Zach Dunn Senior Direct of Platform Operations, Optoro. We talk today about how the team at Optoro has implemented stateful apps on Kubernetes and what they have learned along the way.  

Let’s talk about storage. Optoro has moved to running stateful stores on Kubernetes. It’s a challenge, but it has a lot of value. Let’s talk about how we chose to do it, and what we figured out along the way.  Key takeaways: Learn about how Optoro chose to run stateful services on kubernetes. Laugh at other people's mistakes! Cry with us over our pain. Maybe question some of the assumptions around storage in k8s. Wonder about the future of data in Kubernetes.  

Bio: Zach's spent most of his tech career in something that vaguely resembles production infrastructure. This has ranged from hot aisle drudgery to professional nerd herder and budget owner. Once an individual but now is he collectively just known as "Arabella's Dad" or on occasion "William's Dad". He currently is the Senior Director of Platform Operations and CISO at Optoro helping teams build and deliver modern software for enterprise clients
