It's a well-known fact that Kubernetes is becoming ubiquitous and that platform engineering will enable the future of self-service for data that is required by developer teams for continuous app development. This Webclass will address what considerations are essential, based on learnings from a wide range of application teams, for building an effective data platform.

The right data platform for your environment will fully integrate with CI/CD pipelines like Tekton and Jenkins for building, testing, and deploying applications across different environments. It's critical that your data is highly available and resilient even in unforeseen events like node failures. Join us to hear about key elements that contribute to elastic infrastructure, for a data platform, fostering swift application releases, and empowering developer autonomy.

This Webclass will dive into the crucial factors to consider when constructing an impactful data platform as platform and DevOps teams pursue self-service delivery for their application teams. Drawing insights from a wide range of innovative organizations, an expert duo of cloud architects from Portworx will use this session to explore the essentials for building an efficient data platform.

This Webclass will address:

• Why data availability and resiliency are necessary for CI/CD pipelines, regardless of where applications are running
• How to manage build jobs and data migrations with data that is portable and secure across sites
• How to successfully tier and scale data in high-growth environments where there are strict DR (Disaster Recovery) requirements
• The need to deliver data and data services in a self-service fashion to boost developer autonomy.
