SQL Server Containers & Kubernetes - Going to Production!
Are you a Database Administrator, DevOps engineer, Cloud Architect or a Developer looking to modernize your data estate and build a true hybrid data estate that does not restrict your choice of deployment? Then this session is for you, learn how you can crawl, walk and run with SQL Server containers in Kubernetes!!
This session will explore the benefits of deploying SQL Server containers on Kubernetes platforms like OpenShift for enterprise customers. We will start with the basics, such as the different supported deployment options, and then move on to best practices for both production and Dev/QA workloads. We will also cover HA/DR, monitoring, and other day-to-day tasks that are critical for SQL Server. Finally, we will share reference architectures to help you build a hybrid data estate that does not limit you on deployment, distribution choices and reduces stickiness to one platform.
