DoK Talks #98- It´s not me, it´s you: Migrating between third party storage solutions at scale // Dinesh Majrekar

ABSTRACT OF THE TALK

With the help of 3rd parties, running stateful workloads can be a “trivial” experience but what happens when you need to migrate between vendors?

Civo offers managed Kubernetes clusters powered by K3s to customers around the world. We manage thousands of Virtual Machines and stateful customer data within multiple data centres across the globe. During recent vendor contract renewal negotiations, it was decided to move to a new storage provider. This required the team to find a way of having the 2 storage vendors co-exist on existing superclusters, and have the ability to safely migrate data between the 2 vendors.

Join Civo’s Director of Innovation, Dinesh, as he talks through the research, testing and migration process carried out in the past few months.
