Platforms-as-a-service provide a fantastic application developer experience, enabling large scale zero downtime deployments in a repeatable and scalable way. But Data services are often left behind and require manual deployment and day 2 operations. The next evolution in PaaS provides a range of managed services such as DataStax Cassandra for developers to quickly utilise in their Cloud Native Applications. This talk describes the approach and challenges of building managed services such as DataStax Enterprise Cassandra with automated lifecycle management using BOSH & Pivotal Cloud Foundry including a detailed discussion of the ease of Day 2 operations such as software upgrades and backups that is supported in the offering. The presentation includes a demonstration on the use of BOSH and Pivotal Cloud Foundry to build a managed DataStax Enterprise Cassandra service that allows operators to provide a comprehensive Cassandra offering that deploys production ready clusters. About the Speakers Ben Lackey Partner Architect, DataStax I work in the Cloud Strategy group at DataStax where I concentrate on improving the integration between DataStax Enterprise and cloud platforms including Azure, GCP and Pivotal. Damian O'connor Product Manager, Pivotal I'm a Technical Product Manager working with Pivotal's Cloud Services team and based out of our Dublin office. My role is to provide Pivotal Cloud Foundry customers with an industry leading Cassandra service running on the Pivotal Cloud Native platform.
