C-Drive 2009 presentation by Scott DesBles about how Compellent's Data Instant Replay and Data Progression work together to create an efficient data storage system.
ZFS is a modern file system that provides data integrity through checksums and a copy-on-write design. It simplifies storage administration with a pooled model where space can be shared across file systems. ZFS supports features like snapshots, clones, compression, and deduplication. It can leverage solid state drives for caching and improve performance.
In the past few years, large enterprises started adopting the microservices architecture, however, most ended up with a “distributed monolith” and could not realize the true benefits of microservices. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges of how we built microservices in the past and and what the future strategy should look like. The strategy of leveraging the “platform” (container orchestration + Service Mesh) to provide the outer-architecture capabilities in order to build business-focused polyglot services that are decoupled from the outer architecture.
The document discusses key features of the ZFS file system including its use of pooled storage, data integrity through checksumming, snapshots and clones, scalability, and dynamic striping. Some advantages of ZFS over traditional file systems are more efficient storage utilization through pooled devices, self-healing capabilities, and faster administration through instant snapshots and clones. Challenges of ZFS include limited adoption, higher CPU and power usage than some traditional file systems, and lack of built-in encryption.
The document introduces the new HPE SimpliVity 380 hyperconverged platform. It provides all-flash storage and compute resources with advanced data services like compression, deduplication, backup, and disaster recovery in a single building block for simplified management. Customers can realize significant cost savings and efficiency gains compared to traditional infrastructure or public cloud options like AWS. The HPE SimpliVity 380 delivers powerful and simple hyperconvergence combined with efficient and flexible operations for customers' workloads.

Sorry, there is no free lunch—distributed applications are complex. You can embrace any trends such as microservices, but developing a distributed application is a challenge. Why? Distributed systems have many reasons to fail: technically they’re complicated, and the theory behind distributed systems is also complicated. Vert.x is a toolkit for building reactive distributed applications on top of the Java Virtual Machine in Java, JavaScript, Groovy, Ruby, or Ceylon. Vert.x does not hide the complexity of distributed applications; it lets you manage it. Vert.x applications are able to manage failures, can use several protocols and interaction styles, can handle heavy loads, and can cope with most of the requirements of modern applications.
Power of the Log: LSM & Append Only Data Structuresconfluent
LSM trees provide an efficient way to structure databases by organizing data sequentially in logs. They optimize for write performance by batching writes together sequentially on disk. To optimize reads, data is organized into levels and bloom filters and caching are used to avoid searching every file. This log-structured approach works well for many systems by aligning with how hardware is optimized for sequential access. The immutability of appended data also simplifies concurrency. This log-centric approach can be applied beyond databases to distributed systems as well.
This document provides an overview and introduction to virtual storage concepts in VMware vSphere, including NFS, iSCSI, VMFS, and Virtual SAN datastores. It discusses storage protocols, multipathing, and best practices for configuring and managing different types of datastores. The document is divided into several sections covering storage concepts, iSCSI, NFS, VMFS, and Virtual SAN datastores.
Speed Up Your Kubernetes Upgrades For Your Kafka ClustersVanessa Vuibert
Upgrading Kubernetes can be difficult enough without the additional challenge of the petabytes of data associated with your Kafka cluster. At Shopify, we reduced our live Kafka cluster migration time from six months to two weeks by reusing persistent disks. In this talk I’ll explain why we chose this approach, how we did it, and how you can too.
When upgrading Kubernetes it can be preferable to create a new Kubernetes cluster and migrate your workloads instead of performing an in-place upgrade. However, with this approach migrating Kafka to a new Kubernetes cluster over the network can be time consuming.
I will go over how to stretch a Kafka cluster across the old and new Kubernetes clusters without adding any extra brokers. Finally, I will discuss how the Kafka brokers in the new Kubernetes cluster get scaled up while the old one gets decommissioned.
The document provides information about an IT professional who manages Insan Solutions and provides various IT services including software development, virtualization using KVM, and IT support. It then discusses KVM virtualization in more detail, explaining that KVM allows using the Linux kernel as a hypervisor for virtual machines, providing benefits like leveraging the Linux scheduler and memory management, free cost, and stable I/O performance. The document concludes with a demonstration of KVM virtualization.
VMware virtualization allows multiple operating systems and applications to run simultaneously on a single server, improving hardware utilization. It partitions system resources between virtual machines, providing fault and security isolation. Virtual machines can be easily moved between physical servers using VMotion without downtime. Virtualization reduces costs by consolidating servers and enables high availability through automatic restart of virtual machines in the event of server failure.

Learning from ZFS to Scale Storage on and under Containersinside-BigData.com
Evan Powell presented this deck at the MSST 2107 Mass Storage Conference.
"What is so new about the container environment that a new class of storage software is emerging to address these use cases? And can container orchestration systems themselves be part of the solution? As is often the case in storage, metadata matters here. We are implementing in the open source OpenEBS.io some approaches that are in some regards inspired by ZFS to enable much more efficient scale out block storage for containers that itself is containerized. The goal is to enable storage to be treated in many regards as just another application while, of course, also providing storage services to stateful applications in the environment."
