Sessions
In this talk we will explore the complexities of managing stateful Kubernetes workloads in modern cloud environments.
Maintaining state is crucial for many workloads, but existing application-layer solutions like Postgres's WAL or Cassandra's node replication only ensure data consistency - they don't prevent downtime when nodes go offline or are interrupted.
To address these challenges, we introduce container state replication, a new approach that enables zero-downtime migrations for stateful workloads on Kubernetes.
We will then introduce Drafter, an open-source framework that can standardize live migration on Kubernetes. The session will feature a live demo showing Drafter's ability to replicate and migrate stateful workloads on Kubernetes across continents without downtime or network disruption.
Attendees will learn about the limitations of traditional application-layer replication solutions and how container state replication can enable true zero-downtime live migrations.
