The Future of Data on Kubernetes: From Database Management To AI Foundation - Rob Strechay, SiliconANGLE; Nimisha Mehta, Confluent; Gabriele Bartolini, EDB; Brian Kaufman, Google
Wednesday April 2, 2025 14:30 - 15:00 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance S10 | Room D
The Data on Kubernetes (DoK) ecosystem has expanded beyond persistent storage to support critical data workloads including databases and AI/ML operations. While databases remain the primary DoK use case per the 2024 DoK Report, organizations increasingly use Kubernetes to power next-gen data infrastructure and AI initiatives.

Panelists from the Data on Kubernetes Community will discuss:

* The evolution of workload patterns from basic stateful services to advanced AI/ML deployments

* Critical considerations for running production database workloads, which remain the #1 use case

* Emerging patterns in AI/ML operations, including batch scheduling, preemption, and gang scheduling

* Technical approaches to common challenges, including feature maturity and integration with existing tools

* Strategies for optimizing resource utilization and reducing infrastructure costs for data-intensive workloads
