Docker, Puppet, Kubernetes, Ansible, and Jenkins to name a few. DevOps lives on orchestration. Storage enables DevOps and integrates with the products and integrations used by organizations to empower their applications and operations teams.
Storage and infrastructure teams often feel that they exist simply as a service provider to applications teams with the goal of providing a reliable, but featureless, set of low-cost capabilities while letting the application handle the advanced logic. However, this simply isn't the case. Infrastructure, and particularly storage, are critical to the success of an application and leveraging the capabilities of the underlying platforms increases effectiveness and efficiency. Snapshots, cloning, replication, and other features which are made accessible directly to applications ensure their satisfaction and help to enable success for everyone.
Come see how letting go of control of your storage and enabling the applications is the right thing to do!
- Provisioning, cloning, testing, and managing storage is easy with OpenStack and container
- Declarative configuration management tools can assist with managing storage requirements for applications
- Features of the storage array(s) can provide significant benefit to the application lifecycle
