Hi everyone, thank you for joining our session and welcome to KubeCon EMEA 2021. I'm Diane Patton, a technical marketing engineer here at NetApp and with me is Jaymon George who's also a technical marketing engineer. We support the Kubernetes initiatives at NetApp. Today we're gonna talk a little bit about cloud native application aware data management within multiclouds. So as we all know, Kubernetes originally started to support only stateless applications. But as we all know, it's not just for stateless anymore. Many enterprises are starting to deploy Kubernetes with more stateful applications, including databases. But there's a lot of challenges around how to deploy Kubernetes with a stateful application. And as we can see, enterprises are driving stateful application growth in Kubernetes. If we take a look at this survey here from CNCF in 2020, we can see that approximately 55% of enterprises are running Kubernetes with stateful applications. And this could include file workloads, CI CD pipelines in addition to what we all think of stateful which is databases. But there are some challenges around this. Containers are very different as we all know then VMs. The VMs and applications are generally bound together whereas containers were made the exact opposite way. We don't want to bind those applications with the underlying OS. And this makes it a little bit more challenging to be able to support applications the way that we do in VMs today. So again, the containers could come and go but those applications we still need to be able to support and we need to be able to support their data in addition to snapshots and backing up and being able to allow those applications to have portability and disaster recovery if it's needed. So these are some of the challenges that we know about with enterprise workloads in containers. And to start off with, there's data persistence. We all know that Kubernetes, one of the main features of Kubernetes is ability to scale up and scale down. And with that, we're able to go ahead and destroy and redeploy pods. But the problem with that is if we've got underlying data we don't want to destroy the data along with the pod. So we need to look at that storage persistence within Kubernetes. We need to make sure that those volumes on those pods even if the pod is destroyed, that volume is still available for when a new pod gets deployed perhaps on a different worker node. And this is also why it's very important to look at things like your access modes, right? Your RWO, read, write once only allows access to a volume from one worker node. What would happen if on a specific deployment you have a pod that gets destroyed and gets redeployed on another worker node, for example? Or you do a rolling upgrade is another good example in that case. You might need to have access to that volume from more than one pod. So one of the things you might want to look into is the ability to run something like NAS, for example, in order to be able to support those rolling upgrades or the ability to be able to move, dynamically redeploy that pod on a different worker node and still have access to that underlying volume. So along with the persistent storage need, we also need to think about how do we bring that aspect into hybrid multi-cloud experience, right? So you can't have the similar experience wherever you go. It can be within the cloud or across the cloud. Or maybe you want to do the same experience even in on-frame. That is very important when we do Kubernetes workloads. Another important fact to think about it, especially when we talk about multi-cloud, there isn't a big aspect of application migration or application movement between them, right? So traditional, we all thought about container workloads or Kubernetes workloads can be moved anywhere easily. That was well true for stateless application, but when it comes to stateful application, as many of our enterprise customers are actually running their production workloads, it's not that easy anymore. There's a lot of things we need to understand. How do I move my application and its data from one Kubernetes cluster to another Kubernetes cluster that can be within the cloud, across the cloud, or from on-frame to cloud? We need to understand how an application has been constructed in Kubernetes, compared to how we do that in a typical bare metal or a virtualized environment. That's what we think Kubernetes require the application awareness to do that job for you. If you look at the virtualized application, all the configuration was with the VM itself, but now with Kubernetes, all the application metadata, which we call Kubernetes objects are actually constructed along with the application. So if you look at the application, config maps, secrets, stateful set, the system volume claims, we all need to understand how it's been actually created and configured within the Kubernetes. When we actually migrate the application, you should be able to migrate the configuration, its data, and the application state. That's an important part of migrating application between multi-cloud. And otherwise, what we end up doing, we get the data and you manually have to copy over all these Kubernetes objects, which is not practical. So when we think about in real-time use cases, we should have a way to automate that and get your Kubernetes data application and its objects into the destination cluster. Right, and we wanna be able to take a look at that application and view everything as one whole application, right? We wanna take all those Kubernetes objects, the PVs, all of that, and be able to manage all of that together as one entity. Another thing, Diane, I want to add here is, no matter if your application is running in containerized form or traditional way in virtualized or bare metal, the data is important. The data cannot be corrupted or lost even when you are in Kubernetes. That's an important part for any business. The next thing we need to think about is, what is my business continuity model, right? Right now, I'm getting fantastic features of Kubernetes. Now, I'm in Kubernetes, but how do I continue my business even when there is a disaster, right? So what is my strategy along with it? These are the things it's really key aspect before even thinking about migrating application to Kubernetes or running application in Kubernetes, right? And then there may be aspect of it that there's a need of large compute requirement, right? So how do I get into that kind of situation, right? If my data center is out of my capabilities to provide enough compute, what do I do to get my compute needs within a short amount of time? That's where customers may look into migrating the app from on-prem to cloud or one cloud to another cloud. Even maybe they have another data center that have more capabilities to run this kind of applications. They are actually thinking about how do I get my application from data center one to data center two? What are the strategies I have to do that if and when I need it? And especially some of the enterprise customers have a strategy of running application in one data center for two months. The same data application need to be run in another data center. They call location or VR the next two months. Exactly, so we need to have that ability to be able to take whatever application that we're running be it on-prem or in a cloud and be able to run that same application along with its data in another cloud or moving again between on-prem and the cloud and back. And of course, we'd like to be able to do all of this with one easy type of uniform experience. There is more solution out there to address the challenges we've gone through here so far. And Diane is going to walk you through how we are addressing that challenges for our customers in Meta. Thanks, Jaymon. So as Jaymon has mentioned, we've been talking about multi-cloud and the ability to manage workloads on different clouds all is one experience. So this is the dashboard of Astra as we were talking about where it shows that it's managing two application and three different clusters. So if we look at those clusters, we can see Astra has a cluster registered in Azure and it also has two clusters registered in GK. They are managed from the same interface. So looking at the cluster running on AKS, we can see the AKS knows the PVs from that cluster, the storage classes that Trident installed and the CSI provisioner and storage classes. If we take a look at one of the GKE clusters, we can see very similar information. The storage, the storage classes that Astra installed are also there. So we have a very recent experience between the GKE as well as the AKS. So if we take a look at the apps now, we can see the apps being managed. We're using WordPress as an example in this case. So we have a WordPress instance running on Azure and another instance running in GKE. So if we look at Azure and the data protection, we can see that we've got a snapshot already there. And if we take a look at the backups, there's also a scheduled backup that's been taken and we can configure the protection policy however we want. Next, we go to storage, we can see the PVs and all of the resources that are being managed along with this application. And then if we go ahead and take a look at the one on GKE, we can see a very similar setup where we've got the data protection, however we wanna set that up, we can do that. Again, snapshots and backups. We can configure it if we want, we can go to the storage, we can see the PVs and all the resources that are being managed by Astra together. So again, it looks exactly the same as what we just saw with AKS. So next we'll take a look at WordPress which is actually currently installed on the GKE cluster and we can see that we have a blog here. So moving back to Astra then at this point, we're gonna go to that specific application which is the WordPress on GKE and we're gonna clone it. So we just do the dropdown and hit clone. We go ahead and we fill in the clone details, we'll just use clone so we can keep it straight, which is which, the destination compute cluster that we want and then we just confirm it and it starts cloning. So after a few minutes, the clone has been completed and if we go ahead and click on that clone, we'll see all of those resources have been copied to that new cluster, the PVs are there, the data protection, we can go ahead and set up our own protection policy on that new clone if we would like and then we'll go over to that services and ingress and we're just gonna grab the IP address of the new load balancer. So we can go ahead and log into that and we can see that all of that content that was on that original cluster has now been copied over to that new cluster and look, we can still see Mr. Fluffypants now. So we have shown the ability to be able to migrate that application between one cluster and another cluster and have the same user experience between different clouds. So thank you for watching. We hope this was very informative. Come by our virtual booth. We'd love to hear from you and enjoy the rest of KubeCon EMEA.


Hello everyone, okay right now. I got an issue here with Galaxy Note 2 So this is GTN 7100 okay, so the issue here is as you say as you see it have a Dead syndrome that is what they call it, you know after Well about one year of usage it will be it will become useless, okay, so Now I can't turn it on it probably As I noticed I have tried flashing the custom ROM stock ROM using a clockwork mod recovery TWRP option Odin I've tried many options, but it still won't work. So that means If it can't flash anything inside this phone that means your the Heart this chip, I think emmc chip is broken Okay, so I can show you a demonstration now. I can't turn it on but I can go into safe I Can go into bootloader mode right now. So if I plug into the wire If I don't have any wire connected. I can't turn it on. Okay, so I try to plug it in here Okay, there you go So you can see firmware upgrade and counter an issue piece of recovery mode and keys and try again Okay, so Here you go, so let's let's let's Let's turn it on to safe mode give it a second. Okay, there you go. So I can go into this part Turn it on okay downloading do not turn off again. So I've connected it and go into Odin option go to PDA Okay, I got a file Open it And now I can go and try To start it. It's a phone. It takes a while since the stock from stock firmware is quite big It's around 1.3 gigabyte.  It's not working. So as you can see Yeah, it is trying to flash anything Recovery system It seems like it is flashing something You can see there. Okay, just wait a while I will bring you back until this one is finished Okay, so so as you can see it is almost done here Almost done flashing So that is the final Flashing compound which is cache and yeah, just a little bit of second it will finish But We will see the result if it works or not that we have to see it Well, suddenly my phone is dead. I got a few seconds left. Uh, yeah It goes it restart and yeah, it goes back into the same problem. I can't turn it on So I think that's the problem with this phone


If you enjoy watching Common Ground online, please consider making a tax-deductible donation at lptv.org. Common Ground is brought to you by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, with money from the vote of the people November 4th, 2008. My name is Michael Muirz, and I have written a book about the words and teachings of Larry Stillday, whose Indian name was Gitchi Maingen, which means Big Wolf. He was a teacher, a healer, and a spiritual and cultural advisor for the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians from the community of Obashing, or as many people know it better as, Ponima. The title of the book is Road to Ponima, and the subtitle is The Teachings of Larry Stillday. Well, I've been working for Red Lake as a public relations person for just over 20 years, and about six or seven years ago I met a fellow by the name of Larry Stillday, who was a cultural and spiritual elder leader in the Red Lake Reservation. He'd been gone for many years and then came back, and his family were spiritual leaders at Red Lake from Ponima, where most of them come from. And he had a philosophy about him that I found unusual in the sense that he wasn't talking to just Indians. He was talking to whites out of the colors of the medicine wheel, red, yellow, black, and white. And that struck me as unusual. I think that it probably had something to do with the time that he spent in Vietnam. He was in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. He would be now 72 years old if he was still alive. He also went through a period of, I'm not speaking out of school here, he was also, I went through a period of alcoholism. Spent some time in Louisiana, married to Louisiana Belle, moved back home and started studying under a former spiritual leader, Tommy, Tom Stillday, who was a, I believe, an uncle of his. And as Tommy started getting sick, he would ask Larry to take over his cultural-spiritual duties. For an example, Pow House is where he first started out. He just had this different way. He was a teacher somehow. He was more than just a person to give advice on cultural and spiritual things. He was a teacher and a healer. The first time that I recall noticing something really different about him and his approach to teaching, he had what he called a well-briety event, which is a way of approaching alcohol recovery, addictive recovery. And he had this well-briety event down at the waterfront here in Bemidji, or as he would say, Bemidji Gamag. He also got the mayor at the time to sign a proclamation, making that particular day well-briety day in Bemidji. And he invited everybody to come, and it didn't matter what color, white or red or black or brown or yellow, you know, please come to this. It seemed unusual because I don't recall ever having an Indian event in Bemidji before that. I never recall it, anyway. So I was attracted to that, and so I started following him around because with my job as a public relations person, it was my job to attend many of these events that he would be the spiritual and cultural advisor for. And then he would say these things that were almost poetic, chief Seattle-like, you know? People are familiar with the words of chief Seattle. And there was a poetry about them. He had a way of forming an argument that built up and also the way he chose his words. Unlike me, who has a tendency to be a little chatty, he would get his point across in just a couple of sentences. It was really impressive. I can think of one time we were out at the Panema Roundhouse, and we've been doing youth camps for cultural and language out there, and it's way in the backwoods of Panema at a very special sacred place. After this thing was over, there's 50, 60 rambunctious kids between the ages of all 6 and 12 or 13. And at the end of this thing, he started to speak and the kids just quieted. It was just amazing. And he lectured the elders there, the older people, the language people and the elders. And he said, quit teaching these kids that they've lost something. They haven't lost anything. Their culture and their language is contained in the land. I don't know, you just said those kinds of things that we haven't lost anything. Nobody is coming across the sea anymore to hurt your children. We need to rediscover who ourselves in order to heal.   If I claim this property here as my land, if I claim this as my land, it seems to me that I also claim its history. And there's so many people in the city of Bemidji that think that history started in Bemidji in 1895. And the people in Minnesota think that history started in 1858. And the United States thinks that history started in 1976 and the pilgrims before them, and Columbus, good lord, before them, that that's when history began. But there were people here for thousands and thousands of years and they had a culture and they had a language, and I might add that the Ojibwe language is probably one of the most complex languages in the world. You can conjugate verbs 64 times, 128 times you can conjugate verbs. It's just incredible the language. I don't expect to ever learn it, but I try. But anyway, if we claim this as our land, then we also claim its history, all of its history. And if we claim that history, I think that we also should respect and maybe even celebrate the culture of the indigenous peoples of this land. They've lived here. They know where the spirit is of this land. If land is related to nature and nature to God, then they've got something to teach us about this place that we live and the sacred spots. And they've got things to teach us about the animals and the plants and they do. I mean, there's medicines, these plants, that a lot of the medicine people don't want to share with us and one of the reasons why they don't want to is they're afraid that Santa's going to come along and put a darn patent on it, you know, or something. So, I don't know, I think they've got a lot, there's a lot to teach and that's what my approach is with the book is that he's talking almost like a psychologist, kind of psychology and spirituality kind of mixed in together. I think it's a really good message that he puts out there. It's not only these, you know, the four aspects of your life need to be balanced but he uses the medicine wheel, which is, there's four quadrants and very deep, many, many layers, he used that to teach. He turned 70 years old on the 14th of May, 2014 and he died on the 20th, six days later and then he had another one of his healing lodges scheduled for the 10th of June. Very much looking forward to that but it never happened. One of the most surprising things that happened when I started gathering all my material that I had on Larry, all his words and teachings, is that I ran across something that doesn't surprise me that I did at all, is I asked him at an earlier day three or four years before he died when I first started realizing what a great teacher he was, is I asked him, can I write about this? You know, because for an example, you don't shoot pictures during spiritual ceremonies on reservations with Indian people. So I wanted to ask, can I write about this? You know, can I write about your teachings which many of them are very cultured, some of them spiritual, can I write about this? And he wrote me back and he said, well, you know, if you think this will help people, go right ahead. And then I sent him three things that I had written about Ojibwe culture. And he wrote back and he said, wow, I've never read those before. I can't quote him exactly but he was, he said words to the effect that he really liked it and he thanked me for being the messenger of the teachings. So when I found that, I thought, well, hey, I've got, I can do this. I've got his permission, you know? And I kind of felt like I did, I could almost feel it, and that's in the forward. One of the biggest problems I've had was finding all this information that I had on him. I had emails from him. I had the stories that I'd written about him. I'd just taken notes. Sometimes he'd start talking about the wolf or something. When the wolf unstarted, he'd start talking about the wolf. And I'd start writing and finally I bought myself a tape recorder because he'd say these far-off things. I asked his wife one time, does he talk like this at home? She said, no, he just seems to flow from him when the time comes, when the time is right. He's just a very impressive person. He touched a lot of people, touched many more people than I'd ever imagined. But I had to put it together and one of the other things, probably half the book, was made up of PowerPoint teachings. What Larry did was he took these teachings, and this includes the teachings of the seven grandfathers, which is seven virtues that he would talk about and each is represented by an animal, and then of course balance in all parts of your life. Bringing that all together and then deciding how it ought to work together was a very, not tedious, because I found myself learning. I was feeling bad because he was gone and I wasn't being taught anymore. But as I went through these PowerPoints and all these stories that I'd written about him and all the stories that I found about him and I even found some film that I transcribed. KTCA did, he was in the language revitalization, revitalization that KTCA did out of the Twin Cities public television. So I transcribed that as well. All putting that all together took me hours and hundreds of hours, I'm sure. I didn't try to document how long, but it took me a year of fairly regular working on it. When the book comes out, folks would like to pick it up and read it. It was done by a local publisher called Riverfeet Press. He's got a Facebook page, he's also got a web page, and if you just put Riverfeet Press in your search engine, it'll come up. But it'll also be available on Kindle. It'll also be available from Amazon and there'll be various bookstores that this publisher has got here in the city of Bemidji and actually all across northern Minnesota that handle his books. I see importance in the teachings that he had and I see it even more now that he's gone which is what happens oftentimes is you realize, oh wow, this guy was really a great teacher and you knew he was a good teacher at the time but when he's gone you realize, oh wow and I'm hoping that people will get something out of it and make a better world. Little by little we all do our little part.


I want to talk to you today about the importance of perseverance and determination. Life is full of challenges and obstacles, and it's easy to become discouraged or give up when things get tough. But it is those who persevere and stay determined who ultimately achieve success. Perseverance is about staying committed to our goals and pushing through difficulties even when we face setbacks or failures. It's about having the resilience and courage to keep going even when the path ahead seems uncertain or difficult. Determination is the inner drive that propels us forward even in the face of adversity. It's about having a clear vision of what we want to achieve and the willingness to put in the hard work and effort required to make it happen. Both perseverance and determination are essential for achieving success in any area of our life. They require us to have a strong sense of purpose and willingness to take risks and learn from our mistakes. When we persevere and stay determined, we not only achieve our goals but also develop important life skills such as resilience, adaptability and self-discipline. We also inspire others with our determination and become role models for those around us. But perseverance and determination are not always easy to maintain. They require us to overcome self-doubt and fear and stay focused on our goals even when distractions arise. They also require patience and success often takes time and effort to achieve. So my message to you today is this, embrace the power of perseverance and determination. Stay committed to your goals and keep pushing forward even when the going gets tough. Believe in yourself and your ability to achieve success. And remember the journey may not always be easy but the reward at the end is worth it. Thank you.
