Feed: Planet big data. Author: Praveen Sripati. In K8S, everything is declarative and not imperative. We specify the target state to K8S and it will make sure that that the target state is always there, even in the case of failures. Basically, we specify what we want (as in the case of SQL) and not how to do it. In the above scenario, we have 1 master and 2 nodes. We can ask K8S to deploy 6 pods (application instances) onto the nodes and K8S will automatically schedule the pods across the nodes. In case one of the node goes ... Read More

Feed: Alation. Author: Malcolm Chisholm. As data drives more and more of the modern economy, data governance and data management are racing to keep up with an ever-expanding range of requirements, constraints and opportunities.It is a little like a data version of the Cambrian Explosion, where data-centricity is giving rise to a rich variety of practices, each distinct and unique in its own way. Some of these practices will succeed and develop, while others will no doubt become blind alleys inevitably forgotten. Even so, it is already possible to discern some practices that will become new disciplines. And among these, ... Read More
