This talk explores the essential requirements to host mission critical database applications in containers. Specifically, it focuses on the following capabilities that the container ecosystem needs to provide to host such databases:
Scalable and persistent data volumes High Availability for containers Migration of containers across hosts Disaster Recovery capability This talk will demonstrate a case study on how the above goals can be met for Docker ecosystem. Docker ecosystem is not completely evolved to meet the needs of mission critical databases to be run in Docker containers. As a result, there is hesitation in moving enterprise class and mission critical databases from physical/virtual machine platforms to containers. Elaborating on each of the above objectives, the talk intends to inspire confidence to deploy mission critical databases in Docker containers.
