Kubernetes HA Database Strategies for Cloud-Native Resilience
About This Event
Kubernetes is widely used to run applications in the cloud, but when it comes to databases, things get more complex. Databases need to stay online even if servers fail, storage breaks, or networks go down. That’s why high availability and resilience are so important.
In this session, we’ll break down practical strategies for keeping databases running smoothly on private Kubernetes setups. You’ll learn about replication, failover, resilient storage, and recovery steps that help databases survive disruptions. We’ll also look at Kubernetes tools like StatefulSets, Pod Disruption Budgets, and operators for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB.
Finally, we’ll talk about testing your setup with “gameday” exercises—simulating failures to see how your system reacts. This way, teams can spot weaknesses early, improve recovery plans, and build confidence.
