Running a Globally Distributed Cassandra Cluster on Kubernetes in the Cloud
There are several examples online that show how to get a Cassandra cluster up and running in Kubernetes, but very few on how to go beyond a simple deployment to a globally distributed and operationally viable one. In this talk, Mike will be going over the technical and operational issues uncovered with running in this type of environment, and the solutions his team have implemented.

Real-Time Insurance Product Recommendations and Customer 360 Across Multiple Clouds? We Can and You Can Too
Boggess Advisory Group helped a leading insurance giant create a streaming data platform that constructs a 360-degree view of the customer in real time. The platform powers the creation of new investment products and a remarkable planning experience by leveraging containerized DataStax Enterprise running in Kubernetes. To avoid lock-in, we deployed across two public cloud vendors (AWS and Azure) which allows cost optimization and cloud independence at scale. Come learn more about our use case and how we deployed it for the best possible customer experience.

DataStax Enterprise on VMware Cloud for Hybrid Deployments
Customers have been using VMware with DataStax Enterprise and Apache Cassandra on premises for years. In 2018, we jointly launched a breakthrough in the VSAN architecture which enabled storage to be pinned to its compute node. In this talk we'll provide a review of those breakthroughs and performance results as well as insight into how easily this can now be applied to VMware Cloud to enable a seamless cloud migration and hybrid cloud strategy for our joint customers. We'll also provide detailed performance, scale, failover, and operational test results.

What's Next for Cassandra in the Cloud?
Apache Cassandra is justifiably famous as the database of choice for many digital native companies who deploy their apps exclusively in public clouds. Many large enterprises have followed that example and found success there as well, but not without some banged shins along the way. As powerful as it is, Cassandra can be a difficult bit of technology to implement and manage properly. This talk presents how DataStax has worked to reduce that level of difficulty and make it easy for developers to get started with Cassandra in the cloud with just a few clicks.
