Postgres on Kubernetes for the Reluctant DBA

This conference talk explores how Kubernetes can enhance database administration for traditional DBAs who may be hesitant about running mission-critical databases on container orchestration platforms. Learn why experienced database administrators should consider Kubernetes despite common misconceptions that it's only suitable for stateless applications. Discover how organizations are successfully running hundreds or even thousands of mission-critical, multi-terabyte Postgres databases on Kubernetes. Gain insights into how Kubernetes can complement existing database expertise and provide powerful new tools to address traditional database management challenges. The 25-minute presentation by Karen Jex from Crunchy Data offers practical perspectives for database professionals looking to evolve their skills in cloud-native environments.
