Alluxio at KubeCon 2019 - Open Source Data Orchestration Platform for the Cloud

Written by Brian Ducharme

VMblog visits the Alluxio booth during KubeCon 2019 in San Diego.

Alluxio is a data orchestration platform that works with Kubernetes. They enable elastic data for elastic compute with tight locality in K8s, meaning you can cache data close to compute, enable high-speed data sharing across jobs, and orchestrate data across storage systems.

Alluxio moves data seamlessly (no management overhead) from remote data silos from cloud stores like S3, or file systems like HDFS, into your K8s cluster for tighter data locality (fast performance) and highly elastic data access for your elastic compute within K8s.
