Rancher

Many engineers are getting excited about the potential of combining distributed storage and distributed SQL databases on top of Kubernetes infrastructure.

Why? Distributed SQL delivers global data distribution and high performance, and when combined with distributed storage enables truly multi-cloud deployments with very fast node recovery times.

In this Kubernetes Master Class, Sid Choudhury - VP Product at YugabyteDB, will walk you through the necessary steps to deploy a completely cloud native infrastructure stack. The stack will consist of Google Kubernetes Engine, Rancher enterprise Kubernetes management tooling, Longhorn distributed block storage and a YugabyteDB distributed SQL database.
