Personnel: Cody Hosterman, Jon Owings

Cody Hosterman, Director VMware Solutions Engineering, and Jon Owings, Principal Solution Architect, discuss Pure Storage’s Hybrid Cloud Kubernetes offering with vSphere. Although Pure Storage supports Kubernetes without VMware, many of their customers are looking for a supported, integrated offering with vSphere through Tanzu and a cloud-native storage (CSI) driver. Pure Storage offers two options: VMFS with tag-based placement and vVols with feature-based placement, and policy-based storage provisioning. Pure Storage Orchestrator determines storage placement regardless of the physical storage configuration with automatic failover as containers are stopped and restarted. Pure Storage also offers an integrated Cloud Block Store in Amazon AWS, enabling seamless data access from VMware Tanzu to Amazon EKS or other Kubernetes offerings in the cloud. Owings and Hosterman take questions from the Storage Field Day delegates during their demonstration of this functionality.
