MTT #12: Storage Engineering & Infrastructure 101

​We’ll walk through every layer, from local disks to the cloud, covering filesystems, K8s storage solutions, and the latest AWS S3 features.

​Agenda:

​6:35-7:10 PM Rethinking Filesystems and Volume Management With ZFS

By Konrad Pizzuto, Director of Technology Operations, Altenar

In this talk we’ll dive into the evolution of filesystems, volume management, and memory management to see how ZFS solved some of the toughest storage problems in the industry more than 20 years ago. Those tech engineering principles had shaped how I think about storage systems, became foundational for the industry and are worth revisiting.

7:20-8:00 PM Distributed Storage Systems: Introduction to Rook & Ceph

By Mykhailo Zhuravel, Automation DevOps Engineer, Altenar

This talk walks through common storage challenges in on-premises environments, the distributed storage systems available to address them, and the trade-offs behind different approaches, ultimately leading to Rook-Ceph as a storage solution for Kubernetes.

​8:10-8:40 PM Exploring the Latest Amazon S3 Features

​By Kenneth Attard, Malta AWS User Group leader

​Whether you use S3 for application storage, data lakes, analytics, ML, or large-scale data platforms, this session will show how the latest capabilities can help you get much more from your data and solve real-world architectural challenges.
