Before we dive into the work you’re doing with Kubernetes, let’s talk about your background. Topic 2 - Kubernetes started with a focus on “cloud-native apps”, then it became a blurring of infrastructure. How does Couchbase see the market evolving around Kubernetes, especially as a stateful service? Topic 3 - There is frequently a debate about whether or not to run data services on Kubernetes, or run them off-cluster. How does Couchbase view this, and what are some things that Kubernetes does to improve how Couchbase runs?Topic 4 - Let’s talk about some of the common use-cases you’re seeing for Couchbase, whether it’s on Kubernetes, or in the cloud, or out at the Edge. Topic 5 - Do you see any multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud use-cases where Couchbase is a good fit, or is it too difficult to span databases across clouds? Topic 6 - What areas around Kubernetes do you see evolving to help use-cases for Couchbase (i.e. other CNCF projects, etc.)? FEEDBACK?Email: show at thecloudcast dot netTwitter: @thecloudcastnet
