[PLUG-ANNOUNCE] Reminder! August PLUG Meeting: Using DRBD and LINSTOR to Facilitate Cloud Migration and Mobility (In person!)

[Michael Dexter]

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement

Who: Julia Iacoviello
What: Using DRBD and LINSTOR to Facilitate Cloud Migration and Mobility
Where: 5500 SW Dosch Rd, Portland
When: Thursday, August 3rd, 2023 at 7pm
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom

There are many advantages to flexible cloud storage, but even with a 
good idea of how you might implement your environment in the cloud, the 
challenge of transferring legacy data may stand in your way. In this 
talk, Julia Iacoviello from LINBIT will explain core concepts of the 
open source, distributed replicated storage system, DRBD, as well as the 
open source storage management software, LINSTOR. Then, we will explore 
how these technologies can be leveraged to mitigate pain points in 
migrating production databases and other services into the cloud, 
including to containerized applications that rely on persistent stateful 
storage. Special considerations to be made for migration of existing 
data will be highlighted in this talk; additionally, a broad base of 
information about DRBD and general high-availability storage will be 
provided, with the hope that all that attend may learn something 
applicable to their particular use case, now or in the future.
