  Content Type
  Exercise

  Duration
  45m

  Level
  Intermediate

  See how Kubernetes can be used with InterSystems IRIS® data platform to achieve high availability in your deployments. In this exercise, you will deploy a cluster, simulate a disaster scenario, and learn how Kubernetes can prevent data loss and downtime.

  Learning Objectives

  • Run sample containers and pods in a Kubernetes cluster.
  • Deploy InterSystems IRIS into a cluster.
  • Explore storage volumes across pods.
  • Simulate a disaster by killing a pod.
  • Identify the value of Kubernetes in preventing disasters.

  What's Next?

  In this exercise, you saw how easy it can be to make your InterSystems IRIS cluster highly available with Kubernetes.

  Kubernetes has an ever-growing footprint in the cloud computing space, and it is often the best way to ensure your deployments are scalable, efficient, and highly available for users.

  The InterSystems Kubernetes Operator provides even more control of your InterSystems IRIS instances from Kubernetes without the need to manually interact with each instance of InterSystems IRIS.
