Cloud-managed databases target cost and simplify adoption
When it comes to cloud-managed databases, IBM Corp. has designed an approach to let developers focus on building applications while it maintains cloud-based systems to save cost and make administration easier.
“Cloud-managed databases, at its core, is about simplifying adoption of cloud-provided services and reducing the capital expense that comes along with developing your applications,” said Jozef de Vries (pictured), director of IBM cloud databases, product and engineering. “What we’re trying to do is extract the overhead that’s associated with running your own systems.”
De Vries spoke with Dave Vellante (@dvellante) and Lisa Martin (@LisaMartinTV), co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the IBM Think event in San Francisco. They discussed how IBM has stayed in tune with the needs of developers and the company’s work in the Kubernetes space. (* Disclosure below.)
Responding to open-source needs
IBM has built its cloud-managed database portfolio while remaining mindful of open-source solutions that are popular with developers. Database management systems, such as PostgreSQL, or message-broker software, such as RabbitMQ, are among the various technologies requested for support, according to de Vries.
“The way we try to approach our portfolio is by focusing on deep, broad and secure,” de Vries said. “We’re allowing the developer to focus on their business-critical applications, their objectives, and really what they’re paid for. They’re paid to build applications; they’re not paid to maintain systems.”
IBM has also been closely attuned to the expanding Kubernetes container orchestration community. In May, the company rebranded its cloud container service offering as the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service.
Portability has been a key element in IBM’s database approach. “For the last couple of years, there’s been a tremendous amount of investment in building on the Kubernetes platform,” de Vries said. “It’s a platform that allows us to orchestrate deployments, deletions of databases, backups, high availability. It’s portable in its leveraging of the Kubernetes technology itself.”
