The Data on Kubernetes Community (DoKC)
announced two new sponsors, a new Community Collaborator program,
and its first Community Collaborator. Ametnes and Dell Technologies are
DoKC's newest Silver sponsors, and Rook signed on as a Community
Collaborator. The new members bring deep expertise in building and
delivering cloud-native services to customers of all sizes, industries,
and geographies.
The
DoK Community Collaborators program is designed to expand the diversity
and reach of the community, while empowering nonprofit-backed open
source projects to share their voice and expertise to advance the DoK
ecosystem. The goal of the program is to facilitate more collaboration
among DoK-related technology communities and end users who are running
data-intensive workloads on Kubernetes.
The recently released Data on Kubernetes 2022 Report found
that a majority (83 percent) of the 500 executives and technology
leaders surveyed attribute over 10 percent of their revenue to running
data on Kubernetes. One-third of organizations saw their productivity
increase twofold. The data also shows that users of data on Kubernetes
are beginning to implement more complex workloads, starting with
databases and analytics workloads and expanding to include AI/ML and
streaming/messaging. The DoK Community's steady growth further
underscores that running data on Kubernetes is delivering significant
value to organizations.
"Ametnes,
Dell Technologies, and Rook bring a wealth of knowledge to help the
DoKC continue to provide the education and resources organizations need
to be successful with data on Kubernetes," said Melissa Logan, director,
Data on Kubernetes Community. "We're particularly excited to see how
our Community Collaborators program will diversify and expand the
community's ability to reach end-users and support their DoK journey. We
are thrilled this community continues to gain momentum and look forward
to partnering with our new members to accelerate the DoK ecosystem."
About the new Silver Sponsors and Community Collaborator:
- Ametnes offers
managed cloud services to simplify management of cloud native data
services including databases, messaging and caches on any public or
private cloud platform.
- Dell Technologies provides
end-to-end solutions and tools for containers and Kubernetes (featuring
cloud-native storage modules, infrastructure as code, and more),
enabling organizations to accelerate their DevOps practices and create
multicloud consistency.
- Rook configures
the Ceph distributed storage platform to provide enterprise block
storage (RWO), shared filesystem (RWX), and object storage (S3) for
Kubernetes applications. The Rook operator automates and simplifies the
tasks of a Ceph storage administrator.

As organizations see the benefits of DoK, the community continues to grow. The annual Data on Kubernetes 2022 Report found
that a majority (83 percent) of the 500 executives and technology
leaders surveyed attribute over 10 percent of their revenue to running
data on Kubernetes. One-third of organizations saw their productivity
increase twofold. Today, DoKC hosts more than 19,000 members across its
channels and has held over 150 live streams with practical knowledge
about DoK. The community recently created a Special Interest Group (SIG)
to create solutions to ensure operators work seamlessly for end users,
and enabling them to bring more workloads to DoK.
