Last year, MayaData helped to create the independent Data on Kubernetes Community (DoKC) to provide a marketing-free zone for practitioners to compare their approaches to running data on Kubernetes. Now, almost a year later, any doubts about K8s being ready to take on data will be put to rest on May 3 at 10 a.m. CEST (4 a.m. EDT/1 a.m. PDT) during a special event called Data on Kubernetes Day, a co-located event forming part of the upcoming KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe conference.

We took this opportunity to ask the CEO and co-founder of MayaData, Evan Powell, why MayaData helped create the DoKC and what the future holds for the DoKC (and more broadly, for the use of Kubernetes for data).

That said, the mission statement it has published and the statement of principles now in discussion both indicate that the core mission is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for the discussion of approaches to running data on Kubernetes.

There is a lot of money at stake and every proprietary vendor in IT that has anything to do with data is already claiming to add value to data running on Kubernetes and the cloud.
