Kubernetes (K8s) sits at the center of the known universe, steering the massive shift from legacy systems to next-generation applications and modern virtualization. In this vast desert of infrastructure, one truth remains absolute: they who control the data layer control the universe.
For July 2026, your Kwisatz Haderach of hosts, Andrew Miller, invites mentat James McShane to explore these tectonic shifts—and why Portworx® is even more vital today than 5+ years ago when acquired by Everpure, formerly Pure Storage®, to be the ultimate k8s data layer.
Here’s what we'll traverse on our journey:
- The path of the mentat James: From large-scale virtualization to massive K8s clusters, and even piloting K8s on autonomous drones (the ultimate hunter-seekers).
- The weirding way of modern tech: the explosion of new K8s developments with a focus on KubeVirt and how it’s reshaping modern virtualization trends.
- The litany against data loss: Core storage needs in K8s environments, the foundational Portworx design principles built to survive them, and why they matter when the sandworms of downtime strike.
- The voice of Portworx: New capabilities designed to conquer KubeVirt/VMware migrations, establish unified control planes, and shift your focus from rigid mechanics to pure intent (Imperative vs. Declarative)--dare we say, bending the infrastructure to your will.
