Running Spark & Alluxio in Kubernetes
The latest advances in container orchestration by Kubernetes bring cost savings and flexibility to compute workloads in public or hybrid cloud environments. On the other hand, it introduces new challenges such as how to move data to compute efficiently, how to unify data across multiple or remote clouds, how to co-locate data with compute and many more. Alluxio approaches these problems in a new way. It helps elastic compute workloads realize the true benefits of the cloud, while bringing data locality and data accessibility to workloads orchestrated by Kubernetes
