The rise of compute-intensive workloads and the adoption of the cloud has driven organizations to adopt a decoupled architecture for modern workloads — one in which compute scales independently from storage. While this enables scaling elasticity, it introduces new data engineering problems — this is where an abstraction layer is needed. Just as compute and containers need Kubernetes, with data silos only increasing, data also needs orchestration — a tier, one that brings data locality, data accessibility and data elasticity to compute across data silos, zones, regions and even clouds.
