In today’s episode we explore the topic of data management on various Kubernetes orchestration systems. We have Andy Gower on the podcast as our first guest  Who has a background in solutions. He previously worked at SONY Playstation and IBM and now works on solutions for Pure Storage. We’re excited to have him on the podcast to talk about some experience he has working with different orchestration systems. We talk with Andy about his past experience at IBM and explore what Kubernetes data management means for organizations looking to use a platform rather than build one themselves.
