KubeBlocks: Unified Management of Multiple Databases with Abstract and Extended APIs

Introduction: In the context of cost reduction and efficiency, hybrid deployment and deployment density optimization have become the goals pursued by enterprises, and K8s is gradually becoming the standard choice for enterprises to realize database hosting on hybrid cloud. With the emergence of distributed databases, homegrown databases, and various types of emerging databases, enterprises are facing the challenge of how to efficiently manage diverse databases on the K8s platform.Based on the new concepts developed in recent years in software engineering, KubeBlocks realizes a unified abstraction of multiple types of databases and big data systems, and manages various databases through domain model abstraction and low-code extensions, to It avoids chimney construction. It provides an open source solution for enterprise customers to rapidly build multi-territory, multi-cloud/hybrid cloud DBPaaS on K8s. KubeBlocks provides Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) automation capabilities and rich Day2 O&M features, as well as Cloud / Enterprise one-stop multi-cloud, multi-engine database hosting services. Outline: Technology trends in the cloud-native space Enterprise needs for cloud-native data infrastructure The drawbacks of traditional chimney architectures How KubeBlocks enables unified management of multiple databases by abstracting and extending APIs Assembling database infrastructure on K8s as standard and efficient as building Legos
