DataStax Enterprise TestDrive on Pivotal Container Service (PKS)

DataStax has partnered with Pivotal to provide real-time data platforms at cloud-scale for customers building customer 360 real-time applications and large-scale microservices on the Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) application platform. They have developed Kubernetes yaml files which deploy DataStax Enterprise inside a Kubernetes cluster managed by PKS, and are working on their next generation broker integration via Pivotal's new service broker called Kibosh. This post provides background on why DataStax created a tool to help manage containerized DSE environments on PKS and a guide to setting it up in your PKS environment. The partnership aims to provide an installable tile on the PCF marketplace, allowing customers to deploy DSE in a PKS environment in a robust and consistent manner. This enables developers to consume DSE as their real-time data platform within Pivotal Cloud Foundry's paradigm.
