Ten years ago, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) was born! Since then, it has become the industry-leading managed Kubernetes platform, powering mission-critical workloads across all industries. But the innovations have just begun. Join this session to learn about the latest GKE features and upcoming innovations – such as next-generation autoscaling, lightning-fast node startup, and multi-cluster fleet management – that make GKE the best Kubernetes platform for the next generation of AI and modern workloads.

Kubernetes is the de facto standard for running modern, containerized workloads in cloud. Google open-sourced Kubernetes 10 years ago and has built the easiest to use and most scalable managed service in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Join this keynote to learn how top customers are leveraging GKE to run their businesses and to hear about the latest innovations and future directions of GKE.

As organizations strive to do more with less, DB2 Universal Database v8.1 on Windows Server 2003 brings unprecedented enterprise-class scalability to 32-bit and 64-bit Intel platforms. Supporting both vertical (scale up) and horizontal (scale out) scaling, DB2 UDB v8.1 represents over a decade of industry proven scalability with both non-clustered and clustered database architectures. This IBM Redbooks publication is designed as an informative guide to scaling DB2 UDB V8.1 with Windows Server 2003. It is intended for database and system administrators who need both an introduction and detailed information on scaling DB2 UDB on Windows Server 2003. We begin with an overview to scalability including the goals, measurements, and common approaches. We introduce the scalability features of DB2 UDB, Windows Server 2003, and the IBM xSeries Servers followed by some design considerations for scaling. We dedicate an entire chapter to running DB2 UDB on 64-bit Windows including installation, configuration, and 64-bit migration techniques. We discuss scaling up and how to leverage large memory support in a 32-bit environments. Finally, we include a chapter on scaling out including adding logical and physical database partitions.
