Massively Scalable Storage for Stateful Containers on Azure

Explore a technical conference talk from the Storage Developer Conference (SDC) 2023 that delves into Azure Container Storage and Azure Elastic SAN technologies. Learn how Azure Container Storage provides unified volume management across cloud storage backends through its container-native, microservices-based architecture. Discover the technical designs and innovations behind Azure Elastic SAN's architecture, which delivers highly available block storage capable of scaling to millions of IOPS with low millisecond latency. Understand how these technologies work together to enable elastic bursting of stateful pods for large-scale data processing while maintaining cost efficiency. Gain insights into the integration possibilities between various SAN solutions and Azure Container Storage. Microsoft experts Malcolm Smith and Vybava Ramadoss demonstrate the architecture of Azure Elastic SAN, explain how it enables highly scalable cloud storage, and showcase the container bursting capabilities when combined with Azure Container Storage.
