Geographically Distributed CockroachDB with OpenShift

As your OpenShift practice matures, it is likely that you will be asked to support stateful workloads. Multicluster deployment of stateful workloads can become complex, especially when considering Disaster Recovery strategies.

In this briefing, Raffaele Spazzoli (Red Hat) and Keith McClellan (Cockroach Labs) will discuss how to deploy CockroachDB on OpenShift across three AWS regions to achieve zero downtime, zero data loss disaster recovery strategy.

2. Cloud Native Disaster Recovery
   2
   Concern Traditional Disaster Recovery Cloud Native Disaster Recovery
   Disaster detection and DR procedure
   trigger
   Human Autonomous
   DR Procedure Mix of automation and human actions Fully automated
   Recovery Time Objective (RTO) From minutes to hours Near zero (seconds)
   Recovery Point Objective (RPO) From zero to hours Zero
   Process Owner Often the storage team Application team
   Technical Capabilities From Storage Products (backups, volume
   sync)
   From networking products (east-west
   communication, global load balancer)
