Accelerate with IBM Storage

Abstract:  This Accelerate session will review the recent update to IBM Cloud Private to enhance and expand our support for stateful Containers now supporting Block, File or Object storage. This new support means the entire IBM storage offerings for Block, File and Object are now available for customers deploying Stateful Containers that require their data in a container to be available even if a Container were to be shutdown, moved or replicated. This session will review all three storage types and demonstrate how easy using File with Spectrum Scale it can be utilized by Container development and operation teams.
