Open-Source DBs on VKS: Automated DBaaS via Percona & VMware Cloud Foundation

As Kubernetes becomes the universal platform for modern apps, databases are following. VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) provides CNCF-conformant Kubernetes within VMware Cloud Foundation, but native Kubernetes lacks awareness of each instance’s role in replication and of backup consistency. Users often face a choice between manual operations or restrictive, paid vendor operators.

Broadcom and Percona have partnered to bridge this gap. Percona’s open-source operators for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB transform VKS into a fully automated, declarative database service.

Join this technical deep dive to see a live VKS deployment. We will stand up a high-availability PostgreSQL cluster featuring automated backups, Point-in-Time Recovery (PiTR), Percona Monitoring & Management (PMM) observability—all from one YAML manifest. If you manage databases on VMware infrastructure or are evaluating Kubernetes for stateful workloads, this session delivers the blueprint.
