Explore persistent memory (PMEM) technologies and their integration with Kubernetes in this 22-minute conference talk. Learn about PMEM's unique characteristics as a third tier between memory and storage, offering byte-addressable access with non-volatile preservation. Discover how PMEM can enhance system performance, providing faster start-up times and improved access to large in-memory datasets. Gain insights into Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory hardware and the PMEM-CSI storage driver, which enables PMEM utilization in Kubernetes clusters. Understand the potential benefits of PMEM in terms of performance and total cost of ownership for cloud-native applications.
