The Challenge of Persistent Data on Kubernetes
Persistent data can be a challenge for any Kubernetes practitioner. After all, Kubernetes did not start with stateful workloads in mind. In many ways, persistence seemingly goes against the grain of Kubernetes’ declarative configurations. After all, building to a desired state doesn’t have an easy analog in the world of data. In our last blog we learned about a number of challenges to running Kubernetes in the enterprise.
Portworx at KubeCon London 2025: A Game-Changer with Our First Ever VMs on Kubernetes Day
The wait is over! KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 is almost here, and this time, it’s taking place in the vibrant city of London. As always, Portworx is excited to be at the center of the action, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with Kubernetes storage and data management.
5 Game-Changing Trends for 2025: How Kubernetes Platforms are Leading the Way
Kubernetes celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, and it is truly inspiring to see how far the technology has come. From its inception as an open source project from Google to its evolution as the de-facto container orchestration platform on the market today, Kubernetes has seen leaps and bounds in its adoption to handling mission-critical applications in organizations of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Introducing Portworx Backup 2.8: Enhanced Control for Enterprise Kubernetes Backups
Managing Kubernetes backups in large organizations can be complex, especially as the scale of clusters and users grows. Portworx Backup 2.8 introduces two new features—Super Admin Role and Cluster Sharing—designed to provide enterprise backup teams with enhanced control, visibility, and security. Let’s dive into these features and the benefits they bring to your backup operations. Super Admin Role The super admin role joins the roster of role-based access control within Portworx Backup.
Data on Kubernetes, Portworx, and you at KubeCon NA 2024
— Just the TL;DR please: Skip to the summary — Portworx is excited to return to KubeCon North America! Data on Kubernetes has matured significantly over the past few years: 97% of organizations using Kubernetes choose to run data-intensive workloads, while 54% run AI/ML workloads. Consequently, data-intensive workloads are a growing focus for the conference this year, with dedicated tracks for both Data Processing + Storage, as well as AI + ML.
Getting the Best out of Portworx When Running GenAI Stack
As AI and machine learning workloads increasingly depend on stateful data management and real-time access to large datasets, the role of a robust storage layer becomes pivotal in the architecture of these systems. Efficient data storage and management are crucial for running generative AI workloads in production. Portworx, a cloud-native storage solution, offers robust features that enhance the performance and scalability of your GenAI stack. Why Optimize Storage for GenAI?
How Portworx Can Enhance Generative AI Initiatives on Kubernetes
Generative AI, with its need for high computational power and efficient data management, requires a robust infrastructure to operate effectively. Kubernetes has emerged as the preferred orchestrator for managing such complex AI workloads due to its scalability, fault tolerance, and multi-tenant capabilities. Portworx, with its advanced storage solutions, plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance and reliability of generative AI applications on Kubernetes.
A Closer Look at the Generative AI Stack on Kubernetes
Kubernetes, the most preferred orchestrator for modern scalable applications, excels at managing complex, distributed systems and is particularly adept at handling stateful and stateless workloads required for deploying and managing a complete generative AI stack. Organizations are increasingly adopting Kubernetes (K8s) for AI workloads over traditional bare-metal setups due to several compelling advantages.

Stateful vs Stateless, an Explanation
This is a post that has been a very long time in the making, and my title even has some inherent flaws! My hope is to have a more in-depth discussion about containers that have been informed by my travels as a cloud architect. My hope (as always) is to approach this subject with curiosity and hospitality. First, I want to start by saying that I have a horse in this race: I work for Portworx. I work on a product that solves problems around stateful applications in Kubernetes.
Enhancing Deployment Processes: A Hands-On Demo of CD Pipelines with Stateful Apps in Kubernetes
I recently had the pleasure of diving into CD pipelines with Stephen Atwell of Armory. (Thank you, Todd and Justin from our Portland user group for the introduction!) In one of our conversations, we were musing about what we could do with Portworx migrations as part of a deployment pipeline, and Stephen posed an intriguing question: Could we create a staging environment and run data integrity tests as part of a database upgrade pipeline?
