Upcoming: Learn 5 Key Things About Running Databases in Containers vs. VMs

Virtualization and containerization are in VMware’s DNA. But did you know we’re also experts in databases? Greenplum represents more than 15 years of development experience parallelizing Postgres to crunch petabyte-scale data sets. Indeed, we’ve made more than 600 commits to the PostgreSQL project in the last 18 months alone.

And now we’re combining all that expertise to bring you our point of view on the realities of running database workloads in containers.

  • What are the real differences in performance?

  • What's it like to scale up and scale down for each?

  • How does recovery compare when there's a failure?
