The second use case continues the containerized application journey by using the XtremIO X2 CSI plug-in for Kubernetes to achieve a greater level of automation and ease of management for dev/test environments. Here we move beyond manually provisioning storage to automated provisioning. Using Kubernetes, our developer controls the provisioning of the SQL container from a local private registry and the database storage from the XtremIO X2 array. After working on the AdventureWorks database application, the developer protects the updated state of the database code and data by using Kubernetes to take an XtremIO Virtual Copies snapshot of the database. After a round of destructive testing, the developer then restores the database to the preserved state by using Kubernetes and XtremIO Virtual Copies. A technical writer provisions the modified database to document the code changes, and the developer removes the containers and cleans up the environment.
