I'm Xueqiang Wu, and I'm thrilled to be here at KubeCon to share some insights with you. Today, I’ll be co-presenting with Yuxing Liu from Kuaishou, and we'll discuss the migration of large-scale Redis instances from bare metal to Kubernetes, focusing on how this move can significantly improve resource utilization.

Let’s start with today’s agenda. First, I'll give you a quick introduction to the KubeBlocks project. Then, from the perspective of a single Redis cluster, I’ll highlight three key challenges KubeBlocks addresses to better run databases like Redis on Kubernetes. After that, Yuxing will share his experiences of managing multiple Redis clusters across multiple Kubernetes clusters, from a large-scale deployment perspective.

To begin, let me give you an overview of KubeBlocks. KubeBlocks was created by ApeCloud, a startup founded by a team with extensive experience in database development and operations, particularly from our time at Alibaba Cloud. About two years ago, we decided to start our own company, focusing on building products that simplify running databases like Redis on Kubernetes. Last year, we open-sourced the KubeBlocks project.
