DataStax Enterprise in Azure – Walgreens Path to the Cloud-Based Microservices Applications

During this presentation, you will learn why Walgreens picked DataStax as a database platform for our new Rx Microservices Application Stack. We'll explore how we are deploying and using DataStax and Apache Cassandra in the Azure Cloud. This includes VM and configuration details with Azure Cloud specific nuances as well as the DataStax Enterprise security features implementation related to LDAP, SSL/TLS, TDE, and audit. We'll provide an overview of lessons learned from our recent implementation, which includes DSE 6.0.x upgrades, and share our experience and some tidbits on new DSE 6.x features such as NodeSync.
