Providing complete and usable third-party solutions is non-trivial (otherwise the cloud vendors would already have done it). " Training in the cloud and the need for much better governance are both pretty uncontroversial directions. ." But model inference migrating into the DBMS is a bolder prediction.

Unfortunately, container security is much more difficult to achieve than security for more traditional compute platforms, such as virtual machines or bare metal hosts. This is how most Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPPs) operate as well as popular image scanners such as Anchore and Clair. Best practices for container security.

If you have a distributed environment with multiple servers hosting your webservers, app servers, and database, I suggest you install the OneAgent on all these servers to get full end-to-end visibility. Kubernetes, OpenShift, Cloud Foundry or Azure Web Apps then install the OneAgent by following the OneAgent PaaS installation options.

In both cases, when using virtually-synchronous replication, the process will require certification from each node and local (by node) write; as such, the number of writes is NOT distributed across multiple nodes but duplicated. Also, in the case of multi-Primary, the writes will be distributed by transaction. The POC Why this POC?
