Join us for an interactive deep-dive into automating VAST storage operations using VAST's powerful open-source Python SDKs. In this hands-on session, you'll learn to build automated solutions for the storage and data management problems that keep sysadmins and developers up at night: scaling storage on demand, organizing massive datasets, orchestrating complex data pipelines, managing data versions, and creating intelligent alerting systems.
Key Topics:
vastpy: Programmatic management of VAST storage systems through the VMS REST API
vastdb_sdk: Schema management, data ingest, and querying with VAST Database & Catalog
Automation Workflows: Building repeatable, scalable solutions for common storage operations
Takeaways:
Automated storage provisioning scripts that monitor utilization and adjust quotas using vastpy
Metadata extraction workflows that transform file collections into queryable datasets with vastdb_sdk
Multi-pipeline orchestration patterns with resource management and failure handling
Programmatic snapshot policies for systematic dataset versioning and recovery
Event-driven alerting systems that notify stakeholders of data processing milestones
