Customer Training Webinar: Automating VAST Storage Operations

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. Link to lab: https://github.com/vast-data/cosmos-labs 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 Downloadable code examples and hands-on lab exercises
