Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/DataStax/everyday-im-scaling-cassandra-ben-bromhead-instaclustr-c-summit-2016 | This presentation will show how create truly elastic Cassandra deployments on AWS allowing you to scale and shrink your large Cassandra deployments multiple times a day. Leveraging a combination of EBS backed disks, JBOD, token pinning and our previous work on bootstrapping from backups you will be able to dramatically reduce costs per cluster by scaling to match your daily workloads.
