Kubernetes-Native Backups: Scaling and Saving Costs with MinIO and Kasten

This webinar covers the critical areas below and shows their importance in implementing a cloud-native backup strategy that will protect your business-critical data:

* Key considerations to protect Kubernetes applications
* Architectural blueprints for cloud-native backups in diverse environments
* How to get started with cloud-native backups in a cost-effective way

AB Periasamy (Co-founder and CEO, MinIO) and Vaibhav Kamra (Co-founder and CTO, Kasten) answer these questions and more in this interactive and demo-driven webinar.

1. Kubernetes-Native Backups: Scaling and Saving Costs with MinIO and Kasten
2. Co-founder and CTO @Kasten Co-founder and CEO @MinIO • Kubernetes-Native Backups • Challenges • MinIO-Kasten Solution • Benefits • Show me • Application Backup, Restore, Portability • Getting started • Q&A Vaibhav Kamra AB Periasamy Agenda
3. KUBERNETES-NATIVE BACKUP Challenges • No VM <-> Application Mapping, • Dynamic Rescheduling • Constant Redeployments • Multi-Tenant Clusters Kubernetes Deployment Patterns • Focus on Applications, Not Infrastructure • Infrastructure-as-Code • Self-Service and Dynamic Provisioning • Greater Accidental Risk DevOps and “Shift Left” • Explosion in Application Components • Dynamic Autoscaling (Clusters and Applications) • Polyglot Persistence Application Scale • Kubernetes-Native API support • Database and NoSQL System Hooks • Cloud-Native Monitoring and Alerting Ecosystem Integration Legacy solutions designed for hypervisors don’t work for Kubernetes application backup
4. NEW APPROACH: FOCUS ON COMPLETE APPLICATION Kubernetes resources and persistent state Automatic and complete application capture Consistent data and application resources capture Namespaced objects + non-namespaced dependencies Perform coordinated operations Proper sequencing of resource and data operations Meaningful applications cannot be restored as-is Applications as the operational unit Abstract underlying infrastructure Seamless support for storage and data services within and across clusters, regions, and clouds Ingress Service Service Account Persistent Volume Registry Database ConfigMap Secret StatefulSet Deployment Pod Pod Persistent VolumeClaim Kubernetes Application

7. Application Blueprint K10 ARCHITECTURE A high-level overview Virtual or Physical Infrastructure Container Orchestration Platform Lift-and- Shift App Cloud Native App Lift-and- Shift App K10-Protected Applications Application Blueprint Cloud Native App 3 1 Uses Kubernetes API to discover applications and underlying components and perform lifecycle operations. Orchestrator APIs 1 Optional agentless application-centric hooks can be invoked by easy-to-use blueprints Application Framework 3 No proprietary storage layer. Minimal integration with infrastructure specific APIs for the following: • Block storage provider - Snapshot functionality, snapshot and block copy • Object/file provider - S3-compatible object store or other file storage like NFS for artifacts Infrastructure APIs 2 2 3
8. Volume Snapshot Portable Conversion App + Volume Rehydration MinIO Object Storage Source Infrastructure (e.g., on-premises) Destination Infrastructure (e.g., a public cloud) App Snapshot KASTEN + MINIO Kubernetes native backup with portability Application-centric backup with resilient storage and freedom of choice
