According to a 2019 survey conducted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), 78% of the respondents said they were using Kubernetes in some form, and 95% report they are using, evaluating or planning storage use in Kubernetes. Read more

In this blog we will be sharing some information about Ansible and then diving into how you can use Ansible to deploy Kasten K10 in a desired state either at scale for many Kubernetes clusters or a repeatable way to automate the deployment removing the human error factor, or it could be both.

As Kubernetes applications grow in number and scale in diverse deployment environments, organizations face a shortage of skilled personnel whether it be DevOps or Platform Ops to ensure that critical data management functions like backup, disaster recovery (DR), and application mobility are in place. In other words, organizations need to not only transition to a new, modern cloud-native development technology and workflow, but they require operations at scale without having an army of certified Kubernetes administrators.

The popularity of Microservices is on the rise; companies adopting this model increase by hundreds every day. Microservices are no longer limited to a few services. Read more

As the leading Kubernetes backup and recovery solution, Kasten K10 by Veeam provides the granular identity and access management controls required to secure your K10 environment and easily provide users with the access their roles require. Read more

Since version 4.0.13 (Release Date: 2021-09-28), Kasten by Veeam has supported using the AWS Key Management Service (KMS) to protect Kasten K10 encryption keys. This provides an alternative to the passphrase Passkey, which is used by default to protect the master key and encryption key for encrypting snapshots exported to external locations such as S3 or NFS.

When exporting snapshots to an external location such as an S3 Bucket or NFS file store, you might be concerned about the security of your backups in that location. If the S3 bucket or file storage were to be compromised, would the attacker be able to access sensitive data? The answer to this is easy: no. Read more

Recently, I set out to find an easy way for developers to deploy Kasten K10 and experience the value of the solution, without having to deploy public cloud managed Kubernetes environments or rely on virtual environments. Read more

When running your application in a production environment, you may want to specify which components your application can communicate with as well as which components can communicate with your application. Read more

Persistent Volumes (PVs) and Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) are the underpinnings of Kubernetes persistent storage, especially with respect to the growing collection of stateful workloads being containerized and deployed with Kubernetes. Read more
