The Kubernetes world has exploded!  Its all you hear about now, Kubernetes, Kubernetes, Kubernetes!  VMware acquired Heptio, launched Project Pacific (see Anthony Spiteri’s blog), NetApp announced Application Lifecycle Management for Kubernetes, AWS has EKS, Azure has AKS, Google Cloud Platform has GKE (they invented the thing!) everyone is announcing something somewhere.  As this demand grows, the need for backing up and protecting these workloads is ever increasing.  More and more Kubernetes workloads are becoming stateful, in-fact I wrote a blog article during my day job about just this – Stateful containers in production, is this a thing?  Recently I came across a great company called Kasten.  They offer native integration with Kubernetes to backup and restore any Kubernetes workloads.  They have some really cool features including cross platform migrations.  I thought it would be great to dig into this and take a look: First, let’s take a look at the […]

A look inside iland Cloud
