Postgres, also known as PostgreSQL, is a powerful open-source relational database that has been around for over 30 years. It has a strong reputation for reliability, scalability, and performance, which is why it is used by a wide range of organizations, from small businesses to large enterprises, across various industries. Whether you need to store and retrieve large amounts of data, run complex queries, or support business-critical applications, Postgres can handle it all.

Velero is an open source tool for backing up and restoring resources in a Kubernetes cluster, performing disaster recovery, and migrating resources and persistent volumes to another Kubernetes cluster. Velero backup helps many organizations protect data stored in persistent volumes and makes your entire Kubernetes cluster more resilient. Velero has been pulled over 50M times from DockerHub! It is the most popular data protection choice for the Kubernetes community.

Velero is an open-source tool that allows you to backup and restore your Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Velero backups support a number of different storage providers including AWS S3. The process of setting up Velero backup with S3 using AWS credentials has been documented by Velero here. However, at the time of this post, there is no official documentation on how to set up Velero using IRSA or IAM Roles for Service Accounts.

In this blog we will guide you step by step through using CloudCasa to backup and restore NoSQL databases such as MongoDB operating in your Kubernetes environment. Before we begin, let’s have some basic understanding of the database under test. NoSQL databases provide a variety of benefits including flexible data models, horizontal scaling, lightning-fast queries, and ease of use for developers.

CloudCasa by Catalogic and Ondat have joined forces to offer customers a combined solution stack to run and manage stateful applications on Kubernetes and provide best-of-breed performance, availability, data protection and recovery. In this episode of TFiR: Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya sits down with the executives of both companies, CloudCasa COO Sathya Sankaran and Ondat CEO Richard Olver, to talk about their partnership.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration tool originally developed by Google for managing microservices or containerized applications across a distributed cluster of nodes. It is widely thought that “Kubernetes is key” to cloud-native application strategies. Kubernetes (K8s) runs over several nodes, and the collection of nodes is called a cluster. K8s clusters allow application developers to orchestrate and monitor containers across multiple physical, virtual, or cloud servers.

Mid-winter is fast approaching, meaning it’s nearly time to start thinking about spring again! But here at Catalogic all we’ve been thinking about lately is adding more features to CloudCasa. We were thrilled to hear that CloudCasa has been named a Kubernetes data protection leader and outperformer in the recently released GigaOm Radar for Kubernetes Data Protection Report, but we have no intention of resting on our laurels!

Most Kubernetes users understand the complexity involved in managing multiple Kubernetes clusters, especially when those clusters are hosted in hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments.

In this episode of 2023 Predictions, Sathya Sankaran, General Manager of CloudCasa by Catalogic, speaks with Swapnil Bhartiya on his insights into where he sees the industry heading in 2023. The pandemic resulted in the acceleration of cloud adoption and digital transformation and Sathya expects this momentum to continue in 2023 as well.
