TL;DR: Active-active replication lets every node in a cluster accept writes and sync changes to its peers, which keeps writes available during regional outages but adds conflict resolution, replication lag, higher costs, and no protection against corruption or ransomware. It justifies that complexity mainly for five-nines, multi-region, or edge workloads, while read replicas, sharding, or active-passive setups suit most other needs.

TL;DR: Active-active runs every node live so traffic distributes across the pool and failover is near-instant, but it forces you to solve multi-writer conflicts through last-writer-wins, vector clocks, CRDTs, or consensus protocols. Active-passive keeps one authoritative primary with an idle standby, trading seconds to minutes of promotion time for predictable behavior, simpler troubleshooting, and lower cost under steady load.

Your first login to a Red Hat OpenShift cluster can feel like sitting in an unfamiliar cockpit: dozens of menus, two perspectives, and dashboards full of metrics you haven’t learned to read yet. The OpenShift Console pulls all of it into one browser-based interface, so you can see what’s running, fix what’s broken, and deploy what’s next without memorizing a single oc flag command.

Running Kubernetes in production takes real work. Patching control planes, managing upgrades, and keeping clusters highly available pulls engineers away from shipping applications. Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud removes that operational load. IBM runs the platform as a fully managed service, and your team keeps its attention on workloads.

Most teams find the holes in their recovery plans at the worst possible time: a flooded data center, failed storage array, or ransomware note sitting on the same server as the backup catalog. Offsite disaster recovery removes that single point of failure, but only when the copy is truly separated from production by geography, network path, and access control. Distance by itself won’t save you.

Ransomware crews go after backups first. Before any production file gets encrypted, they hunt down your backup catalog, snapshots, and repository credentials. The real question is whether your backups can survive an attacker who is actively trying to destroy them. This guide covers how to protect backups from ransomware with specifics: immutable and WORM storage, the 3-2-1-1-0 rule, air-gapping, network segmentation, encryption, and access controls that hold up under pressure.

My name is Kevin Jackson. I have been working with OpenStack since the first releases in various capacities — as an operator, author, architect, and currently at Trilio, where I assist organisations with cloud backup and recovery strategies. Over the years, I have watched OpenStack mature from an early-stage project into the core infrastructure underpinning demanding private and public clouds across telecoms, financial services, and the public sector.

Kubernetes trusts everything inside the cluster by default. Any pod can reach any other pod, IPs change with every rolling deployment, and one compromised container gives an attacker a path across your entire environment. Kubernetes zero trust replaces that default with a simple rule: Never trust, always verify, regardless of where a request comes from.

On June 3, 2026, the European Commission made a notable shift in technology policy, approving a wide-ranging package of measures designed to strengthen the EU’s digital independence and reduce its reliance on non-European technology across semiconductors, cloud computing, and AI.

Who actually controls your data, your infrastructure, and the software your organization runs on? That question is on the agenda of every CIO and DevOps lead. Digital sovereignty has become a strategic priority, but what does it look like in practice? And why should IT teams care beyond the policy headlines?

A tour of the Trilio for Kubernetes management console on OpenShift, so you know where everything lives before you create your first backup target and backup plan. You will see: Chapters Recorded on Red Hat OpenShift 4.21 with Trilio for Kubernetes 5.4.1.

Before you install Kubernetes backup on OpenShift, check that your cluster can take CSI snapshots. This video checks the OpenShift version, StorageClasses and VolumeSnapshotClasses, and runs the Trilio for Kubernetes preflight check. You will: Best practices covered: check the compatibility matrix before every install and every OpenShift upgrade; run the preflight against every StorageClass you protect, and again when you add one; keep CPU, memory and object-count quotas off the T4K namespace.

Install the Trilio for Kubernetes backup operator on Red Hat OpenShift from the Software Catalog (OperatorHub on earlier versions), with the settings we recommend for production. You will: Best practices covered: run only GA builds in production and stay on the latest maintenance release of your minor version; approve upgrades through change control; keep T4K alone in trilio-system, because Manual approval applies to every operator in the namespace.
|
By Trilio
Deploy Trilio for Kubernetes on Red Hat OpenShift by creating the TrilioVault Manager, the resource that runs T4K, and open the T4K management console. You will: Best practices covered: change T4K only through the TrilioVault Manager and keep its manifest in version control (the operator reverts changes made anywhere else); size the job deadline from measured backup throughput (the default is 12 hours); measure datamover memory on a representative backup before production; reach the console through the HTTPS ingress, never port-forward.

This is an Open Demo Project. Abstract: Red Hat OpenShift provides a unified platform to build, modernize, and deploy applications at scale, enabling both traditional and cloud-native applications to run anywhere. The increased use of cloud-native applications, alongside virtualization, has given rise to the need for cloud-native data protection across varied infrastructure. Trilio brings data protection, backup, recovery and integration into the OpenShift Console out of the box, and seamlessly integrates with Red Hat ACM and Ansible to provide full automation.

Welcome to this short video on using a new feature of Trilio for OpenStack to migrate VMware VMs to OpenStack. In this video, I will demonstrate how we will migrate a couple of CentOS VMs to my Red Hat OpenStack Platform cluster. Trilio for OpenStack integrates into the Horizon experience, and from here we can launch the VMware Migration plugin to create a Migration Plan.

Use the Trilio UI to Restore your OpenShift Virtualization Virtual Machines. In this video we will show you how to restore a previously backed up virtual machine running in OpenShift using Trilio As we are restoring a virtual machine to the same cluster that we backed up earlier, we can use the Trilio User Interface to simply list the deployed virtual machines, and see that the status of the last backup is marked as Available for this virtual machine.

Use the Trilio UI to Backup your OpenShift Virtualization Virtual Machines. In this video we will show you how to backup individual virtual machines from OpenShift using Trilio. First we are going to log in to the Trilio User Interface using our OpenShift credentials. Trilio has a Backup Wizard that allows you to select your individual VMs that you have access to in your cluster. We’ll select this Virtual Machine and click Next.

(With Audio) See how easy it is to protect a newly deployed application into OpenShift using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, followed by an ACM Policy written for Trilio that will auto protect the deployed application (create a backup, according to the policy) In this video we will show you an example of using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (or ACM) and Trilio to automatically back up an application that has just been deployed.

The Broadcom acquisition of VMware has triggered a strategic shift for cloud deployments. Organizations are increasingly concerned about vendor lock-in and potential cost increases, prompting them to explore alternative solutions. This report analyzes the opportunity for migrating workloads from VMware to OpenStack, outlining key decision points and best practices for a successful transition.
