Would your team benefit from a simple and easy to use Kubernetes backup service that does all the hard work for you to backup and protect your multi-cloud, multi-cluster, applications and cloud native databases? A cloud-based service so easy to use that even developers won’t mind managing backups?

As a developer of copy data management and data protection products for 20+ years, Catalogic Software has considerable experience in securing and protecting our customers’ data. For our new CloudCasa backup service for Kubernetes and cloud native databases, security is built into every step of the service using a modern DevSecOps approach. In addition, we are adding new capabilities to meet specific enterprise security and data custodian and governance requirements.

We discussed in previous blogs the need for data protection for Kubernetes and what’s different about CloudCasa. CloudCasa was designed to address the gap in data protection and disaster recovery that exists in all the leading Kubernetes distributions and managed cloud services. Further, another pain point that CloudCasa addresses is that your cloud-based applications may well be hybrid and multi-cloud applications that use both container-based storage and serverless databases.

In part 1 of this blog series on data protection for Kubernetes and cloud native applications, we addressed the need for Data Protection for Containerized Applications. Given that the leading Kubernetes distributions and managed cloud services do not include native capabilities for data protection and disaster recovery, service providers and enterprises need additional data management tools such as CloudCasa to provide these.

Software containers are at the heart of cloud-native business transformation initiatives. Containers are a natural evolution from virtual machines to a more granular and portable application environment in clouds. They are designed to support rapid development and deployment of cloud-native applications in what is called a DevOps model, a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations.

In part 1 of this blog series on Kubernetes and cloud native application data protection, we addressed The need for Data Protection for Containerized Applications. In part 2 of this blog series, we go through.

It has been slightly more than a month since Catalogic released KubeDR. Since then, we have been busy adding features and making improvements to the project inspired by all the feedback we’ve received from the community. We are very excited to share all the changes that went into KubeDR since its release on January 15. In the first release, we only supported a disaster recovery scenario restore by using a separate Python utility.
