(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.

Before we start, ACM is notifying us that the policy related to this application is in violation - as there is no backup present. But of course, there is no backup present because the application has not been deployed yet.

Let’s deploy our application. We’re using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform here to simply deploy our app to the cluster that ACM is governing.

Once the app has been deployed and running, ACM immediately creates a Trilio backup policy and schedule, and Trilio proceeds to backup the deployed application.

The ACM policy can start the backup because the prerequisite of having an application present has been met.

We can watch the backup in progress by switching to the Trilio Multi-Cluster User Interface.
Each stage of the backup is shown in Trilio.

Now that the backup is near completion, we’ll switch back to ACM in the OpenShift Console and see that the policy has changed from being in violation to no violations – meaning that the ACM policy of ensuring the new application has been automatically backed up by Trilio.
