Kanister & Kopia - An Open-Source Data Protection Match Made in Heaven (DoK Day EU 2022) // Pavan Navarathna

https://go.dok.community/slack https://dok.community/  From the DoK Day EU 2022 (https://youtu.be/Xi-h4XNd5tE) Cloud-native applications comprise various components, including data services, storage systems, and related Kubernetes objects. Each component requires its own data protection tools, strategy, and domain expertise. A robust solution aligned with business requirements often involves complex workflows. What if there was a way to coordinate the implementation of these workflows while optimizing how backups are moved into storage? During this talk, Pavan will demonstrate how two open-source tools, Kanister and Kopia, work together to optimize backup and recovery for Kubernetes applications. - Kanister allows domain experts to capture application-specific workflows in Blueprints to extend and share. - Kopia uses state-of-the-art encryption algorithms (AES-256 or ChaCha20) and compresses data to save bandwidth and storage. This talk is for anyone interested in running stateful workloads in production on Kubernetes. Attendees will leave armed with a streamlined way to protect Kubernetes applications. Pavan joined Kasten by Veeam in March 2018, where he manages a team of cloud-native engineers developing creative solutions for managing and protecting stateful application data in Kubernetes. Prior to Kasten, he was a part of NetApp’s Cloud Data Services Group, where he worked on the data protection stack for a cloud-integrated backup appliance. Pavan is an active contributor to open-source projects including Kanister, a framework for application-level data management on Kubernetes; and Kopia, a fast and secure backup tool. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Florida.
