FEATURE
Opting for non-native solutions from legacy backup and disaster recovery providers will only add time , resources and barriers to application development and delivery . Selecting the right data protection solution makes a substantial difference in an organisation ’ s agility . Using a native solution , however , can help drive a ‘ data protection as code ’ strategy .
This means data protection and disaster recovery operations are integrated into the application development life cycle from the start and applications are born protected . As a result , organisations using this approach will be able to ensure the resilience of their applications without sacrificing the agility , speed and scale of containerised applications .
Looking to the future
Infrastructure and operations teams should look for a platform that delivers the necessary availability and resilience without sacrificing the development speed of enterprise applications and services . This means being able to protect , recover and move their containers without adding more steps , tools and policies to the DevOps workload .
ORGANISATIONS THAT CAN
EASILY PROTECT , RECOVER AND
MOVE ANY KUBERNETES APPLICATION
AND ITS PERSISTENT
DATA ARE WELL PLACED TO
DELIVER ON THE ADVANTAGES
OFFERED BY CONTAINERS .
Containers open a world of agile development possibilities and are here to stay . But delivering data protection , disaster recovery and mobility for Kubernetes applications , whether onpremises or in the cloud are key parts of the jigsaw . Those organisations that can easily protect , recover and move any Kubernetes application and its persistent data are well placed to deliver on the advantages offered by containers as part of their wider technology strategy . ◊
