Relational Database Service ( AWS RDS ), can be connected to applications which are running within Kubernetes . This changes the way of the data protection . The Veeam Cloud Protection Trends Report 2021 shows that we are in a transition , because 46 % of SaaS and PaaS admins said that their information from stateful application is being saved separately , while 32 % of the IaaS admins said that their container architecture has been built for long lifetime and therefore they need no backup . On the other hand , 14 % of backup administrators do not have a backup solution for containers yet , but are searching .
Over the last 15 years , the focus has been on protecting data in virtualised environments , but container environments are not virtual machines . Backup works differently . At the same time , the administrator is busy with the applications and their platforms , taking on a kind of DevOps role . This is where specialised solutions for data management , data backup and recovery come into play , such as those already offered by Kasten by
For most entrepreneurs , the question is no longer if they should use containers and orchestration tools , but which one , because the advantages of this new technology are now easily seen .
Veeam , which are designed to deal with Kubernetes and container environments of all kinds , including Docker . It is important to consider the specifics of these new types of environments , such as the ephemeral nature of many containers and their microfunctions , or the integration into cloud , multi-cloud , or hybrid IT infrastructures .
Kubernetes on the rise ?
The analysts at ESG published a report in September 2020 titled Data Protection Trends and Strategies for Containers , which summarises the results of a survey of 334 enterprise IT professionals from the US and Canada . When asked about their use of containers , 67 % said they use them for production-related applications . This statement underscores the increasing adoption and integration of containers into systems and networks , and this trend will continue over the next two years . VMware ’ s report , The state of Kubernetes 2021 , looks similar : 65 % of the participants already use Kubernetes within their production . In the year 2020 , only 59 % said so . A large proportion ( 98 %) also said that they are seeing great advantages in the implementation of Kubernetes . Of course , finding trained personnel is the big issue now for those companies .
With the rise of containers , Kubernetes will then also increasingly enter the scene to manage the new environment well . Kubernetes will probably start this triumphant march with startups and large corporations first , because the former can build their networks and accordingly incorporate the new technology immediately , while the latter have the necessary money and personnel to successfully incorporate the new technology . What the GigaOM Radar for Kubernetes Data Protection study highlights is that some management solutions , like Kasten by Veeam K10 , already exist to ensure the protection of Kubernetes infrastructure from the very beginning of its incorporation . Furthermore , they can also orchestrate virtual machines and cloud workloads . So , for most entrepreneurs , the question is no longer if they should use containers and orchestration tools , but which one , because the advantages of this new technology are now easily seen . •
