Catalogic Software, a developer of innovative data
protection solutions, today announced the introduction of its Catalogic open
source utility, KubeDR, built to provide backup and disaster recovery for
Kubernetes cluster configuration, certificates and metadata. Kubernetes is the
fastest growing and most popular platform for managing containerized workloads
in hybrid cloud environments. Catalogic is also launching
cLabs to support new products, open source initiatives and
innovations, such as KubeDR.
Kubernetes stores cluster data in etcd, an interface that collects configuration data for
distributed systems. While there are solutions focused on protecting persistent
volumes, the cluster configuration data is often forgotten in existing industry
solutions. There is a market need to provide the specific requirements of
backup and support for Kubernetes cluster data stored in etcd. Catalogic's new
KubeDR is a user-friendly, secure, scalable and an open source solution for
backup and disaster recovery designed specifically for Kubernetes applications.
Additional KubeDR features include:
- Backup
cluster data in etcd to any S3 compatible storage
- Pause
and resume backups
- Clean
up older snapshots (based on retention setting)
- Restore
etcd snapshot and certificates
"Kubernetes has evolved into the de facto standard for deploying
applications at scale, especially in the world of cloud and cluster computing.
In response to market demand and to give back to the open source community,
here at Catalogic, we are introducing KubeDR - a backup and disaster recovery
solution specifically for etcd data in a Kubernetes cluster," said Sathya
Sankaran, COO of Catalogic Software. "We are debuting KubeDR together with
Catalogic Labs, cLabs, created to support our ongoing open source initiatives
and other backup/DR innovations. It's an exciting time at Catalogic, with
product growth and several enhancements on the horizon."
KubeDR, the initial entry in the Catalogic Labs, provides backup and DR for
etcd and certificates enabling seamless and efficient cluster rebuilds,
on-premises or in the cloud. Find out more about KubeDR at https://catalogicsoftware.com/clabs
