We believe that containers and Kubernetes will continue to be instrumental technologies for the creation and operation of cloud-native applications well into the future, and meshing these technologies with strong data management and protection practices needs to play a key role in any critical applications operating in containers.
Below are some of the topics discussed in this paper:
• The ongoing adoption of containers and Kubernetes and the growing trend of stateful
applications being built on containers.
• How Kubernetes impacts day-to-day operations and the challenges it introduces to maintaining
a backup and DR strategy that supports application portability.
• The importance of aligning cloud-native applications with a cloud-native and application-centric
approach to data management.
• The need for common, policy-based protections for critical applications and data.
• The importance of application-awareness in protecting stateful applications.
