In the last few years, Kubernetes has been adopted by a significant number of enterprises as their default container orchestration tool. Most enterprises are now comfortable with running applications and services in the cloud. While the cloud provides flexibility and agility, organizations must not lose sight of the fact that protecting and backing up the entire customer infrastructure blueprint and containerized application deployment is still the customer’s responsibility.

Offering cloud-native disaster recovery “as a service” is a modern approach to traditional DR that is low-cost and on-demand. It is optimized to make the best use of cloud resources for business continuity, scalability, and application mobility in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Challenges enterprises face while adopting a DR strategy for cloud-native workloads

Given that most Kubernetes workloads are spread across public, private, and hybrid cloud infrastructures, backing up and protecting these deployments is often customized, expensive as well as a complex process, and prone to misconfigurations.

Most DR solutions today are complex, expensive, and lack flexibility. Customers often require multiple tools, custom scripts, and specialized DevOps experts to set up and manage the Disaster Recovery (DR) process. The more tools and custom scripts you need to set up DR, the tighter the recovery point objectives and the higher the costs. Moreover, It becomes difficult to keep backups in sync as different tools are utilized and also hard to manage multiple backups for multiple environments.
