From YouTube: Enterprise Data Protection for OpenShift Applications - Michael Ferranti (Portworx)

Description

In the pre-OpenShift world, backup and disaster recovery solutions were generally implemented at the virtual machine (VM) level. This system works for traditional applications when an application runs on a single VM, but when applications are containerized and managed via OpenShift, this system falls apart. Because of this, effective backup and disaster recovery solutions for OpenShift must be designed for containerized architectures and natively understand the way OpenShift functions in order to work.

In this OpenShift Commons briefing, we will:

– Explain key backup and disaster recovery concepts including zero recovery point objective (RPO) and near-zero recovery time objective (RTO) and how they apply to OpenShift
– Explain why backing up entire applications, including application configuration and data, is critical to data protection on OpenShift
– Discuss how an effective Backup and Disaster Recovery program includes data protection and availability within a cluster, between clusters, and between clouds depending on the use case
– Demonstrate real-world solution for OpenShift DR using Portworx the Kubernetes Storage Platform
