Bret and Matt welcome Michael Cade, the field CTO at Kasten by Veeam. If you've been around servers for a while, you probably have heard of Veeam. It made its debut back in the late 2000's when virtual machines and implementations of VMs were big. I first found out about them back in those days, because it was a great free product for small virtual machine environments and data centers. They've made tons of additional backup and recovery products over those years, and now they have Kasten K10, which is a Kubernetes backup and restore/recovery product. Michael discussed with us the origins of K10 and some of the major features. We get into some demos, which you can check out in the original YouTube live show. Live recording of the complete show from June 1, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #219). Includes demos. ★Topics★Kasten K10 websiteK10 free for 5 nodesKanisterKasten K10 Walkthough Project on GitHubKasten K10 install configKastenByVeeam YouTube channel Support this show and get exclusive benefits on Patreon, YouTube, or bretfisher.com! ★Join my Community★Get on the waitlist for my next live course on CI automation and gitops deploymentsBest coupons for my Docker and Kubernetes coursesChat with us and fellow students on our Discord Server DevOps FansGrab some merch at Bret's Loot Box Homepage bretfisher.com Creators & Guests Bret Fisher - Host Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Matt Williams - Host Michael Cade - Guest (00:00) - Intro (02:23) - Introducing Michael Cade (03:30) - Veeam: then and now (07:38) - How Kasten came to be (14:11) - Complexity and Recovery (19:04) - Backup litmus test (23:02) - Demo (24:26) - Navig8: an open source visualizer for Helm Chart (28:44) - Kanister: an open source project for data management on Kubernetes (31:39) - Incremental backups (36:44) - Label-based backup policies (41:39) - Location profiles (43:56) - Infrastructure profiles (49:52) - Integrate your backup into you GitOps pipeline (51:43) - What about security?
