Can you restore a Kubernetes app from AWS into Google Cloud, including its external database? This talk shows you how.

It's all about the Data
#1about 4 minutes

Data is the common denominator across all platforms

Data management is essential for all workloads, from physical servers and virtual machines to cloud-native Kubernetes environments.

#2about 3 minutes

Key considerations for backup, recovery, and mobility

Effective data management requires planning for backup, recovery, disaster recovery, and leveraging containerization for application mobility.

#3about 4 minutes

Addressing unique data protection challenges in Kubernetes

Protecting Kubernetes applications involves managing RBAC, pipeline integration, performance at scale, and storage agnosticism across different distributions.

#4about 5 minutes

Migrating a stateful application between Kubernetes clusters

A practical demonstration shows how to migrate a stateful application from a local k3s cluster to AWS EKS while transforming the storage class.

#5about 4 minutes

How Kubernetes handles persistent application storage

An overview of Kubernetes storage concepts, including the evolution from in-tree provisioners to the Container Storage Interface (CSI) and config maps.

#6about 6 minutes

Protecting applications with external data services

This demo illustrates how to back up an application with a stateless frontend in Kubernetes and a stateful database running on Amazon RDS.

#7about 3 minutes

Protecting more than just persistent volume data

A complete backup strategy must protect not only the persistent data but also the entire application configuration, including secrets and config maps.

#8about 1 minute

Why an application-centric approach is crucial

Protecting the entire application, not just the data service, provides the freedom to migrate across different Kubernetes distributions and storage providers.

#9about 1 minute

Final thoughts and free Kubernetes learning resources

The session concludes with a summary and a link to free hands-on labs for learning more about data management in Kubernetes.
