As more organizations adopt hybrid and edge computing models, the need for robust, unified data protection solutions for Kubernetes clusters has grown. With CloudCasa, your Kubernetes deployments across hybrid environments—whether running on Azure Stack HCI or on-premises (many of them managed by Azure Arc)—are fully protected, ensuring that your data is safe and recoverable, no matter the scenario.
Expanding Kubernetes Protection with CloudCasa and Azure Arc
CloudCasa’s integration with AKS Hybrid extends our comprehensive support for Kubernetes clusters, including those managed by Azure Arc. This integration offers a seamless experience for managing and protecting Kubernetes workloads across edge, on-prem, and cloud environments under a single pane of glass.
For many enterprises deploying AKS on Azure Stack HCI, hybrid solutions require flexibility in handling different types of persistent storage. CloudCasa stands out by offering backup and recovery options tailored to your unique storage setup.
Handling Persistent Volumes with or without CSI Snapshots
One of the challenges faced by hybrid and on-prem Kubernetes deployments is managing persistent storage. CloudCasa natively integrates with Container Storage Interface (CSI) snapshots, ensuring that all your persistent volumes can be captured and protected without interrupting your workloads. However, in environments where CSI snapshots are unavailable, CloudCasa provides a fallback mechanism by capturing and backing up the data directly from the persistent volumes, ensuring consistent protection across all deployment models.
This flexibility makes CloudCasa ideal for edge and hybrid deployments where infrastructure limitations or specific hardware setups may limit CSI snapshot availability. With CloudCasa, regardless of your storage configuration, your data is always safe.
Unified Management and Monitoring Across Environments
CloudCasa’s single pane of glass for Kubernetes data protection ensures that you can manage and monitor backup and recovery operations for all your clusters—whether they are in the cloud, at the edge, or on-prem. With a simple, centralized dashboard, you gain full visibility into your backup jobs, recovery points, and disaster recovery strategies. This is especially useful for enterprises running multiple AKS Hybrid clusters across distributed locations.
Disaster Recovery and Migration for AKS Hybrid
In addition to its backup capabilities, CloudCasa also provides powerful disaster recovery (DR) and migration solutions. Whether you need to restore workloads after a failure or migrate Kubernetes applications between environments, CloudCasa makes it easy to move data between on-prem, edge, and cloud environments.
For AKS on Azure Stack HCI, this means you can confidently deploy hybrid and edge clusters, knowing that you have a trusted solution to recover from any disaster, or even perform seamless migrations from edge to cloud or vice versa.
