On the second day, we participated in a networking lunch and attended the Cloud Native Day Management Day EU 2020 where Sathya Sankaran, GM of CloudCasa, was invited to participate on a lively panel entitled “Kubernetes, Cyber Attacks and Data – Planning for the Inevitable,” led by Camberley Bates of Evaluator Group.

We also announced that our CloudCasa now provides account integration with Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) bringing a similar level of automation as that provided for Amazon EKS.  We added Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and multi-tenancy support and announced that at the conference, as well.  The premise – CloudCasa is already the most cyber-resilient backup service for Amazon EKS and we’ve extended the same capabilities to Microsoft AKS, as well.

Additionally, we announced a partnership with Clastix to add support for its Capsule offering – an open-source multi-tenancy solution that allows multiple teams to securely share a Kubernetes cluster. Now tenant users can back up and restore only their own resources providing a secure, self-service solution for Kubernetes data protection in a multi-tenant environment.

This may seem like burying the lead, but at the conclusion off the conference, we found out that we were among the vendors awarded the 2022 Intellyx Digital Innovator Award given to “the most disruptive, interesting and enterprise-relevant” vendors according to the analyst firm. Intellyx says that they “get dozens of product pitches daily, and there are so few vendors they can write about or even talk to in a given week, making a win less than 1% of 100, which, as a statistic, is really saying something.”

It was a great way to conclude an important conference for us, where compared to the KubeCon event, we had more than twice the traffic at both our physical and our virtual booths. The CloudCasa $50 pomotion and our e-scooter giveaways were big draws for us, as was our booth messaging declaring that “CloudCasa is your cyber-resilient, backup superpower.”
