This is a complete Disaster(-recovery) – Protecting Kubernetes from Fail - Benjamin Ritter

Disaster Recovery and continuity of operation is an important topic when talking about any infrastructure. But there are lots of topics that are still stuck in the ages of VMs, dedicated DB teams, and tape storage. A core part of any Kubernetes deployment is arguably GitOps to leverage the declarative resource model provided by K8s to speed up recovery from failure, be it big or small. We will talk about the benefits using GitOps brings and what is required to use it to its power to the fullest. We will go over how Storage works in cloud-native infrastructure, which storage provider options are out there, and how to select the right one for your environment and use case. Another topic we will talk about is backups and disaster recovery, which will be covered by explaining how CSI Snapshots work, why they do not replace backups, and how to make your backups cloud-native and their storage ransomware-proof. There are also Storage patterns, like S3-style Object Storage and Databases. I will give you some inspiration on how and where to integrate them into your applications and how they can improve reliability and security. Finally, when running autonomous systems there are some secrets and credentials involved when talking to external systems. I will show you some patterns to avoid increasing your blast radius while preserving functionality. #cloudsecurity #containersecurity #cloud #kubernetes #cloudcomputing #cloudnative #k8s #devops #gitops #edgecomputing #multicloud #microservicesarchitecture #docker #tech #saas #opensource #opensourcecommunity #devsecops #kubevirt #containerdays #techconference
