MinIO on vSphere - Automated Deployment and Onboarding

In the world of Kubernetes, reliable S3-compliant object storage is essential for tasks like storing backups. However, not everyone has access to a native S3-compatible solution, and setting one up can feel like a daunting task. MinIO, an open-source object storage solution, is a popular choice to fill this gap. Its lightweight, high-performance architecture makes it an excellent option for Kubernetes users seeking quick and reliable storage.

MinIO is also one of the most widely adopted open-source object storage solutions, thanks to its simplicity and S3 compatibility. It’s perfect for Kubernetes environments that need a reliable and scalable storage layer for backups, logs, or other data.

Kubernetes Data Protection: Getting Started with Kasten (K10)

In a recent Kubernetes project I was involved in, our team had to conduct an in-depth proof of concept for several Kubernetes data protection solutions. The main highlights of the PoC covered data protection for stateful applications and databases, disaster recovery, and application mobility, including relocating applications across Kubernetes clusters and even different types of Kubernetes clusters (for example, from TKG on-premise to AWS EKS, etc.).

One of the solutions we evaluated was Kasten (K10), a data management platform for Kubernetes, which is now a part of Veeam. The implementation of Kasten was one of the smoothest we have ever experienced in terms of ease of use, stability, and general clarity around getting things done, as everything is very well documented, which certainly cannot be taken for granted these days. :)
