Kubernetes Backup Legitimized: CSI Changed Block Tracking Has Arrived - Mark Lavi, Carl Braganza & Prasad Ghangal, Veeam; Xing Yang, VMware by Broadcom
Wednesday April 2, 2025 17:00 - 17:30 BST
Level 1 | Hall Entrance S10 | Room D
Kubernetes storage is compared to traditional facilities for backup, disaster recovery, cyber-resilience against ransomware, and audit compliance. To meet the fastest recovery point operation and return to production objectives, one critical area has been missing: Changed Block Tracking (CBT). Since 2018, Kubernetes has deprecated "in-tree" storage drivers in favor of Container Storage Interface (CSI) specification for industry wide collaboration and standardization. CBT radically improves backup efficiency and to meet business needs, proprietary storage drivers were required. For over two years, the Kubernetes Data Protection Working Group has worked to bring CBT to the CSI specification and Kubernetes API. Join us to learn how cloud native storage backup and disaster recovery can finally compete with traditional infrastructure, progress made with storage and backup vendors and projects, and the architecture, security, testing, and scalability of Kubernetes CSI CBT.
