Abstract: Your organization, company, or division has embarked on an app modernization and digital transformation journey, resulting in wide adoption of containers and Kubernetes. Some of these applications are stateful and are using persistent storage with valuable data for your company. You are responsible for delivering the same data protection levels, business continuity guarantees (RPO and RTO), disaster readiness, audit, and retention requirements for modern apps that you provide for your traditional applications.

NetApp Astra Control Service is a managed service providing data management for Kubernetes applications running in the public cloud, helping you to achieve those objectives. It’s an agent-less solution that can continuously discover applications in your Kubernetes clusters and allows you to:

Create application-aware and application consistent snapshots and backups
Automate policy-driven snapshot and backup operations
Migrate applications and data from one Kubernetes cluster to another
Easily clone an application from production to staging
Provide disaster recovery for your mission critical workloads

In this talk, we’ll dive into the features of Astra Control Service and demonstrate how easy is to use it.
