Backup & Restore Redis Database on Kubernetes
Kubernetes is becoming a vital aspect of enterprise IT environments as businesses increasingly rely on containerized applications. And a large amount of data is generated by business applications and microservices everyday, which must be protected with a reliable backup and recovery solution.
But the problem is traditional backup and restore solutions were not designed for Kubernetes. If you want to copy a Kubernetes cluster over platforms, you have to face so many difficulties during the process. And when the application grows in size, you need to create a lot of new custom scripts to take snapshots of your pods, services, volumes, configmaps, secrets, and have to continuously maintain those scripts. Stash is a complete Kubernetes native disaster recovery solution for backup and restore Kubernetes workloads, volumes and databases on various public and private clouds.
As we already know, traditional tools are too complex to setup and maintain in a dynamic compute environment like Kubernetes. Stash is a Kubernetes operator that uses restic or Kubernetes CSI Driver VolumeSnapshotter functionality to address these issues. Using Stash, you can backup Kubernetes volumes mounted in workloads, stand-alone volumes and databases. Users may even extend Stash via addons for any custom workload.
