Multi-cloud BCDR on Kubernetes with Velero using Strimzi, Kafka and ArgoCD as an example

Kubernetes (K8s) provides a powerful, flexible and portable open source framework for containerized applications delivery and management. At the same time an application path to production does not end with a deployment. Reliable BCDR (backup and disaster recovery) plan and framework is a must for any production-ready system.

In this meetup, Oleg, CTO at Kublr, will show how Velero BCDR framework works and demonstrate how it can be used to backup and recover realistic applications running on Kubernetes in different clouds and environments.

We will cover:

• general notions of Kubernetes applications BCDR
• Velero BCDR framework
• demo Velero BCDR for stateful applications running on AWS and Azure clouds
• demo Velero BCDR using Strimzi / Kafka cluster and ArgoCD CI/CD manager as example application
