An application path to production does not end with a deployment, even if you are using Kubernetes (K8s) as your application deployment platform. Reliable BCDR (backup and disaster recovery) plan and framework is a must for any production-ready system. This presentation accompanies meetups and webinars in which Oleg Chunikhin, CTO at Kublr, shows how Velero BCDR framework works and demonstrates how it can be used to backup and recover realistic applications running on Kubernetes in different clouds and environments. What is covered: - 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
