GitOps

In the last post we covered the fundamentals at a very high level on why you should be considering adding a backup action into your GitOps workflows, we also deployed ArgoCD into our Kubernetes cluster. In this post we are going to walkthrough a scenario on why and how having that backupaction within in your process ensures that when mistakes happen (and they will) your data is protected and can be recovered easily. This walkthrough assumes that you have Kasten K10 deployed within your Kubernetes Cluster to perform these steps. More details on this can be found at https://docs.kasten.io/latest/index.html This is a very simple exampleRead More →

Last week at the Kasten booth at KubeCon 2021 EU I gave a 30-minute session on “Incorporating data management into your continuous deployment workflows and GitOps model” the TLDR was that with Kasten K10 we can use BackupActions and hooks from your favourite CD tool to make sure that with any configuration change you are also going to take a backup of your configuration before the change but most importantly the data will also be grabbed. This will become more apparent and more useful when you are leveraging ConfgMaps to interact with data that is being consumed and added by an external group of peopleRead More →
