Kubernetes Data Protection Working Group Deep Dive

Dive into the Kubernetes Data Protection Working Group's efforts in this conference talk from KubeCon. Explore the current state and future direction of data protection in Kubernetes, including key updates on volume mode conversion, volume populator, change block tracking, backup repository, and consistent group snapshots. Learn about the working group's initiatives to identify missing functionalities and collaborate across multiple Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to enhance data protection features. Discover how storage and backup vendors, cloud providers, application developers, and end users can contribute to this effort. Gain insights into the motivations, designs, and statuses of various data protection components, as well as the implementation of quiesce and unquiesce hooks for application-consistent backups. Understand the concept of application snapshots and backups, and find out how to get involved in shaping the future of Kubernetes data protection.
