Kubernetes Data Protection WG Intro & Deep Dive

Explore the Kubernetes Data Protection Working Group's mission and progress in this comprehensive conference talk. Dive into the current state of data protection in Kubernetes and its future direction. Learn about missing functionalities, collaborative efforts across multiple Special Interest Groups (SIGs), and the design of features enabling robust data protection. Discover common use cases, existing building blocks, and missing components in Kubernetes backup and restore workflows. Gain insights into advanced concepts such as Change Block Tracking (CBT), Container Storage Interface (COSI), and consistent group snapshots. Understand the importance of quiesce and unquiesce hooks, ContainerNotifier KEP, and application-level backup and restore processes. Find out how to get involved and contribute to this crucial effort in enhancing Kubernetes' data protection capabilities.
