Introduction
- kube-backup: Kubernetes resource state sync to git
- Stash If you are running production workloads in Kubernetes, you might want to take backup of your disks, databases etc. Stash is a cloud native data backup and recovery solution for Kubernetes workloads

- k8s-snapshots: Automatic Volume Snapshots on Kubernetes is an operator that creates and expires snapshots according to annotations to your PersistentVolume or PersistentVolumeClaim resources.
- infracloud.io: Protecting Kubernetes applications data using Kanister
- kanister.io 🌟 An extensible open-source framework for application-level data management on Kubernetes. KANISTER allows domain experts to capture application specific data management tasks in blueprints which can be easily shared and extended. The framework takes care of the tedious details around execution on Kubernetes and presents a homogeneous operational experience across applications at scale.

- When using data mobility to improve your CI/CD pipeline, it’s important to consider the data at different layers in your application stack. In many instances, you must perform operations on multiple layers of your application at once, as well as interact with Kubernetes itself. Kasten by Veeam developed Kanister to address these data mobility challenges and enable organizations to test safely with real data.
- Kanister, an open source project, provides a Kubernetes-native framework for application-level data management that supports complex data management workflows. Domain experts can capture application-specific data management tasks in blueprints, which can be easily shared and extended, eliminating many of the tedious details around execution on Kubernetes.
- Kanister is easy to integrate with your CI/CD pipeline, because it uses Kubernetes API extensions called custom resources. You can easily extend Kanister to work with custom applications as well as several common cloud native databases, simplifying and streamlining testing operations while reducing risk.

- martinheinz.dev: Backup-and-Restore of Containers with Kubernetes Checkpointing API Kubernetes v1.25 introduced Container Checkpointing API as an alpha feature. This provides a way to backup-and-restore containers running in Pods, without ever stopping them. This feature is primarily aimed at forensic analysis, but general backup-and-restore is something any Kubernetes user can take advantage of. So, let’s take a look at this brand-new feature and see how we can enable it in our clusters and leverage it for backup-and-restore or forensic analysis.

- blog.palark.com: Kubernetes snapshots: What are they and how to use them? 🌟 With snapshots, you can make more efficient use of your storage solution by creating consistent backups and cloning volumes. In this article, you will find an introduction to snapshots in Kubernetes and an overview of typical use cases.
ETCD Backup

- slideshare.net: Migrating Java JBoss EAP Applications to Kubernetes With S2I
- Despite the incredible pace of adoption of container orchestration platforms, the vast majority of EAP workloads are still running on VMs or bare metal. In a lot of cases enterprise operation teams are mandated to modernize and move these workloads to the cloud, and containerization and migration to Kubernetes is the natural destination. When talking about this migration path, we’re often asked questions like:
- What’s involved?
- How easy is it to move these workloads?
- How can you be sure of no code changes?
- What tools are there to assist with this effort?
- What are the benefits of moving workloads to Kubernetes?
- In this meetup, Philip Hayes, Runtimes Practice Lead at Red Hat, will provide answers to these questions and also include a step-by-step guide to migrating an EAP 7 application to Kubernetes.
