I had a wonderful opportunity to present a keynote at this past week’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021 in Los Angeles. I used that time to discuss some of the challenges new Cloud Native users face and what we, as Kasten by Veeam, are doing to help.

Kubernetes is without a doubt the de facto platform for running both stateless and stateful applications in the cloud. Enterprises are becoming increasingly reliant on its ecosystem for business operations — cloud, development and IT operations teams must keep up with the rate of innovation happening on the platform.

Kubernetes adoption has grown rapidly. Some industry reports note that 90% of organizations surveyed are using Kubernetes in some fashion. However, a lack of Kubernetes training continues to be one of the major challenges to broad adoption. To meet the demand for effective training at all levels, Kasten is offering extensive training opportunities for the most in-demand Kubernetes skills, based on practical, real-world use cases and experience.

We've created an open community forum where we can discuss all things Kubernetes, Data Management, Kasten K10 by Veeam, and all DevOps topics in one place where anyone can contribute, learn, or share. You will see why we decided on this route vs the what seems to be the defacto now to create a discord or slack channel at the end of the post.

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) in application development is an approach that enables developers to make code changes rapidly and reliably, accelerating development lifecycles and getting new applications to market faster. But the underlying assumption is that developers can test on data at different stages of the pipeline. Herein lies the rub: Historically, fear and risk have prevented development teams from integrating production databases into the development process. Why are they afraid? There are three valid reasons:

While ransomware attacks have had a huge impact on traditional applications for years, Kubernetes environments are also at risk. As the number and magnitude of Kubernetes applications increase, so do malicious attacks on those applications.

When the piano was invented, musicians noticed that it had become much easier to produce a sound with the instrument. But pianists were expected to play many more sounds than a classic instrument. Complexity was just moving to another place. Kubernetes makes application deployment easier, yet application features require an increasing number of components and requirements. A good example of this is the IBM blockchain network, in which the trust on the transaction can be distributed between organizations.

This week we wrapped up the last fully virtual VeeamON event (hopefully) and announced that next year’s event will be heading to Las Vegas. I think it is very likely the event will become a hybrid one, to enable the growing demand in this space and to view the news and product updates.

In this three-part series, I will explain how to use Kubernetes (K8s) and Terraform (TF) together to set up a Kubernetes cluster, manage applications and install Kasten. We will of course keep data management best practices in mind for every step. Installing Kasten in the cluster is also a great example of how Terraform can be used when managing cloud resources outside the cluster.
