Self-service data protection for stateful containers

View publication

Abstract

Data protection in containerized environments poses several challenges arising from the need for self-service and the resulting churn in the environment. We present a self-managing backup system for containerized frameworks designed to work for users with little knowledge of the underlying infrastructure. Our system presents users with an interface which allows them to interact with data protection service in the same way used for managing their applications. Additionally, we present a backup scheduler to honor user expressed data protection guarantees while reacting to resource fluctuations on the underlying shared infrastructure. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our system with thousands of request having different data protection guarantees in an environment with various bandwidth and IO patterns.
