How does Kasten handle application migration between different cloud providers with different storage and networking configurations?

Kasten includes a transformation engine that allows you to define policies for automatically reconfiguring storage classes, persistent volume claims, and networking routes during restore operations. This enables seamless migration between clouds—such as from Azure to AWS—without manual intervention or application downtime.

What deployment options are available for Kasten on Red Hat OpenShift?

Kasten can be deployed via the Red Hat OperatorHub using a certified operator that handles installation and lifecycle management, or through Helm charts for more customized deployments. Both methods support connected and air-gapped environments, with the operator providing automated upgrade management.

TL;DR

Traditional backup solutions cannot properly protect Kubernetes applications due to fundamental platform differences, requiring purpose-built solutions like Veeam Kasten that understand cloud-native architecture and operations.
Veeam Kasten 7.0 delivers enterprise-grade Kubernetes data protection with FIPS 140-3 compliance, ransomware defense through immutable backups, and seamless multi-cloud migration capabilities across hybrid environments.
The live demonstration proves Kasten can migrate applications between OpenShift on Azure and ROSA on AWS with automated transformation policies that handle storage class changes and networking reconfiguration without manual intervention.
OpenShift Virtualization support enables organizations to protect both traditional cloud-native applications and virtual machines with a single solution, addressing the growing market demand for VMware alternatives.
Kasten deploys via Red Hat OperatorHub or Helm charts, supports air-gapped environments, and offers consumption-based licensing through Azure Marketplace with per-worker-node hourly billing for cloud deployments.

Kubernetes Data Protection Challenges

The session opens with critical market context: 74% of organizations mistakenly believe traditional and container-based applications can be backed up the same way, while 85% have experienced ransomware attacks in the past year. Alexandre Ivec-Arnec, Global Manager of Kasten Pre-Sales, addresses the fundamental challenge that Kubernetes platforms require purpose-built data protection solutions distinct from traditional VM backup approaches. The presentation emphasizes that while Kubernetes adoption in production environments is accelerating, many organizations lack the specialized skills needed for effective backup and recovery operations in cloud-native environments. This skills gap is compounded by the fact that backup teams, traditionally responsible for data protection, often have limited Kubernetes expertise.

Multi-Cloud Strategy and OpenShift Focus

The webinar establishes that 97% of businesses require a mix of cloud and on-premise resources, with 50% planning to increase their number of cloud providers. Veeam Kasten positions itself as the solution for managing Kubernetes data protection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, with particular emphasis on Red Hat OpenShift deployments. The demonstration specifically showcases Red Hat OpenShift on AWS (ROSA), highlighting how Kasten enables seamless application migration between different cloud environments while maintaining data integrity. The presentation addresses the growing market interest in OpenShift Virtualization as a VMware alternative, demonstrating Kasten's ability to protect both traditional cloud-native applications and virtual machines running on OpenShift.

Kasten 7.0 Capabilities and Live Migration Demo

The technical demonstration walks through a complete application migration scenario using Veeam Kasten 7.0, the latest major release featuring FIPS 140-3 compliance, Azure Blob immutability support, and enhanced OpenShift integration. The live demo shows backing up a Pacman application with MongoDB from OpenShift on Azure and restoring it to ROSA on AWS, including the use of transformation policies to handle storage class changes and networking reconfiguration. Key features highlighted include the Kasten operator available in Red Hat's OperatorHub, support for OpenShift Virtualization workloads, ImageStream backup capabilities, and the transformation engine that enables seamless cross-cloud migrations. The demonstration proves that Kasten can protect diverse workload types—from stateful applications to virtual machines—with consistent, policy-driven automation across different Kubernetes distributions and cloud providers.

Key Quotes

2:20 "... 74% of organizations are still thinking that traditional and container based applications can be backed up the same way. Obviously, you will see during this presentation that they cannot be backed up the same way, simply because between the platform running virtual machines or bar metal servers and Kubernetes platform running applications, the platform itself is just completely different."
2:43 "... 85% of companies that have experienced at least one ransomware attack in the past year. The thing that is interesting when you start digging into Kubernetes, especially when it comes to talk about Kubernetes environment in production, still a lot of customers right now are at the beginning of the adoption of Kubernetes in production."
4:32 "... 75% of organizations indicate a skills shortage on their Kubernetes backup and recovery chain. This is one of the very difficult topics that we have right now."
6:40 "... 97% of customers on the market agreed their business requires a mix of cloud and on-premise resources. This one is right now really a kind of standard situation that we are seeing on a daily basis."
23:48 "We used to release almost every six months a major version of Kasten. On a regular basis, we release every two weeks a new version of our product because we are capable to provide enhancement, fix bug, fix security issue, add additional features in a very fast way."
24:53 "Since the 7.0 release, Kasten K10 can be deployed in a such type of environment."
25:27 "OpenShift virtualization is simply the way to not only run regular cloud native application on OpenShift, but also virtual machines."
27:43 "The licensing model of Kasten is based on the number of worker nodes that you have in a given cluster. And if you need to leverage the public cloud for the scalability, and if you have a huge spike for a couple of hours in your cluster, you will be capable to pay Kasten just for the few hours based on the number of worker nodes that you will consume."
29:27 "One of the hottest topic right now with OpenShift is the support of OpenShift virtualization. As you can probably see on the market, there is a lot of discussions and topics ongoing about alternatives to VMware, Red Hat OpenShift virtualization is one of them."
51:15 "We can leverage the transformation engine that is available on the Vimkasten platform. And I have created in advanced two specific transform actions. One that is going to change the name of the storage class in the definition of the PVC. And the second one that will let the route that will be restored by Kasten to fetch the proper DNS name from the Rosa cluster on AWS."
