What is Kubernetes-native backup and does one need backup with Kubernetes? Will Kubernetes environments stay stateless forever? Why doesn’t the legacy VM-backup system work with containers? This talk gets to the bottom of these questions and more! In particular, we will cover seven critical considerations for Kubernetes-native backup and show their importance in implementing a cloud-native backup strategy that will protect your business-critical data in a developer-focused platform: - Kubernetes Deployment Patterns - DevOps and "Shift Left" - Kubernetes Operator Challenges - Application Scale - Protection Gaps - Security - Ecosystem Integration

We will also cover the pitfalls of trying to retrofit legacy backup architectures into a cloud-native ecosystem but, more importantly, focus on the benefits of deploying a truly cloud-native backup solution.
