An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
If data protection sounds like a fully matured area of concern for IT Ops teams only, Trilio is out to prove that in today’s cloud-native and hybrid IT environments, there’s still a lot room for innovation in saving and reconstituting data at a workload level of granularity across resources in multiple cloud and on-prem instances.
The open source CNCF community purposely leaves elements like statefulness and storage up to interpretation by the development and vendor community, rather than baking such considerations into the next Kubernetes release version. That’s a feature of openness, not a bug, as it lets DevOps teams prioritize the data migration and recovery capabilities that best fit their functional needs.
Since our last coverage of Trilio in 2019, the company added a new management console to its TrilioVault SaaS solution, letting teams declare data migration, backup and DR policies, and following data health status for ephemeral application workloads wherever they may reside or move, whether to K8s clusters and containers in the cloud, or to an on-prem set of VMs.
There’s also a unique aspect of immutability for backup data that may provide an excellent foil to the increased frequency of ransomware erasure cyberattacks we are seeing lately.
In addition to the slick new hexagonal management console, Trilio announced their certification of IBM CloudPaks on the Red Hat Marketplace, adding to its coverage of many popular Kubernetes distribution platforms: certified Amazon EKS, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Rancher Server with RKE, Red Hat OpenShift and upstream Kubernetes.
