Is it possible to configure CDR in K8s

Hi @PPC 

This feature is not available. you can configure a schedule to backup and restore as a workaround.

It’s not in roadmap right now.

Hello @PPC 

We cannot directly CDR K8s. You can find a list of supported Filesystems in our documentation below.

Thank you,

@PPC 

Can you contact your Sales Person to raise a CCR.

Best Regards,

Sebastien

@PPC what is the use-case? Did you already looked into Portworx? 

Hello @PPC 

As Sebatien noted, you can contact your Account Team to raise what’s called a CCR. This is a request send to Development to look into having the functionality built into our software. There would be no timeline on when it would be implemented if determined it would be possible to implement, but Development can look into it.

Thank you,

Collin

we are exploring the option in another tool like kasten & Portworx. still we are waiting for the POC. 

Hi @Collin Harper, we have raised this query with Commvault, I was quite surprised to find out that they have not explored on this technology. 

Well I think this draws back to your use-case. The container technology was born in the cloud and data persistency has always been a difficult/complex beast to tackle. Now adding CDR/replication from within a container is something that for example in the public is taken care of by the underlying storage like EFS. It is not for nothing that Portworx also addresses this functionality in the backend and not from within the container as you are also limited with the reach from within the container. Did you find other solution who deliver CDR from a container perspective? 

HI @Onno van den Berg, we are focusing more on application aware backup or application aware replication. other tools are providing the solution K8s CDR or alternate option like post or Pre script [provided by backup vendor] which make job easy to bring the application at DR.

@PPC

I did not find any case/CMR, how did you raise this with us?

Hi All, is that feasible to achieve K8s DR solution  from live sync & aux copy. 

@PPC 

Live Sync no, but you can use Aux Copies or Backup/Restore.

HI @Sebastien Merluzzi , thanks for the update.

how can we restore the application in DR if livesync is not possible. 

I don’t find supported replication for k8s in provided document.
