The microservices architecture is more than just stateless web apps. Large databases, online analytic pipelines, and sophisticated AI analytics systems now regularly execute in containers. This monumental change in architecture poses an interesting challenge, though: Kubernetes data protection. The need to distribute infrastructure, shift seamlessly between on-premises private data centers and public cloud hyperscalers, such as AWS and Azure, has created a key challenge for IT operations: managing and securing the data lifecycle. When applied to ephemeral and orchestrated environments, traditional backup technologies are incapable of providing protection. This updated guide delves into the fundamental issues of stateful container backup in 2026 and proposes a blueprint for absolute security of cloud infrastructure. Why Kubern...
