Today, containers have increased in popularity. Containers are like virtual machines but have relaxed isolation properties to share the operating system. This container has its own file system, CPU, memory, and process space. Key benefits of containers include agile application creation, continuous development, environmental consistency across development, application-centric management, efficient resource allocation, and resource isolation.
With distributed container deployment, it is necessary to protect the workloads. PowerProtect Data Manger allows protecting the production workloads in Kubernetes (K8s) environments. This capability ensures the data is easy to back up and restore, always available, consistent, and durable in a Kubernetes workload or DR situation.
