NetApp announced the general availability of NetApp Astra, a fully managed application-aware data management service built for Kubernetes workloads.

NetApp Astra allows organizations to protect, recover, and move applications deployed on Kubernetes with no software to download, install, manage, or upgrade, thus enabling them to focus on developing and scaling their applications-not on managing infrastructure.

"Backup, cloning, disaster recovery, data lifecycle operations, data optimization, compliance, and security are all critical to any organization," said Eric Han vice president, product management, Public Cloud Services at NetApp.

"I applaud NetApp's goal of providing application-aware data management for Kubernetes," said Rushi NS, Chief Architect, SAP. "Astra will make it dramatically easier to manage, protect, and move data-rich Kubernetes workloads across public clouds and on-premises. I look forward to collaborating with NetApp as they continue to develop Astra."

If the data is accidentally deleted or corrupted, the applications and associated data can be reverted to a previously recorded snapshot in the same Kubernetes cluster.

The backup can be used to restore the application with its data to a different Kubernetes cluster in the same or a different region to address data recovery use cases.
