If you're congratulating yourself on your progress adopting Kubernetes, just consider that the cybercriminals have been poring over it too.
Does your Kubernetes deployment support multiple components and services across multiple nodes, all spawning data, the hijacking of which could bring your operations to a shuddering halt? Great.
Best of all, traditional data protection tools and techniques don't necessarily apply.
Your provider needs not just a theoretical understanding of Kubernetes, but immersion in the whole ecosystem, as well as a grasp of the DevOps workflows associated with K8s. And, long before they worked out the fine details of Kubernetes, cybercriminals worked out that the best way to cripple a firm is to target their backups first.
You'll also get a boost in your understanding of Kubernetes and a $25 Amazon Gift Card.
Wherever Kubernetes is on your to-do list - and it's going to be there someday - make sure your data protection policy is ahead of the game, and the opposition.
