Use cases

  • Data protection with snapshots
    With Astra you can take application-aware snapshots for local data protection. If you accidentally delete or corrupt your data, you can revert your applications and associated data to a previously recorded snapshot within the same Kubernetes cluster.
  • Disaster recovery with remote backup
    With Astra you can take a full application-aware backup of your application and state which can be used to restore your application with its data to a different Kubernetes cluster in the same or a different region addressing your DR use-cases.
  • Application portability for cloud bursting and migration with instant active clones
    With Astra you can move an entire application along with its data from one Kubernetes cluster to another, no matter where the clusters are located.
  • Build business-critical Kubernetes applications 
    With Astra you can support any containerized workload  with the full set of enterprise data management services and tools you are used to
  • Build application as a service platforms for DevOps
    With Astra you can create elastic, software-defined, self-serve platforms that deliver automated, repeatable services which removes complexity from developers.

I applaud NetApp’s goal of providing application-aware data management for Kubernetes.  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.
