Use cases
astra-use-cases

  • ic_copy-1

    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.

  • ic_restore-3

    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.

  • ic-settings

    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.

Having managed data rich stateful applications on Kubernetes and knowing the complexity involved, we’re thrilled to have NetApp’s Astra service to simplify operations for small and large deployments alike.

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.
