With 2020 being all-around awful and a pandemic raging in most of the world, all the trade shows have been trying out the virtual thing with varying levels of success. KubeCon 2020 has suffered the same fate, and like other virtual shows, this one feels a bit subdued as well. Not surprising considering the interruption of the supply chain and the workforce, pretty much everywhere. However, many companies were able to make announcements around Kubernetes including Dynatrace, Diamanti, Zerto, Commvault, Metallic, Trillio, NetApp, and Red Hat.
With 2020 being all-around awful and a pandemic raging in most of the world, all the trade shows have been trying out the virtual thing with varying levels of success. KubeCon 2020 has suffered the same fate, and like other virtual shows, this one feels a bit subdued as well. Not surprising considering the interruption of the supply chain and the workforce, pretty much everywhere. However, many companies were able to make announcements around Kubernetes including Dynatrace, Diamanti, Zerto, Commvault, Metallic, Trillio, NetApp, and Red Hat.
Dynatrace announced the fourth generation of its distributed tracing and code-level analysis technology, PurePath. The latest version is set to capture and analyze transactions end-to-end across multi-cloud environments and at near-zero overhead. The big announcement at KubeCon is the company extending the technology to automatically support OpenTelemetry and W3C Trace Context as well as advanced cloud-native architectures, including service mesh, and serverless computing for Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. The new technology extension will be available to all customers over the next 90 days.
Diamanti announced that it now supports AWS with its Diamanti Spektra 3.1 and Ultima data plane services. This announcement of support expands Diamanti’s reach as well as easing the transition of container-based architectures to the hybrid cloud. On top of the added support, the company also announced Diamanti Central, a new customer portal that provides access to tools, documentation, and customer support. Potential customers can register for upcoming free trials of Diamanti Spektra and Ultima.
Zerto announced that it is extending its platform to include Kubernetes with the beta release of Zerto For Kubernetes, Z4K. Z4K takes aspects of the Zerto Platform, always-on replication for backup, disaster recovery (DR), and mobility capabilities, and applies them to Kubernetes. The company is running a hands-on lab with the Z4K beta code so anyone can access it right now.
For more data protection news for Kubernetes at KubeCon 2020, Commvault announced its Metallic BaaS for Kubernetes. This new service is said to protect containers while fully integrating with K8s via the Container Storage Interface (CSI). Additionally, this BaaS is all about simplicity with the ability to backup and protect cloud, container, and virtual workloads all in one and supports Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes, Azure Red Hat OpenShift, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and VMware Tanzu. Metallic BaaS for Kubernetes doubles Commvault’s portfolio of BaaS solutions.
It seems that data protection for Kubernetes is popular this year at KubeCon, with the third data protection announcement being Trillo releasing TrilioVault for Kubernetes v2.0. New enhancements include:
The final story and data protection story for this year is the collaboration of NetApp and Red Hat to bring application data management for OpenShift and Project Astra customers. Key benefits include:
