Why Back Up Kubernetes

Containers Move Fast—Stop
Data Loss Faster

Kubernetes is the backbone of modern infrastructure. But with agility comes risk, requiring resilience from Day 0 to prevent loss. Without purpose-built protection, recovery is complicated. And costly.

FAQs

What is Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes?
Veeam Kasten is a Kubernetes-native data protection platform that simplifies backup, disaster recovery, application mobility, and ransomware protection. Designed for enterprise scalability, it offers an intuitive UI and policy-driven automation to secure modern workloads.
Does Veeam have a fully managed storage option that is Kubernetes compatible?
Veeam Kasten is supported by Veeam Vault, a fully managed, pre-secured cloud storage resource that eliminates the headaches of managing infrastructure and unpredictable cloud cost models. Learn more here.
What storage options are compatible with Veeam Kasten?
Veeam Kasten supports file, block, and object storage with a wide array of vendors across on-premises and cloud environments. It interfaces with storage via Container-Storage Interface (CSI) and offers direct integrations for efficient operations.
What happened to Kasten K10? Was it replaced?
Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes is the new name for Kasten K10. It’s the same leading Kubernetes data protection and application mobility solution, now with a name that reflects its place in the Veeam platform.
Which Kubernetes services and distributions are supported?
Veeam Kasten is integrated with leading Kubernetes distributions, including Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, Red Hat OpenShift, SUSE Rancher, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, and more. It also supports upstream Kubernetes, relational and NoSQL systems, and various managed services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
How is Veeam Kasten installed?
Veeam Kasten runs on your Kubernetes cluster in its own namespace. Installation is streamlined via a single Helm command or through Marketplace integrations with our Kubernetes platform partners. For air-gapped or private networks, Veeam Kasten supports offline installations.
Which interfaces does Veeam Kasten suppport?
Veeam Kasten offers a modern, intuitive GUI, a powerful command-line-interface (CLI), and a cloud-native API. The graphical dashboard provides real-time visibility into application compliance across clusters and full control over data management tasks. Access is role-based, and users can easily switch between the GUI and CLI using reusable command breadcrumbs. And yes, dark mode is supported.
How does Veeam Kasten ensure security?
Security features include end-to-end encyption, immutable backups, granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and support for multi-tenant environments. It also integrates with SIEM systems for real-time threat detection and compliance monitoring.
How does Veeam Kasten’s automatic application discovery work?
Veeam Kasten integrates natively with Kubernetes to automatically detect and catalog all applications running in your cluster—no manual tagging or scripting required. It treats the application as the primary unit of protection, capturing everything from persistent data across volumes and databases to Kubernetes-native objects like ConfigMaps and Secrets. This ensures complete, consistent protection with zero-guesswork.
Does Veeam Kasten support multi-cluster management?
Yes, Veeam Kasten provides a centralized dashboard for managing multiple Kubernetes clusters, allowing for global policy enforcement, real-time status monitoring, and streamlined operations at scale.
Can Veeam Kasten protect virtual machines running on Kubernetes?
Absolutely. Veeam Kasten extends its Kubernetes-native protection to include virtual machines running in or alongside containerized environments, including an integration with Veeam Data Platform - file level recovery for KubeVirt VMs. It also supports a variety of other targets including S3, Azure Blob, Veeam Vault, and NFS. This gives you the same reliable backup, recovery, and application mobility for VMs as you get with containers—helping to secure legacy workloads, reduce complexity, and confidently migrate applications to modern infrastructure.
Do stateless and stateful Kubernetes applications get backed up differently?
Yes—because stateful applications retain critical data that must be protected. Stateless apps can be redeployed without data loss, while stateful applications rely on persistent storage like databases or volumes. Veeam Kasten automatically identifies application components and ensures that stateful data—along with related configurations—are consistently captured and protected, so you don’t have to worry about the nuances.
