CloudCasa

What CloudCasa is
CloudCasa is a data protection and recovery solution for Kubernetes, cloud databases, cloud-native applications, and Kubernetes-native virtualization. It backs up Kubernetes persistent data and resources, including cluster and cloud configurations, and supports restoration or migration across clusters, accounts, regions, and clouds. It also handles backup and restore for KubeVirt virtual machines, including file-level recovery. Native integrations include AWS EKS and RDS, Microsoft Azure AKS, and Google Cloud GKE. Teams can use the managed SaaS service or deploy it themselves on-premises, in cloud environments, or at the edge. Central management covers configuration, scheduling, retention policies, storage destinations, and jobs. Backup data is encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256; stored objects are isolated between users, and role-based access is customizable. The free plan supports up to five nodes, 30-day retention, and three users per organization, with community support. Pro costs $69/node/month billed annually and includes a 60-day trial. Enterprise pricing is custom.
