Cohesity Kubernetes Backup and Recovery protects Kubernetes operational metadata and the persistent state of applications. It uses policy-based, application-tier-specific incremental-forever backups, with scheduled backup frequency and custom retention options. Snapshots can be restored to another on-premises or public-cloud location. The product supports cross-cluster, point-in-time, and granular restores, as well as immutable backups. Cohesity recommends protecting both a cluster’s control plane and the application data running within it. Native Kubernetes integration works with popular container-clustering and orchestration tools. Supported environments include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, on-premises infrastructure, and Cohesity-powered service-provider clouds. Cohesity also says zero-cost clones can make backup data productive for application development without performance impact. Its Helios service uses logically segregated tenants, dedicated tenant repositories, and Zero Trust access controls. Cohesity says Helios encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2 and mTLS and at rest with AES-256. The product is paid, with pricing on request, and a 30-day trial is available for free (30 days). The product is listed for self-hosted and web platforms.
