Safeguard your containerized workloads using AKS backup | Azure Friday

What if it all is written as code? Do we still need this backup feature?

Hey there, and thanks for asking! We address that precise question in the episode. In brief: Yes, maintaining a backup for AKS remains wise, even when everything is coded. Why you may ask? Because there could arise situations where restoring specific k8s objects becomes necessary, and if you're employing GitOps, it's crucial to back up elements such as secrets and the GitOps setup as well. Feel free to watch back the episode again for more details! 🙂

@@MicrosoftAzure This makes zero sense, as when everything is "coded" you are deploying the same objects. We have zero need for this product, but I am sure someone out there needs it. Whoever it is probably has bigger problems to solve though.

Seatbelt + airbag analogy is great 😆 Is the backup center or business continuity center the best way to see the current status overall? What's the best single pane of glass view?

What happens when I remote control the car instead, so if the car crashes I just start the next RC. Why would I need airbags then ? :D
