how to install Veeam Kasten K10

Installing Veeam Kasten K10 on your Kubernetes environment is designed to be straightforward while remaining flexible enough to accommodate diverse cluster topologies. The process begins with preparing your cluster, ensuring you have the necessary access and permissions, and selecting the storage targets and backup policies that align with your data protection strategy. Below is a concise, high-level guide to help you plan and execute a successful Kasten K10 deployment.

• Prepare your Kubernetes cluster: verify version compatibility, cluster health, and administrative access. Ensure you have sufficient CPU, memory, and storage capacity to support the Kasten K10 components as well as your expected backup workloads.
• Install the Kasten K10 platform: deploy the Kasten K10 control plane into your cluster using the official installation method, typically via Helm charts or kubectl manifests, following the latest deployment guide for Enterprise Edition.
• Configure authentication and RBAC: set up role-based access controls and users or service accounts that will manage backup policies, restores, and failover operations, aligning with your security requirements.
• Add and configure storage targets: connect your backup repository(s) such as on-prem object storage, cloud storage, or other supported targets, and define retention policies that meet your recovery objectives.
• Create backup policies and test restores: define application-aware backup schedules, perform dry runs, and execute a test restore to validate object integrity and restore procedures across your Kubernetes namespaces and workloads.

With Kasten K10, you gain a unified, policy-driven approach to data management for Kubernetes applications. The Enterprise Edition brings enhanced capabilities for teams that require advanced automation, centralized policy administration, and robust DR testing. The 1-node deployment is suitable for small-to-medium clusters or for focused environments where a single control point is sufficient to manage backups, restores, and failover activities. The combination of a three-year term and upfront billing simplifies budgeting while ensuring continuity of protection for your containerized workloads. The Basic support package provides essential guidance and access to critical updates, enabling you to operate with confidence as you scale your Kubernetes footprint.
