Encrypt your Kubernetes Backups using Server Side Encryption
As Kubernetes adoption grows rapidly in enterprises, protecting cluster data is critical. Backups ensure business continuity in case of failures, accidental deletions, or security breaches. For over 2 years, users have depended on the integrated backup/restore capability in the Rafay Platform to dramatically simplify Kubernetes backup and restore operations. When the backups artifacts are stored in public cloud environments, organizations may have a concern with security. One of the most effective ways to secure these backups is by using Server-Side Encryption (SSE). SSE encrypts data at rest within cloud storage services, protecting it from unauthorized access while minimizing operational overhead.
In this blog, I describe the value of SSE encryption for Kubernetes backups and how it enhances security and compliance. I will also describe how administrators can configure and use SSE for backups in the Rafay Platform.
