Trilio Insights

This month, Pete Wright welcomes back Rodolfo Casás, who previously introduced us to the OpenShift mindset. This time, Rodolfo dives into the must-have features of Trilio for OpenShift and OpenShift virtualization data protection.

Throughout the conversation, Rodolfo highlights several key features that resonate with customers. He discusses the simplicity and efficiency of the OpenShift console plugin, which allows users to easily manage backups directly from the OpenShift UI. Rodolfo also emphasizes the importance of operator data protection, noting that many customers forget to protect their operators despite their growing significance in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

One of the most stunning features Rodolfo presents is the low recovery time objective (RTO) capability. By pre-staging backups and creating volume snapshots in the destination cluster, Trilio enables customers to recover hundreds of virtual machines in a matter of minutes rather than hours or days. Other notable features include application-level encryption for enhanced security and the ability to protect application container images for seamless disaster recovery and regulatory compliance.

Rodolfo also shares insights on Trilio's integrations with automation tools like Ansible and Advanced Cluster Manager (ACM). These integrations allow customers to deploy and manage their backup strategies at scale, streamlining processes such as data center migrations and disaster recovery testing. While acknowledging the potential for "automation rot," Rodolfo stresses the importance of having a dedicated DevOps team to maintain and update these automations regularly.
