Robin Storage: Advanced Data Management for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) | Solution Brief

Use the preferred storage for GKE to run mission-critical stateful applications on your Kubernetes. Bring advanced data management to Kubernetes-native frameworks including HELM and Operators.

The Need For Data Management

Stateful applications such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Elastic Stack, Kafka, and MariaDB
require advanced data management capabilities in order to:

• Release products on schedule: Automated lifecycle management for app+data (not just the
  storage) is required to save valuable time at each stage of the lifecycle. Multiple teams (Dev/
  Test/Ops) need a mechanism to collaborate without procedural delays.
• Recover from system failures: App+data protection capabilities such as point-in-time
  snapshots, backup, and restore are required to recover from system failures and user errors.
• Avoid infrastructure lock-in: The ability to migrate from on-prem to cloud and vice versa, and
  among the public clouds is needed to avoid infrastructure lock-in.
• Deliver predictable performance: To guarantee QoS and to ensure high priority applications
  do not miss SLAs, you need the ability to set IOPS limits per app.
• Eliminate security vulnerabilities: Enterprise-grade security is required with authentication and
  encryption to ensure your data is safe.
