BACKUP OF CONTAINERIZED APPLICATIONS USING A BACKUP SERVICES CONTAINER AND A BACKUP SERVICES CONTAINER-ORCHESTRATION POD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240330120 titled 'BACKUP OF CONTAINERIZED APPLICATIONS USING A BACKUP SERVICES CONTAINER AND A BACKUP SERVICES CONTAINER-ORCHESTRATION POD
The patent application describes a "backup services container" that includes "backup toolkits" with scripts for accessing containerized applications and enabling utilities/environments for executing the scripts. This container is added to Kubernetes pods containing containerized applications without altering other containers in the pod.
- The backup services container is equipped with toolkits for maximum value and advantage.
- It selects and applies a suitable backup toolkit to a containerized application to prepare it for a pending backup.
- Interoperability with a proprietary data storage management system offers features not available with third-party backup systems.
- Some embodiments include components of the proprietary data storage management within the backup services container.
- Other embodiments include components of the proprietary data storage management system in a backup services pod on a Kubernetes node.
Potential Applications: - Cloud computing environments - Non-cloud computing environments
Problems Solved: - Simplifying backup processes for containerized applications - Enhancing backup capabilities without disrupting existing containers
Benefits: - Improved backup efficiency - Seamless integration with Kubernetes pods - Enhanced data storage management features
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Backup Services Container for Kubernetes Pods This technology could be utilized by cloud service providers, data centers, and businesses with containerized applications to streamline backup processes and enhance data storage management capabilities.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the backup services container improve backup processes for containerized applications? 2. What advantages does the interoperability with a proprietary data storage management system offer in comparison to third-party backup systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
a “backup services container” comprises “backup toolkits,” which include scripts for accessing containerized applications plus enabling utilities/environments for executing the scripts. the backup services container is added to kubernetes pods comprising containerized applications without changing other pod containers. for maximum value and advantage, the backup services container is “over-equipped” with toolkits. the backup services container selects and applies a suitable backup toolkit to a containerized application to ready it for a pending backup. interoperability with a proprietary data storage management system provides features that are not possible with third-party backup systems. some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management within the illustrative backup services container. some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management system in a backup services pod configured in a kubernetes node. all configurations and embodiments are suitable for cloud and/or non-cloud computing environments.
