Application Data Protection as a Service for OpenStack
Mission Statement
To protect the Data and Metadata that comprises an OpenStack-deployed Application against loss/damage (e.g. backup, replication) by providing a standard framework of APIs and services that allows vendors to provide plugins through a unified interface
Open Architecture
Design for multiple perspectives:
- User: Protect App Deployment
- Configure and manage custom protection plans on the deployed resources (topology, VMs, volumes, images, …)
- Admin: Define Protectable Resources
- Decide what plugins protect which resources, what is available for the user
- Decide where users can protect their resources
- Vendors: Standard API for protection products
- Create plugins that implement Protection mechanisms for different OpenStack resources
