Protecting your OpenStack cloud with an automated backup and recovery strategy
It’s frustrating when things go wrong with your OpenStack cloud, which is why you should protect it with a backup solution. But what kind of backup solution? How do you backup the many moving parts that make up OpenStack? How do you restore a failed OpenStack cloud to its original working state? How do you automate the entire process without frustration?
This session provides an in-depth look at how to perform OpenStack backup and recovery operations, and tips on how to automate the process. We’ll use a TripleO-deployed OpenStack environment as an example, but the same strategies can apply to other OpenStack clouds. We’ll also provide a demonstration of backing up and restoring an OpenStack environment using Ansible.
What can I expect to learn?
- How to determine the components to back up in case of a failure.
- How to run automated backups using Ansible.
- How to identify the restore strategy based on the failure.
- How to apply an automated recovery using Ansible.
- How to validate your OpenStack cloud after recovery.
