This paper highlights the risks of relying on traditional backup tools for Kubernetes, noting increased complexity, container sprawl, and application-centric data structures. It emphasizes production adoption trends, rising outage rates, and risks of data loss due to misconfigurations or dispersed workloads. Kubernetes-native solutions provide application-aware backups, policy automation, mobility across clusters, and rapid restore capabilities. As deployments scale, organizations need purpose-built protection to eliminate gaps, ensure reliability, and support secure, resilient containerized operations.
