Building Resilience: Effective Backup and Disaster Recovery for Vector Databases on Kubernetes

This talk covers the rising importance of vector databases, particularly in the context of generative AI and their deployment on Kubernetes. The speaker discusses the challenges associated with backup and disaster recovery for these stateful applications, highlighting the necessity of an effective data protection strategy to maintain data integrity and availability. Attendees will gain insights into the management and reliable deployment of vector databases in cloud-native environments. The session includes a practical demonstration of Kanister, a CNCF Sandbox project, which simplifies the backup and recovery process for vector databases operating within Kubernetes. The speaker, Florian Trieloff, is an Advisory Systems Engineer at Veeam Kasten with extensive experience in DevOps and Kubernetes.
