Veeam Kasten K10 is the purpose-built data management platform for Kubernetes from Veeam — designed from the ground up to protect cloud-native applications running on any Kubernetes distribution. While traditional backup tools operate at the VM or disk level, Kasten K10 operates at the application level — it automatically discovers and protects the complete Kubernetes application stack: Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) with underlying volume data, Ingresses, NetworkPolicies, Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), and Operator-managed resources. K10 deploys as a Kubernetes-native application via Helm chart into a dedicated namespace (kasten-io), integrating directly with the Kubernetes API server, CSI storage drivers, and external storage backends.
K10's Blueprint system provides application-consistent backup for stateful workloads — pre-built hooks for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, and 40+ databases ensure data consistency during snapshot creation. Policy-driven automation defines backup schedules, retention, and export targets per namespace or label selector. Transform operations enable seamless application mobility — migrating applications between clusters, clouds, and environments while automatically adapting StorageClasses, namespaces, Ingress endpoints, and ConfigMap values. Cross-cluster disaster recovery exports application backups to S3-compatible object storage with Object Lock for immutable, ransomware-proof protection.
As an Authorized Veeam Partner in India with Kubernetes platform expertise (CKA/CKAD certified engineers), PrecisionTech delivers licensed subscriptions, cluster assessment, backup architecture design, Helm-based deployment, Blueprint configuration, cross-cluster DR setup, multi-cloud mobility architecture, GitOps integration with ArgoCD and Flux, 24×7 managed monitoring, quarterly DR drill testing, and custom Blueprint development — making us your complete Kubernetes data protection partner in India. Serving enterprises for 30+ years with ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and CMMI Level 3 certifications.
Automatic discovery of all Kubernetes applications by namespace, Helm release, or label selector. Captures the complete application stack — Deployments, StatefulSets, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, PVCs (with volume data), CRDs, and Operator-managed custom resources — as a single logical backup unit. Tag-based and namespace-based policies ensure new applications are automatically protected without manual intervention.
Define backup, export, and retention policies using K10Policy custom resources — schedule backups from every hour to weekly, configure retention (daily, weekly, monthly restore points), and set export targets for cross-cluster DR. Policies are namespace-scoped or cluster-wide. Supports label selectors for fine-grained resource targeting. Policies are Kubernetes CRDs — fully GitOps-compatible, version-controlled, and reviewable via pull requests.
Leverages native Container Storage Interface (CSI) VolumeSnapshot APIs for fast, space-efficient, storage-native snapshots. Supports all major CSI drivers: Amazon EBS, Azure Disk, Google PD, NetApp ONTAP (Trident), Pure Storage (Portworx), Rook-Ceph, OpenEBS, Longhorn, MinIO, Dell PowerStore, HPE Nimble. Falls back to file-level copy for storage backends without snapshot support. Incremental snapshots minimize backup windows.
Export application backups to external object storage (S3, Azure Blob, GCS, MinIO, NFS) and restore to any Kubernetes cluster — different distribution, different cloud, different region. Transform operations adapt StorageClasses, namespaces, Ingress endpoints, and ConfigMaps during restore. Automated DR policies with scheduled exports. Common architectures: EKS Mumbai → AKS Singapore, OpenShift DC1 → OpenShift DC2, GKE prod → GKE DR.
Move complete Kubernetes applications between clusters and clouds with full fidelity. Dev → staging → production promotion with automatic environment-specific transforms. Cloud migration from on-premises OpenShift to EKS/AKS/GKE. Cloud rebalancing across providers. Cluster upgrade safety — back up from old cluster, restore to new. Transform profiles are reusable — create once, apply to every migration of the same type.
Export backups to S3-compatible storage with Object Lock (WORM mode) — immutable copies that cannot be deleted or modified even by cluster administrators. AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS encryption in transit. Customer-managed encryption keys. Air-gapped backup isolation — compromising the Kubernetes cluster does not expose backup repositories. Minimum 14-day immutability for production, 30–90 days for regulated industries.
Kubernetes-native RBAC integration with custom roles: k10-admin (cluster-wide), k10-ns-admin (namespace-scoped), k10-basic (read-only). Multi-tenant clusters: each team manages backups for their namespaces only. Different backup frequencies, retention policies, and export targets per namespace. Enterprise SSO via OIDC, LDAP, and SAML. Audit logging of all backup and restore operations for compliance.
Pre-built application-specific backup hooks for 40+ stateful applications: PostgreSQL (CloudNativePG, Crunchy Data, Zalando), MySQL (Percona, Vitess), MongoDB (Percona, Community), Kafka (Strimzi), Redis, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, CockroachDB, YugabyteDB, TiDB, etcd. Custom Blueprints for any application using shell commands or Kanister actions. Blueprints stored as Kubernetes CRDs — GitOps-compatible.
Real-time visibility into backup health, policy compliance, and SLA adherence. Application protection coverage — which namespaces are protected vs. unprotected. Backup success/failure rates with root cause analysis. RPO compliance monitoring. Storage consumption trends. Restore test results. Prometheus/Grafana metrics export. Alerting via PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Slack. Monthly compliance reports for auditors.

Startups building microservices on Kubernetes need backup from day one — a misconfigured Helm upgrade, accidental namespace deletion, or corrupted database can wipe out production data. K10's FREE edition protects clusters up to 5 nodes at zero cost with full feature parity. Application-centric backup means the entire microservice stack (pods, secrets, configs, databases) restores as a single unit. PrecisionTech helps startups design cost-effective Kubernetes backup architectures that scale with their infrastructure.
E-commerce platforms running microservices on Kubernetes — product catalog, cart, payment processing, recommendation engines, inventory management — face catastrophic revenue loss during outages. Losing a single microservice's database or configuration during peak sales (Diwali, flash sales) cascades across the entire platform. K10 backs up all application namespaces with coordinated policies and Blueprint-driven database consistency. Cross-cluster DR ensures failover within minutes.
FinTech companies running trading engines, risk calculation pipelines, and regulatory reporting on Kubernetes face stringent RBI and SEBI requirements — sub-hour RPO for transaction databases, 7-year retention for financial records, immutable backups for audit trails. K10 with hourly namespace backups, S3 Object Lock immutability, and cross-cluster DR to isolated clusters addresses all regulatory mandates. PrecisionTech configures compliance-aligned Kubernetes backup policies for Indian financial services.
Healthcare organizations hosting patient portals, telemedicine platforms, and diagnostic AI workloads on Kubernetes must comply with HIPAA and India's DPDPA 2023. K10 provides encrypted backups (AES-256), immutable storage (S3 Object Lock), RBAC access controls, and comprehensive audit logging. Namespace-level policies isolate patient data backups from general application backups. Cross-cluster DR ensures patient-facing applications remain available during infrastructure failures.
DevOps teams using Kubernetes for CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Tekton pipelines running on K8s) need rapid recovery from pipeline failures and cluster upgrades. K10's application mobility enables blue-green cluster upgrades — back up all workloads from the old cluster, create a new cluster with the target Kubernetes version, restore everything with Transform operations. GitOps integration means backup policies live alongside application manifests in Git, applied automatically by ArgoCD or Flux.
Managed service providers operating Kubernetes clusters for multiple clients need standardized backup with tenant isolation. K10's RBAC integration gives each client namespace-level access to their own backups without visibility into other tenants. Immutable S3 exports protect against cross-tenant compromise. Compliance dashboards generate per-client backup health reports automatically. PrecisionTech has deployed K10 for MSPs managing 100+ namespaces across EKS, AKS, and on-premises Rancher clusters.

★★★★★"Our payment processing platform runs 140 microservices across 3 EKS clusters — 65 worker nodes, 200+ namespaces, and 40 StatefulSets running PostgreSQL (CloudNativePG), Redis, and Kafka (Strimzi). When a Helm upgrade to our transaction reconciliation service went catastrophically wrong — a schema migration corrupted 3 PostgreSQL clusters simultaneously — we had zero Kubernetes-native backup before Kasten K10. PrecisionTech deployed K10 in a single afternoon. The Blueprints for CloudNativePG and Strimzi Kafka worked immediately. Within 2 weeks, every namespace had automated daily backups with 4-hour RPO for production databases. When our next incident hit — an operator accidentally deleted an entire namespace containing our fraud detection pipeline (12 microservices, 3 databases, 8 ConfigMaps with ML model configurations) — K10 restored the complete namespace in 11 minutes. Every pod, every secret, every PVC, every custom resource came back exactly as it was. The cross-cluster DR to our Mumbai-to-Singapore export runs every 6 hours. Our CTO calls K10 the best insurance policy we have ever purchased."
★★★★★"We manage a multi-tenant SaaS platform on GKE with 45 nodes across 3 clusters (dev, staging, production). Our biggest challenge was application mobility — promoting tested applications from dev to staging to production required manual kubectl exports, sed replacements for namespace names and ingress endpoints, and prayer that nothing was missed. We lost 2 days once because a developer forgot to transform a ConfigMap reference during promotion. PrecisionTech configured Kasten K10 with Transform profiles for each promotion path — dev-to-staging automatically changes StorageClass from standard to ssd, updates ingress hostnames, adjusts resource limits, and modifies environment-specific ConfigMap values. Staging-to-production transforms add production tolerations, update Ingress TLS certificates, and scale replica counts. What used to take 4 hours of manual work and frequently failed now takes 15 minutes with a single K10 restore operation. The compliance dashboard also satisfied our SOC 2 auditors — automated evidence of backup SLA adherence across every namespace."
★★★★★"As a managed service provider, we operate Kubernetes clusters for 22 clients across EKS, AKS, and on-premises Rancher RKE2 — totaling 180 worker nodes and 500+ namespaces. Before K10, each client had different backup tooling (some Velero, some custom scripts, most had nothing). PrecisionTech standardized our entire fleet on Kasten K10 Enterprise with centralized monitoring. The multi-tenancy RBAC integration is critical — each client team has k10-ns-admin access to their namespaces only, while our operations team has cluster-wide visibility. The GitOps integration with ArgoCD means backup policies are version-controlled alongside application manifests — when a developer adds a new StatefulSet, the corresponding Blueprint is added in the same pull request. Our monthly compliance reports are generated automatically from the K10 dashboard. The immutable S3 backup with Object Lock has already saved one client from a ransomware incident — compromised CI/CD credentials led to namespace deletion, but the immutable backups were untouched. Full restore in 23 minutes. K10 is now a mandatory component of every new client onboarding."

pg_start_backup() before the snapshot and pg_stop_backup() after, ensuring the WAL is flushed and the snapshot represents a recoverable point. K10 ships with pre-built Blueprints for: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Cassandra, CockroachDB, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, etcd, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, FoundationDB, YugabyteDB, TiDB, and dozens more. Custom Blueprints can be written for any application using shell commands, Kubernetes API calls, or Kanister actions. Blueprints are versioned and stored as Kubernetes CRDs, making them GitOps-compatible — store them in your Git repository alongside your application manifests and apply them with ArgoCD or Flux.helm install k10 kasten/k10 --namespace kasten-io), and it recognizes Helm-managed applications in your cluster. When backing up a Helm release, K10 captures the Helm release metadata (chart version, values.yaml overrides, release revision history) alongside the Kubernetes resources — enabling restore with full Helm context. Operator integration: K10 discovers and protects Operator-managed applications — capturing the Operator's Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), custom resources (CRs), and all dependent Kubernetes objects. For stateful operators (PostgreSQL Operator, MongoDB Operator, Kafka Operator), K10 Blueprints define operator-aware backup hooks that invoke the operator's native backup mechanisms. K10 also protects the operators themselves — backing up the operator deployment, its CRDs, and cluster-scoped resources. This ensures that restoring to a new cluster brings the complete operator stack, not just the data. PrecisionTech has experience deploying K10 alongside popular operators including CloudNativePG, Strimzi Kafka, Percona, and Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes.kasten-io). Deployment steps: Step 1 — Add the Kasten Helm repository: helm repo add kasten https://charts.kasten.io/. Step 2 — Run the pre-flight check to validate cluster prerequisites: CSI driver version, VolumeSnapshot CRDs, storage class configuration, RBAC permissions, and Kubernetes version compatibility. Step 3 — Install K10: helm install k10 kasten/k10 --namespace kasten-io --create-namespace with optional values for storage backend, authentication, ingress, and resource limits. Step 4 — Access the K10 dashboard (port-forward or Ingress) and configure Location Profiles (S3, Azure Blob, GCS, NFS targets), application Blueprints, and backup policies. The entire installation takes 5–10 minutes for the Helm deployment and 1–2 hours for policy configuration. K10 runs as lightweight pods (controller, executor, dashboardsvc, catalog) consuming minimal cluster resources — typically 500 MB RAM and 0.5 CPU at idle. PrecisionTech handles the complete deployment including pre-flight validation, Helm configuration, storage Profile setup, Blueprint installation, policy creation, and first backup verification.Still have questions about Veeam Kasten K10 in India?
