A Codified Playbook for Modern Disaster Recovery
Niv Yungelson

Beyond managing clusters, teams must navigate a vast ecosystem of complementary tools, add-ons, Custom Resource Definitions, and APIs, and auto-scaling tools––each needing specific and custom configurations to properly run. That's why disaster recovery (DR) in cloud native ops isn't just about safeguarding data—it's about ensuring that every component of your cloud native ecosystem, from workloads to configurations, can be rapidly restored to operational readiness.

This talk explores why cloud-native environments require a fundamentally different approach to disaster recovery — one that breaks away from the traditional on-prem strategies. We’ll dive into how to design and build a modern DR plan that fits the dynamic nature of cloud-native infrastructure.

Learn how to avoid prolonged downtime using the resources you already have — even in a fast-paced world where balancing tech debt and product requirements is anything but easy.

We’ll explore practical ways to seamlessly embed disaster recovery into your roadmap, aligning it with business objectives so effectively that no product manager will want to say no.
