Chaos To Control: Kubernetes Resiliency at the Edge
Talkat Kubernetes on Edge Day Europe 2025 · on Tuesday, 2025-04-01· at 08:10· Level 3 | ICC Capital Suite 10-12·
summary
RetailCo suffers a phishing-triggered ransomware outbreak that encrypts persistent volumes across 500+ edge clusters and corrupts local snapshots. Recovery hinges on three fixes: replace local snapshots with immutable backups, store them offsite on S3-compatible object storage with network encryption and geo-distribution, and use a Kubernetes-native backup tool — demonstrated as Kasten + ARTESCA integration — enabling full rollback from immutable snapshots and a claimed full recovery in under ten minutes.
