Kubernetes data management provider Kasten has extended K10 Enterprise Data Management Platform to include capabilities for improved data management, governance and backup capabilities, the company announced. For governance and compliance, the software platform provider says it offers tighter control of data compliance for data management across different geographical zones and jurisdictions, including: For support for compliance for GDPR, Kasten K10 helps to offer tighter control for how organizations store their data thanks to separate retention policies for data that can individually apply to data snapshots, backup, disaster recovery and migration, Gaurav Rishi, head of product at Kasten, told The New Stack.

The K10 platform’s GDPR- and other data compliance-management features include an automated overview of the compliance status of applications, Rishi said.

Policy-based approach to Kubernetes for data management is a key — and often missing — component in cloud native platforms, Rishi said.

The report’s survey results also showed how the majority of applications running in containerized environments are stateless, thus underscoring the importance of automation and portability for data policy, compliance and backup management across different cloud environments and geographic locations — which Kasten’s platform offers, Rishi said.
