1,000+ Organizations Use Afi to Protect Their Data
Fully-Automated and Complete K8s Backup
- Protect all K8s cloud services
and distros from a single UI console, with cross-cluster, cross-cloud restore and migration capabilities - Leverage full-fidelity backup of K8s apps, infrastructure and data, including etcd, namespaces' meta and dependencies, infrastructure configs, persistent volumes and databases
- Restore and replicate entire clusters or only selected application components, to the same or a different target environment
- UNIQUE Use instant Google-like full-text search across all backups to find recovery points or individual items you need to restore
Resilient, Zero-Maintenance Protection
- Sit back and relax as Afi auto-discovers resources in your K8s environment, auto-configures and continuously adapts protection settings as your K8s infrastructure & apps evolve
- UNIQUE & NEW Manage all your backup agents using Afi cloud-hosted Afi dashboard, or protect air-gapped K8s environments with flexible on-premise only or hybrid Afi deployment options
- Recover complex apps with 10,000s of nodes and petabytes of data in a single click – no need to manually deploy, update and maintain backup and recovery scripts
AI-powered Security Engine
- UNIQUE Prevent data loss due to cyber attacks thanks to Afi's cyber attack detection, preemptive backup mechanism and timely alerts to infrastructure admins
- UNIQUERecover data and configs on a large scale with surgical precision, using Afi recovery points auto-labelling mechanism
- NEW Improve your K8s security by leveraging Afi' vulnerability detection of cluster configurations and application dependencies
Granular Access Control and Data Residency
- Leverage OpenID and major Cloud IAMs – including Azure AD, GCP, AWS, or Okta – to simplify access management for your backups
- Create custom backup user roles to implement the principle of least privilege, segregating access based on the team members roles, seniority and geographic location
- Use flexible backup data residency policies to ensure that the backup storage geography matches that of the relevant K8s application components and/or data privacy regulations
CLI and Integration with DevOps Systems
- Easily integrate Afi with DevOps systems, including Terraform, Circle CI and Jenkins, using Afi's powerful API and pre-built integrations
- Implement 100% automated disaster recovery thanks by connecting Afi to your infrastructure management systems – Afi can automatically re-create access, network and hardware configs when spinning new recovery clusters
- UNIQUEUse Afi backup data versioning and anonymization on recovery to replicate data to staging and reporting environments
Shift to Kubernetes-Native Backup
Legacy Challenges
Legacy and pseudo cloud-native backup tools provide incomplete protection and require time to manage & maintan them
- Backup requires regular attention and manual scripting
- Slow & incomplete recovery of K8s app data and configs
- Unreliable protection leads to data loss
Modern Solution
Afi delivers fully automated and complete protection of distributed Kubernetes applications
- Complete backup of all K8s application elements & metadata.
- Automated recovery of entire clusters or app components.
- Integration with major container orchestration platforms.
Q&A
Where Afi Kubernetes Backups are stored?
You can connect you own cloud, off-premise or local backup storage, or use Afi's cloud backup storage service.
When you backup to Afi storage you can select a single storage region for all your data, or implement a set of backup data residency policies to backup to multiiple geographic locations. Available Afi storage locations include the United States (Iowa), the European Union (the Netherlands), UK, Canada and Australia.
How is Afi different from Velero and Velero-based backup options?
Afi provides a complete and easy-to-use K8s backup service, with no need to manage and maintain data protection infrastructure. You can install Afi in just a few clicks, and all your team members can use it via a web UI, with no need of advanced DevOps knowledge.
Unlike Velero's underlying technology that uses snapshots to calculate increments, Afi K8s backup implements true incremental backup. This enales Afi to achieve significantly faster backup performance (up to 2-3x), especially in large complex environments.
How much does Afi K8s backup cost?
Our standard price is $140 per node per month and $60 per one terabyte of backup storage. You will only need to license the nodes you protect, and you don't need to pay for backup storage if you use your own storage.
We provide custom pricing for large deployments. Please contact us to get a quote, arrange a POC, or get access to the Afi-hosted test lab environment.
Do you offer a free tier?
We provide free licenses for small environments. Feel free to get in touch to request free licenses if you need to protect less than 10 nodes.
Do I need a Microsoft or Google account to start a trial?
By default, Afi uses cloud SSO services for identity and access management. When using your Microsoft or Google account to sign up, you aren't granting the Afi application any access to your Microsoft Azure or Google infrastructure.
You may use a test SSO account or an empty account that's not linked to a K8s environment; you will only need the SSO account to authenticate and access the Afi cloud dashboard. After you sign up, you'll be able to install an Afi backup agent and grant it access to the K8s infrastructure you need to protect.
Get in touch if you'd like to sign up for a trial without a Microsoft or Google SSO, or if you need to use an alternative SSO provider.
