With ingress-nginx entering feature freeze, the hunt for alternatives like Cilium with Gateway API or Traefik. However, migrating production workloads can be risky and tedious.

IssTech proposes a "Backup-as-Code" strategy using Veeam Kasten to solve this. By backing up your live NGINX application and restoring it to a test cluster, you can validate new controllers safely using real data.

The process leverages Kasten "Transform Sets" to modify data on the fly—automatically patching Ingress classes and stripping annotations, or excluding old configs entirely for a Gateway API migration. This approach turns backup software into a powerful migration engine, eliminating the need for manual manifest rewriting and protecting production environments.

While Velero is a common starting point for Kubernetes backups, it often brings hidden risks, manual overhead, and compliance gaps.

IssProtect for DevOps (powered by Veeam Kasten) delivers the professional alternative your business needs:

• Backup-as-Code: True data mobility to move workloads across clouds effortlessly.

• Compliance Ready: Built for NIS2 and DORA with advanced encryption and immutability.

• Superior Performance: Scalable ephemeral pods architecture that outperforms Velero’s static agents.

• Application Aware: Protects code and data integrity without manual scripts.

Don't wait for disaster to strike. Choose resilience over risk.

Modern DevOps tools like Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Docker repositories can rebuild infrastructure fast, but they can’t restore lost data. In this post, IssTech’s Kubernetes Backup Expert explores real-world “hacks” to show how data loss exposes a massive protection gap. Learn why Backup-as-Code is the only way to ensure rapid, secure recovery after ransomware or total system failure.

In this chapter of “My Life as a Hacker,” IssTech explores the anatomy of a modern Kubernetes environment; servers, storage, CI/CD pipelines, and source control. By mapping every component and applying AI analysis, the series reveals how organisations can recover faster from cyberattacks.
