CloudCasa
CloudCasa is a data protection and recovery service for Kubernetes, cloud databases, cloud-native applications, and Kubernetes-native virtualization.
What CloudCasa is
CloudCasa is a data protection and recovery service for Kubernetes, cloud databases, cloud-native applications, and Kubernetes-native virtualization. It backs up Kubernetes persistent data and resources, including cluster and cloud configurations, and supports restoring or migrating them across clusters, accounts, regions, and clouds. It also backs up and restores KubeVirt virtual machines, including individual files. CloudCasa connects natively with AWS EKS and RDS, Microsoft Azure AKS, and Google Cloud GKE. Teams can use it as managed SaaS or deploy it themselves in on-premises, cloud, or edge environments. A central console controls configuration, schedules, retention policies, storage destinations, and jobs. Backup data is encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256, with stored objects isolated between users; role-based access is customizable. The free plan supports up to five nodes, 30-day retention, and three users per organization. CloudCasa Pro is $69/node/month billed annually, with a 60-day trial; Enterprise pricing is custom.
