Chapter 8. Disaster Recovery


Disaster Recovery (DR) helps an organization to recover and resume business critical functions or normal operations when there are disruptions or disasters. OpenShift Data Foundation provides High Availability (HA) & DR solutions for stateful apps which are broadly categorized into two broad categories:

  • Metro-DR: Single Region and cross data center protection with no data loss.
  • Regional-DR: Cross Region protection with minimal potential data loss. [Technology Preview]
Important

OpenShift Data Foundation Metro-DR feature with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) 2.7 is now Generally Available.

The Regional-DR solution for both Blocks and Files is offered as Technology Preview and is subject to Technology Preview support limitations.

8.1. Metro-DR

Metro-DR is composed of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM), Red Hat Ceph Storage and OpenShift Data Foundation components to provide application and data mobility across OpenShift Container Platform clusters.

This release of Metro-DR solution provides volume persistent data and metadata replication across sites that are geographically dispersed. In the public cloud these would be similar to protecting from an Availability Zone failure. Metro-DR ensures business continuity during the unavailability of a data center with no data loss. This solution is entitled with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) and OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced SKUs and related bundles.

Prerequisites

Disaster Recovery features supported by Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation require all of the following prerequisites in order to successfully implement a Disaster Recovery solution:

  • A valid Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced entitlement
  • A valid Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes subscription

To know how subscriptions for OpenShift Data Foundation work, see knowledgebase article on OpenShift Data Foundation subscriptions.

For detailed solution requirements, see Metro-DR requirements, deployment requirements for Red Hat Ceph Storage stretch cluster with arbiter and RHACM requirements.

8.2. Regional-DR [Technology Preview]

Regional-DR is composed of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) and OpenShift Data Foundation components to provide application and data mobility across OpenShift Container Platform clusters. It is built on Asynchronous data replication and hence could have a potential data loss but provides the protection against a broad set of failures.

Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation is backed by Ceph as the storage provider, whose lifecycle is managed by Rook and it’s enhanced with the ability to:

  • Enable pools for mirroring.
  • Automatically mirror images across RBD pools.
  • Provides csi-addons to manage per Persistent Volume Claim mirroring.

This release of Regional-DR supports Multi-Cluster configuration that is deployed across different regions and data centers. For example, a 2-way replication across two managed clusters located in two different regions or data centers. This solution is entitled with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) and OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced SKUs and related bundles.

Prerequisites

Disaster Recovery features supported by Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation require all of the following prerequisites in order to successfully implement a Disaster Recovery solution:

  • A valid Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced entitlement
  • A valid Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes subscription

To know how subscriptions for OpenShift Data Foundation work, see knowledgebase article on OpenShift Data Foundation subscriptions.

For detailed solution requirements, see Regional-DR requirements and RHACM requirements.

Important

Configuring OpenShift Data Foundation for Regional-DR with Advanced Cluster Management is a Technology Preview feature and is subject to Technology Preview support limitations. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
