Data Protection service overview

Data Protection service overview

Karbor responsibility is protecting the Data and Meta-Data that comprises an OpenStack-deployed Application against loss/damage (e.g. backup, replication) - not to be confused with Application Security or DLP. It does that by providing a standard framework of APIs and services that enables vendors to introduce various data protection services into a coherent and unified flow for the user.

OpenStack Data Protection Orchestration includes the following components:

karbor-api
Accepts API calls for provider, plan, checkpoint, scheduled operations, triggers, protectables, and restores.
karbor-protection
Responsible for orchestrating basic operations (protect, restore, delete) over multiple resources.
karbor-operationengine
Responsible for composing basic operations, scheduling operations, and tracking their progress.
