Do you remember last year when I introduced VMware’s FCD disks and experimented with instant data recovery on K8s using VBR’s Instant Disk Recovery? This year, this feature has finally been officially released in the latest K10 in collaboration with VBR. Today, let me walk you through a demo to see how it works. My demo will be split into two parts: the first part will guide you through building a K3S cluster that can use vSphere Cloud Native Storage, and then in the second part, we’ll explore K10’s backup and recovery capabilities.

In VRO, these PowerShell automation scripts are encapsulated within Plan Steps, which are scheduled, executed, and parameter-passed by VRO’s Orchestration Plans.
