Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for replication and moving data to provide for container-based application mobility. The configuration of the of the container-based application is determined and copied to an intermediate object storage. Depending on the replication compatibility of source array backing the source cluster and the target array backing the target cluster either a replication engine or data mover are used to move data. Configuration of the container-based application in the common storage is copied and stored to the target cluster. The target cluster is used to restore the container-based application.

Abstract: Described are system and methods that provide for backing up a source cluster of a container-based application to a target cluster, using an intermediate store accessible by the source cluster and target cluster. The target cluster is registered and the container-based application is identified. Configuration and data of the container-based application is collected and written to intermediate store. A command identifying the target cluster to the intermediate store, which is read. If the identifier in the command and the identifier for the target are the same, a restore is performed to the target cluster.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing persistent storage for a container based application running on and unaware of a container orchestration system. An empty directory volume is mounted in a pod of the container orchestration system. A read to a persistent storage is performed by an init container of the pod. The persistent storage is not local to the node of the pod. Writing of the read is performed to the empty directory volume. The empty directory volume is to an application container that runs the container based application, allowing read/write operations between the empty directory volume and application container. Monitoring and providing changes is of the empty directory volume is performed to the persistent storage.

Abstract: Methods and a system that back up container-based applications running on an information handling system. Configurations are collected of the container-based applications. Volumes are determined as to the container-based applications as found in storage with persistent volumes. The container-based applications are quiesced, while clones of the volumes are created that are used by the container-based applications. A backup is performed using a data mover for each volume of the cloned volumes.

Abstract: Techniques for application mobility in an information processing system environment are disclosed. For example, a method comprises managing, via an automatic data mover selection controller, a plurality of data movers to select at least one of the plurality of data movers for use in moving data associated with an application program from a first storage location to a second storage location.
