Backing up AWS Workloads at Scale

This week we talk to David Gildea, founder of CloudRanger, who is now Director of Product at Druva. We discuss what it's like to back up AWS workloads at scale. We start with a high-level overview of Druva's AWS backup offering, and morph that into a discussion of what it's like to do things without it. We draw an analogy to Dave Hitz's comment that he used to make about NetApp, "I liked my first filer; I loved my tenth, and I hated the 100th." David thinks managing AWS backup by yourself is a lot like that. It'll get you so far, but at some point you're going to want some help. The good news is Druva is there to fill in the gap with centralized, mulit-account, cross-account, and cross-region backup that is simple to set up and run.
