To setup this group, you’ll setup a file called vpg.yaml that will setup the VPG.Have a technical question? Just make a self post!ĭiscussion of piracy methods will not be permitted. For multi- or cross-cluster replication, you’d need to use the name of the 2nd Zerto site on the other cluster.” “Doing so enables local, same-site replication within a single cluster. Here, we’ll be using the same site for source and destination. We’ll be using kustomize to build the infrastructure Pods for Zerto itself, and we’ll also create the actual VPG and its sites.įirst things first, we’ll be editing the yaml to set up our sites. The “more traditional” VPGs have been things like VMs and what not, here we are going to protect the Kubernetes guestbook application. Very simply, it is a defined set of resources you are telling Zerto to Protect. Creating a Zerto VPGĪ VPG, a “Virtual Protection Group,” is a Zerto concept. Let’s get started by editing the values & parameters used in installation with helm install z4k zerto/z4k -f values.yaml -namespace zertoĪfter that you will copy over the Zerto Plugin for kubectl. “For installation, we can install both the ZKM and ZKM-PX together simultaneously because we only have one cluster if we already had a ZKM elsewhere, we’d only need to install the ZKM-PX. When using multiple Z4K sites and clusters, you’d only need one ZKM overall but multiple proxies-one for each cluster.” The ZKM-PX is a more lightweight ZKM that’s specific to just one site. The ZKM is a global manager for all Z4K sites within an account and manages the overall deployment, including cross-site replication. “Now we’ll install two key components, the Zerto Kubernetes Manager (ZKM) and the ZKM proxy (ZKM-PX). Successfully got an update from the "zerto" chart repository Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories. "zerto" has been added to your helm repo update The installation is a straightforward Helm chart, so let’s walk through helm repo add zerto Installing Zerto for Kubernetes Using Helm For the sake of not turning this post into a how-to on the lab, we are going to assume that we’ve logged in and setup the app already (a simple guestbook app along with K8Dash) and we’ll get started with the install of Zerto for Kubernetes. Outside of that, it should be pretty straightforward. You might consider using the RDP session for ease of copy/paste, but there are buttons for that as well if you are running the default interface. ![]() The second time through is where you can experiment, which I am doing here.IMPORTANT: Make sure you read everything carefully, and the main thing is that you’ll need your Student Number, which is different each time.The first time through, just make sure it works as intended, and of course take your time.Like I said, we’re using the myZerto Labs, and a few items of note: Hands On with Zerto for Kubernetes: Setup We’ll Setup a VPG and Install the Pods/Storage to replicate everything.What we will do here is very realistic because what you do here is what you will do, “IRL” as they say: You also do have the option of running the Zerto Trial as well, so you can try this out on your own stuff. It’s also something you can run yourself. I am using this lab because it has everything I need. The lab I used for this post is “Up and Running with Zerto for Kubernetes”, available once you register at myZerto. Here, we are going to kick the tires on Zerto for Kubernetes (Z4K), based on Zerto’s Hands-on labs, which anyone can get through a registration to myZerto. In Part 1 we took a look at the features available with Zerto, including my favorite: Data Protection as Code. This is Part 2 of a series on Zerto and Kubernetes. TL DR: If you really want to get my deeper commentary on the value of what Zerto for Kubernetes provides and go a bit beyond the lab, skip down to the section: “The Part Where Everything Comes Together,” although there might be some nuggets along the way!
