In this release of NetBackup 11.1, Cloud Scale Technology includes changes related to document name change, enhancements and deployment updates.
For more information, refer to Cohesity Cloud Scale Technology Manual Deployment Guide for Kubernetes Clusters.
With this release, the NetBackup™ Deployment Guide for Kubernetes Clusters has been renamed to Cohesity Cloud Scale Technology Manual Deployment Guide for Kubernetes Clusters.
This release simplifies Cloud Scale deployment and upgrades with a new kubectl plugin that automates and minimizes deployment steps, executing only the required upgrade actions. Additionally, multiple Helm charts have been consolidated into a smaller set, enabling Helm-based deployments and improving overall efficiency and maintainability.
In Cloud Scale technology, the NetBackup Database Manager (BPDBM) is implemented as a StatefulSet deployed by the NetBackup operator. BPDBM capabilities, including catalog management and interfaces to policy, schedule, image, and media databases, are decoupled from the primary server and run in a separate Kubernetes service.
The BPDBM service relies on web services and consists of a single BPDBM pod, with all requests from other NetBackup components routed to this pod.
The Cloud Scale log collection system has been optimized for better performance by introducing compression to reduce network traffic and increasing parallel streaming to improve overall throughput.
