Kubernetes has introduced changed block tracking (CBT) to improve data protection and resiliency.
The Kubernetes Data Protection Working Group (DPWG) has worked on integrating CBT into the Container Storage Interface (CSI) specification.
CSI 1.11.0 now includes CBT via the SnapshotMetadata service, allowing storage vendors and backup projects to adopt it.
Kubernetes CSI CBT enhances the combination of cloud native storage and backup, helping it compete with traditional industry solutions for business continuity.
