Extending K10 with Kanister

Kanister, an extensible open-source framework used by Kasten's K10 platform, can be used for application-level data management on Kubernetes. It allows domain experts to capture application specific data management tasks in blueprints which can be easily shared and extended. The framework takes care of the tedious details around execution on Kubernetes and presents a homogeneous operational experience across applications at scale. Further, it gives you a natural mechanism to extend the K10 platform by adding your own code to modify any desired step performed for data lifecycle management.

Below you can find useful resources about the project as well as helpful information for testing K10 with Kanister-enabled applications.
