Use rclone with Raff S3-compatible Object Storage on Ubuntu 24.04. Configure the endpoint, copy and sync safely, verify data, restore-test, encrypt, and automate backups.
Back up PostgreSQL to S3-compatible Raff Object Storage with Restic on Ubuntu 24.04. Automate encrypted dumps, retention, checks, and restore tests.
Use AWS CLI with Raff S3-compatible object storage on Ubuntu 24.04. Configure scoped credentials, transfer files, sync safely, and create presigned URLs.
Plan database storage on block volumes for PostgreSQL and MySQL, including layout, capacity headroom, I/O monitoring, backups, and recovery.
Choose K3s storage for production across local-path, Longhorn, node failure, PVC recovery, and backups without confusing persistence, HA, and DR.
Design K3s on cloud VMs across single-server, agent, and HA topologies, including datastore, networking, storage, backups, upgrades, and production operations.
Learn how serverless function timeout, memory, temporary storage, and concurrency limits affect workload design and when to choose another compute model.
Plan Kubernetes backup and disaster recovery with RPO/RTO, etcd, persistent data, VolumeSnapshots, restore testing, and failure-specific recovery runbooks.
Design Kubernetes networking and storage across Services, Gateway API, NetworkPolicy, PVCs, StorageClasses, private networking, and recovery.
Understand Kubernetes persistent storage, PVs, PVCs, StorageClasses, access modes, reclaim policies, StatefulSets, snapshots, and backup boundaries.
Learn what S3-compatible storage is, the best object storage use cases for developers, when to use block storage instead, and what S3 compatibility does not guarantee.
Learn when to add block storage instead of resizing a VM disk, including databases, Docker data, object storage, recovery boundaries, and cost.
Decide when app uploads should stay on VM disk or move to object storage, including S3 upload patterns, scaling, security, multi-server access, migration, and recovery.
Compare Restic vs Borg for Linux and cloud server backups: S3-compatible storage, SSH repositories, encryption, deduplication, restore workflows, and where Rsync fits.
Set up block storage on a Linux VM safely: identify the disk, format only an empty volume, mount it, persist by UUID in fstab, verify it, and plan recovery.
Learn when block storage fits databases, Docker containers, and stateful app data, including independent scaling, persistence, backups, recovery, and when object storage or managed databases are a better fit.
Compare cloud block storage vs local disk by lifecycle, databases, containers, scaling, performance, backups, and when a separate persistent volume is worth using.
Learn how S3 lifecycle policies handle expiration, retention, version cleanup and object storage costs, with a safe framework for testing deletion rules.
Secure S3-compatible buckets with private-by-default access, least-privilege permissions, scoped credentials, presigned URLs, logging, and recovery controls.
Extend Linux storage safely across partitions, LVM, ext4 and XFS. Learn why df may stay unchanged after a volume resize and how to verify growth.
Plan VM storage for production apps: what belongs on the system disk, when to use block volumes or object storage, and how to reduce recovery risk.
Compare object storage vs block storage by access model, databases, uploads, containers, performance, scaling, recovery, and when VM disk or file storage fits better.
Design cloud storage architecture for production apps using VM disks, block storage, object storage, databases, backups, RPO/RTO, and tested recovery paths.
Learn how object storage events trigger serverless file processing, with prefix filters, idempotency, retries, status tracking, security, and worker trade-offs.
Compare Docker volume vs bind mount for production: persistence, host paths, Compose behavior, permissions, down -v, backups, and when to use each.
Compare cloud snapshots vs backups for VM rollback, retention, database consistency, RPO, RTO, recovery testing, and current Raff Data Protection options.
