Backup is not restore

We back up your Kubernetes workloads with Velero to our S3 storage – including retention policies, encryption, and regular restore tests.

Kubernetes backups

Velero-based

Full backups of namespaces, PVs, and resources. Scheduled backups and disaster recovery between clusters.
Velero Kubernetes PV

Application data

Databases & stateful apps

Consistent backups of your stateful workloads – PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, and more from our app catalog.
PostgreSQL Redis Stateful

EU storage

S3-compatible in the EU

All backup data is stored in our S3 storage on European infrastructure – encrypted and redundant.
S3 EU CEPH

Restore tests

Tested recovery

Regular restore tests ensure your backups actually work when you need them – not just exist on paper.

Compliance & Regulatory Requirements

The ayedo Software Delivery Platform meets the requirements of current EU regulations. From GDPR to NIS-2 to DORA – our platform is designed for regulated industries and critical infrastructures.

GDPR-Compliant Data Processing

Privacy by Design & Default.

EU data residency (Germany), Customer-Managed Keys (BYOK/BYOHSM), encryption at rest/in transit. ISO 27001-certified data protection management. Support for data subject rights, DPA, incident response. More about GDPR.

NIS-2-Compliant Operations

Resilience for critical infrastructures.

24/7 monitoring, incident response, BCP/DR processes, supply chain transparency (SBOM). EU-based operations, MFA/PAM, vulnerability management, patch processes. Ideal for essential/important entities. More about NIS-2.

DORA-Ready for Financial Institutions

ICT resilience tailored.

ICT risk management framework, documented exit strategies, third-party risk management, TLPT readiness. Structured incident reporting chains, continuous resilience testing, ISO 27001-certified. More about DORA.

CRA-Compliant Software Supply Chain

Security by Design across the entire lifecycle.

SBOM generation, CVE scanning, vulnerability disclosure processes, update management. Signed container images, GitOps-based audit trails, transparent supply chain. More about CRA.

Cloud Sovereignty Framework

Digital sovereignty made measurable.

EU-based operations, open standards, exit capability without lock-in. Designed for SEAL-4 (Full Digital Sovereignty) across all eight sovereignty objectives. No dependencies on non-EU control. More about the Framework.

Data Act-Compliant Portability

Switching without barriers.

Open APIs (OpenAPI), standardized formats (YAML/JSON/OCI), complete exit runbooks, Infrastructure-as-Code portability. Multi-cloud capable, no egress fees, functional equivalence. More about Data Act.

Integrated Compliance Roadmap

Holistic approach.

How ayedo systematically addresses GDPR, NIS-2, DORA, CRA, Data Act, Cloud Sovereignty Framework, ISO 27001/9001. Certifications, processes, technical measures, audit readiness. To overview.

Integration with Polycrate

Backups are part of the Polycrate Software Security Framework and build on Kubernetes, Velero, and S3 storage.

Managed Kubernetes

Backups from the cluster

Velero runs on your managed Kubernetes clusters – namespaces, PVs, and resources are backed up to S3 automatically.
Kubernetes Velero PV
