DigitalOcean is launching a new Agent for managed Kubernetes backups through its SnapShooter solution, making it easier to create and manage backups of databases in DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS). The new feature allows users to install the Agent into their chosen namespace and container with one click, and will be available for setup and managing backup jobs almost immediately. This solution is designed to better serve customers who have struggled with setting up DOKS clusters or had issues with backup reliability. The pricing for this service remains consistent across all tiers, with users able to determine the backup frequency, retention policies, and storage location simply and easily.
