What it is

Trilio Site Recovery is a paid, hybrid disaster-recovery product for KubeVirt and OpenShift Virtualization virtual machines. It uses continuous, storage-agnostic replication without a VM agent. Synchronous block replication targets near-zero RPO, while asynchronous replication is also available. Automated failover can start VMs in a defined order, reassign networks, and cut over DNS. Isolated tests run from replicated snapshots without disrupting production, with compliance reports available. Replication policies are Kubernetes custom resources that can be kept as Git-managed manifests, and the product lists ArgoCD, Flux, and ACM compatibility. Its OpenShift-native operator architecture uses CRDs and a centralized control plane for multiple clusters. Hooks before and after failover can quiesce databases, flush writes, and notify dependent services. Listed capabilities include persistent-volume and cluster-resource backup, application-consistent backup, dependency mapping, instant VM recovery, immutable storage, cloud targets, and off-site replication. Availability is described as Technology Preview through Trilio’s Early Adopter Program, supporting Red Hat OpenShift 4.20 and later. Pricing is on request.
