## 1 Introduction  
In the modern era, data have become a crucial asset and a key to competitiveness for businesses. With the expansion of digitalization and cloud technology, data continues to increase in value. In this context, data loss poses a significant threat to businesses, highlighting the need for efficient data management and protection strategies. Data protection in cloud environments is vital, enabling companies to respond to various threats such as software errors, hardware failures, cyber-attacks, and natural disasters. The maintenance of data stability and reliability has emerged as a key element of business operations. The importance of data backup is emphasized in this context. Data backup transcends mere information copying; it involves various functions from fulfilling legal obligations to protecting against security threats, such as ransomware and hacking, and preparing for natural disasters [1; 2; 3; 4]. Data backup strategies, such as the setting of recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives, play a crucial role in minimizing service disruptions and preventing data loss. These strategies are essential for organizations to protect their information assets from various risks and maintain sustainable services. The significance of disaster recovery is an extension of data backup strategies. Disaster recovery provides more comprehensive security and stability in conjunction with data backup. Disaster-recovery solutions respond quickly and effectively to data loss or damage due to natural disasters, technical errors, and cyber-attacks. Such strategies ensure quick recovery and the provision of sustainable services, thus guaranteeing business continuity. Companies operating various applications and services in cloud environments must implement advanced disaster-recovery strategies. Disaster Recovery, as a Service (DRaaS), supports the quick recovery of data and applications in the event of a disaster [5]. This service is applied in various environments, and its importance has been increasingly highlighted in cloud usage. Cloud-based businesses and organizations require effective disaster-recovery strategies to ensure data and service continuity. DRaaS is designed to meet this requirement by considering the flexibility and scalability of cloud infrastructure to minimize business disruptions in the event of a disaster. DRaaS in cloud environments offers many advantages, including cost efficiency, fast recovery times, and accessibility, making it an essential element in modern business environments. Consequently, research on disaster recovery in cloud environments is being actively pursued [6; 7; 8; 9; 10]. Backup and restoration tools for Kubernetes are crucial for protecting the data and system state of container-based applications. These tools play an important role in rapidly restoring important data and configurations in the event of a failure [11]. Their usage supports the safe backup of critical data and configurations and quick restoration in case of failure or data loss. The Kubernetes management platform provides an environment for the integrated management of various clusters and services. With the continuous increase in the complexity of cloud services and applications, consistent cluster management and deployment have become essential. This platform enhances operational efficiency in complex environments, reduces operational burdens through resource optimization and automation, and emphasizes the need for a centralized management platform with the increase in the number of clusters. This reduces the possibility of errors and facilitates maintenance and monitoring. The Kubernetes management platform simplifies the manual management of individual clusters and supports consistent policy application, effective monitoring, and stable application deployment. This plays a significant role in enhancing the efficiency of the IT infrastructure for businesses and organizations, contributing to the achievement of business goals.
