Method and System for Instant Availability of Container Platform Workloads

A system comprising:

• a plurality of processing systems communicably coupled through a network, wherein the processing systems include non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations for instant access to data of a container-based application comprising:
• establishing a source host platform and a source storage;
• taking a snapshot of the volume of the container-based application and storing the snapshot on the source storage;
• initiating a microservice on a storage accessed by the destination host platform;
• creating a proxy volume on the storage accessed by the destination host platform;
• mapping and copying data of the snapshot of the volume of the container-based application to the proxy volume;
• and
• pulling data from the proxy volume as needed to recreate the container-based application at the destination host platform.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code for instant access to data of a container-based application, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

• establishing a connection between a destination host platform and a source storage;
• taking a snapshot of the volume of the container-based application and storing the snapshot on the source storage;
• initiating a microservice on a storage accessed by the destination host platform;
• creating a proxy volume on the storage accessed by the destination host platform;
• mapping and copying data of the snapshot of the volume of the container-based application to the proxy volume;
• and
• pulling data from the proxy volume as needed to recreate the container-based application at the destination host platform.
