The Kasten Lab is a fully automated, on-demand environment designed to help you explore Veeam Kasten in a real-world Kubernetes setup.
With just a few clicks, a complete lab is provisioned for you, including a live Kubernetes cluster with CSI-based storage, so you can focus on what actually matters: learning and testing.
What you get
- A ready-to-use Kubernetes environment (no setup required)
- Integrated CSI-based storage
- Full access to backup, restore, and policy features
- Real scenarios to simulate failures and recovery
Why it’s useful
- No local install, no complex setup
- Perfect for learning and validation
- A safe sandbox to break things and recover them
- A practical way to understand Kubernetes data protection workflows
About this project
This is version 1.0 of the lab, running on my personal homelab infrastructure (details here).
It’s a community-driven resource built by a community member for the community. Please use it responsibly so I can keep it available to everyone.
The project is still evolving, so feedback is more than welcome.
If you run into issues or have ideas for improvements, feel free to share.
