Kasten

Veeam Kasten (formerly Kasten K10) is an enterprise-grade, Kubernetes-native data protection platform. It delivers backup and recovery, disaster recovery, application mobility, ransomware resilience, and virtual-machine (KubeVirt) protection through policy-driven automation, and runs inside the customer's own Kubernetes cluster. Its programmable surface is a set of Kubernetes Custom Resources (policies, restore points, backup/restore/export actions) plus an in-cluster REST API served through the K10 gateway, authenticated with Kubernetes bearer tokens. Kasten was acquired by Veeam and its brand now sits under Veeam's Kubernetes data-protection line.

Kasten is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Cybersecurity, Kubernetes, Backup, and Disaster Recovery.

Kasten’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, pricing, changelog, and 15 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/kasten: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
