Prioritizing microservices on a container platform for a restore operation

摘要

Systems and methods for discovering applications. An application may be discovered by determining a topology of the application in a containerized platform. Discovering the topology may include determining the components of the application and then determining relationships between the components. The relationships may include whether a component (e.g., a microservice) is user facing and may be based on traffic patterns between the components. The components or microservices may be prioritized or ranked based on the topology. The topology can be used when performing a data protection operation such as a restore operation.
