Plakar for AWS
Cloud-Native Resilience
Agentless & Zero-Trust
Protect your AWS buckets and resources without deploying agents. Manage your resilience from within your VPC, but keep the freedom to replicate copies outside of AWS for a bulletproof disaster recovery strategy.
Shipped as a Hardened AMI
Skip the configuration hell. Plakar Enterprise is delivered as a production-ready, immutable Amazon Machine Image designed for Zero-Trust VPCs. Launch. Connect. Secure.
Native AWS Marketplace
Deploy directly into your private subnet from the AWS Marketplace. No EC2 configuration, no manual OS installation, no dependency management.
Immutable Linux OS
Runs on a stripped-down, read-only Linux kernel. SSH disabled by default, no package managers, no drift. Updates are atomic and cryptographically signed.
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
The AMI acts as a Blind Proxy inside your VPC. It orchestrates snapshots to S3/Glacier, but encryption keys remain with the source agents.
Stop Managing Backup Agents
Discovery and protection happen at the API level. Plakar connects directly to your AWS resources using native data streams. No agents to install, update, or debug on your instances.
Auto-Discovery
Automatically detects new buckets and resources across your accounts and regions.
Native AWS Objects Support
Seamlessly back up S3 buckets and cloud-native assets without complex scripting.
Zero Impact
Perform backups without consuming CPU or RAM on your production workloads.
Enterprise-Grade Management
Full visibility and control over your AWS resilience strategy.
Unified Posture Dashboard
Aggregates metadata from all AWS regions into a single pane of glass. Visualize protection status and storage consumption in real-time.
Policy-Driven Orchestration
Define SLA and retention policies globally. The orchestrator handles scheduling and alerts you immediately if a backup job misses its window.
Advanced RBAC & Multi-Tenancy
Create isolated environments for different teams. Define granular roles (Admin, Operator, Viewer) to enforce least-privilege access.
AWS Secrets Manager Ready
Native integration with AWS Secrets Manager. The appliance orchestrates backups but secrets are managed by your existing cloud infrastructure.
Simple Licensing, Premium Support
One simple license for the AMI. Includes priority support from the core engineering team. License costs are negligible compared to storage savings.
Military Grade Security
Reduce your attack surface by utilizing AWS IAM roles. Plakar integrates natively with your VPC security groups and IAM policies.

"You don't have to trust your storage provider."
Drastically Reduce Resource Usage
Security usually implies a "storage tax". Plakar reverses the math. By performing deduplication and compression at the source, we slash both network API calls and storage footprints.
Network & Egress Costs
Replicating backups to another region or cloud provider usually triggers massive Egress fees. Plakar sends only deduplicated chunks, reducing these costs by up to 90%.
Direct-to-Glacier
Native snapshots often trap data in expensive tiers. Plakar writes directly to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval or Deep Archive, bypassing standard storage costs.
Designed for modern cloud infrastructure
Automate your protection workflows with simple CLI and API integration, perfect for GitOps and CI/CD pipelines.
CLI & API Friendly
Built for DevOps teams. Automate backups or run them manually with simple, powerful commands from your EC2 instances.
Cross-Cloud Ready
Works everywhere. Replicate your AWS S3 backups to on-premise NAS or another cloud provider for a bulletproof exit strategy.
Network Agnostic
Push, pull, or bidirectional — Plakar handles sync even across VPC peering or between isolated cloud regions.
