Veeam Kasten v9.0 And Red Hat: Deeper Integration For The Workloads That Matter Most To You
Veeam, Wednesday, July 15th, 2026
Kasten v9.0 adds changed block tracking, label-based VM policies, and ACM dashboard integration for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization.
Veeam details four capabilities in Kasten v9.0 aimed at protecting OpenShift Virtualization at enterprise scale.
Preview support for Changed Block Tracking enables delta-only incremental backups instead of full VM image copies, materially shrinking backup windows for large KubeVirt estates.
Label-based VM policies automatically enroll workloads by Kubernetes label, removing manual assignment and closing coverage gaps as environments change during migration.
Fleet-wide backup compliance now surfaces directly inside Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management, so administrators avoid managing each cluster in a separate console.
Kasten pods also ship with hardened defaults meeting the NIST 800-190 baseline, running with restricted permissions that match production workload security postures.
