Backup and Restore
This section explains how to back up and restore Virtana Platform data and Kubernetes resources so you can recover from accidental deletion, a failed upgrade, or a cluster failure. All three guides use Velero, but each targets a different environment.
K8s backup and restore on AWS
Uses Velero with an AWS S3 bucket and volume snapshots to back up and restore namespaces in a Kubernetes cluster running on AWS. You can back up an application namespace to S3, then restore it after an accidental deletion or a failed upgrade. See Backup and restore on AWS for details.
OpenShift backup and restore with OADP
Uses the OpenShift API for Data Protection (OADP) operator, OpenShift's Velero-based data protection, to back up and restore workloads on an OpenShift cluster. You can protect an OpenShift project and its persistent volumes so you can recover them after a cluster issue. See OpenShift Backup and Restore with OAPD for details.
K8s cluster backup and restore with Velero
Uses Velero to back up and restore resources on a standard or on-premises Kubernetes cluster, typically with S3-compatible storage such as MinIO. You can back up an on-premises cluster's namespaces to local S3-compatible storage and restore them on the same or a new cluster. See Backup and Restore in a Kubernetes Cluster with Velero for details.
