[ Kube 45 ] Velero - Backup & Restore Kubernetes Cluster

In this Video, I will show you how to backup and/or restore your Kubernetes cluster using an open source project Velero.

Velero (formerly Heptio Ark) gives you tools to back up and restore your Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Velero lets you:
- Take backups of your cluster and restore in case of loss.
- Copy cluster resources to other clusters.
- Replicate your production environment for development and testing environments.

Velero consists of:
- A server that runs on your cluster
- A command-line client that runs locally

Cluster Migration using velero:-
- need 2 cluster
- create namespace in cluster 1
- install velero server on cluster1 and take backup of namespace from cluster1
- now install velero server with same minio credentials and endpoint on cluster 2
- check velero backup available on cluster2 which we created on cluster1
- now restore backup on cluster2
- on cluster2 namaspace is available
Migration completed

Thanks for this video..I'am new to devops and want to switch job in devops position, but its getting very difficult for me to prepare for technical interviews since I dont have real time experience of devops culture and work. I would be very grateful to you if you would provide some overview of how to prepare for devops technical interview.What should be the preparation areas..topics to cover..not the technicalities or technical details but the overall idea of how should be the preparation points and topics. It would be a much help.

Many many Thankyou in advance.

The idea migrate cluster very cool, i really need it, hope you spend time to do it.

Hi venkat. Excellent content and presentation. Can you please do a demo for back up and restore of pv? Preferably mongodb replicas. Is that possible in Valero?

[vivekb]

Thanks for the wonderful video. Is there any way we can configure local back-up storage for Velero instead of AWS, Azure or GCP..?

[shirishbhalekar]

Nice Video and good information for starting...

[ashishkarpe]

Very Helpful video scenario is we want to shutdown/delete eks cluster for a few months and then restore back (until then we won't have any eks cluster to store backup endpoints or objects) so will this help me if not please can you suggest alternative

Hi Venkat, the video is super useful and very clear about instructions.
I have AWS EKS deployed through rancher and AWS EFS as persistent volumes.
Could you please share the insights to perform backups and restores. This video is not covering persistent volumes though, great thanks in anticipation.

[PanayiotisSavva]

Awesome dude. I have learned so much from you. Do you have a video for Velero and PVC backup and restore?

[saveriodelprete]

You talk about a kaind setup done in a previous video, which one are you referring to?

[nikhilpatel]

Awesome! It has helped a lot! Can you please create some more content around this like back-up and restore using snapshots. Keep teaching the world! :-)

[Sayonson]

Great efforts!!!Thank you for the video!!! How to perform reliable backups of any persistent state ?
