Kubernetes Backups, Upgrades, Migrations - with Velero

In todays episode we will be taking a look at a tool that can help you migrate, backup and restore kubernetes clusters. Velero is really handy for upgrading clusters by taking backups and restoring those onto newer versions of Kubernetes.

I would love to see a video with Velero and persistent storage!

[George-mklp]

if it would be up to me, I'd give this guy a noble prize. his tutorials are immortal

I am interested in the video with Velero backup the persistent storage!

[nazg]

Great video!!!
I would also love to see Velero backing up PVs. I have all my definitions already automated so in case of a cluster disaster I can just quickly re-deploy all my k8s objects really fast. So This kind of backup is quite useful to quickly restore everything, but not so critical for many k8s users. The main problem is always Persistence.

Backing up persistent storage is the reason I ended up watching this great video. Please make another one on persistent storage in AWS 🙏🏻

I love Velero! I use k3s on-prem and it all works like a charm, but Longhorn seems to have some bug and fails to restore backups from s3/nfs of stateful apps, DB-enabled specifically. Velero with "use-restic" and proper namespace annotations work like a charm restoring EVERYTHING I need! and I can also schedule backups! SWEET!

Thx for cool educational videos. Awesome work.

OMG, Your demos gives me braingasm. I will really love to see the persistent stotage Demo.
Thanks a lot!

According to me one should only be backing up persistent volumes.The stateless config (i.e. deployments / services / configmaps etc.) should be saved as yamls in a git repo (or secret management tool in case of secrets)
When you want to clone a cluster, just create a new cluster. Install argocd (or gitops of your choice), point it to your gitops repo and let it restore everything.

It would be interesting with PV, thanks for your video =)

[magesh]

Also interested in seeing velero with PV

[xinitbm]

Thank you very much for this content. Love to see about backup & restore a statefulset with its related persistent volumes.

[ahmedahdarf]

I love you to make a video with Velero backup( the persistent storage, statefull apps migration between cluster k8S )!

[emanuelgrama]

I would really like to see a video on Velero with persistent storage

[alamanro]

Thank You Very Much, Please do video on Velero backup/restore on Statefulsets

[moustafakamal]

Thank you! I'm interested as well about the persistent storage video! :)

[silentwatcher]

informative as usual ✌🏼.. keep spreading the light of wisdom brother 👏🏼🙂

[defiledatheart]

please make a Velero backup & restore vide with persistent workloads as well :)

[RDarrylR]

Another very detailed and useful video. Thanks again!
