Discussion Topics

[brito-rafa]
Handling multiple API Group versions during restore (related to PR #2373)
Default (today)
Restore Source Cluster Preferred Version
Target-Version Mode (proposed - feature flag?)
Triggered by detection the target cluster runs a different K8s version from the source backup cluster (see PR #2346 collecting cluster k8s version during backup). Restore objects based on target cluster apiGroup preferred version.
Next step: Please look at the PR, and then Rafael will put together a design proposal
