Backups

Kubernetes clusters are backed up through Heptio Velero. As default schedule, backups are taken each night (0:00 UTC) and are retained for 14 days, however these are configurable. Backups include:

  • All defined cluster resources, encrypted and uploaded to S3
  • Snapshots of EBS-backed Persistent Volumes

You can interact with your backups by installing the velero command. Some commands to get you started (note our default schedule/backups can be found in the infrastructure namespace):

  • Configure client to use velero in the infrastructure namespace: velero client config set namespace=infrastructure
  • List backup schedules: velero schedule get
  • List available backups: velero backup get
  • Create a manual backup using the aws location: velero backup create <mybackup> --storage-location aws
  • Create a manual backup, based off our default schedule: velero backup create <mybackup> --from-schedule velero-cluster-backup
  • Describe a backup: velero backup describe <mybackup>
  • Get logs of a backup: velero backup logs <mybackup>
  • Restore a complete backup: velero restore create --from-backup <mybackup>
  • Restore a single namespace: velero restore create --from-backup <mybackup> --include-namespaces <mynamespace>
