velero VS Harbor

Openshift last I looked used Velero under the covers for the functionality, which works fine in standard kubernetes. Most if not all that Openshift does is Open source.

Valero

velero is also a popular solution to for k8s backup that is 3rd party you might check out.

Logical backups using pre and post hooks thanks to this suggestion https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/2763 working way better than kanister blueprints.

While not discounting OP or the work in this repo (seems like a fun k8s/go project), folks might check out Velero for this purpose if they're looking to rely on this kind of export in prod: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero

Hyper-V itself does not directly support backing up container-based platforms like Kubernetes clusters. To back up a Kubernetes cluster, you would typically use tools that interact with the Kubernetes API to capture the necessary data and metadata for backup purposes. Some of those tools are Velero https://velero.io/ (formerly Heptio Ark), Kasten K10, and Stash.

For Kubernetes-land, https://velero.io/ is awesome - but I haven't used it for online-database backups yet. If you're exploring, I'd checkout Velero - if you just need something to work reliably, I'd checkout Percona.

If you're looking for a backup solution for managed kubernetes, check out Velero. It is great for non-managed kube as well (but you've got other options like etcd backups)

You can also leverage https://velero.io/ to backup both cluster state and pvc state to s3

Now that you know a little more about Cosign, Notary, and DCT, we will take it one step further by using one of these tools: Cosign. For this example, we will use the simple Docker registry:2 reference image to run a simple registry. In a real-world scenario, a managed registry such as Harbor, Amazon ECR, Docker Hub, etc.

Have a look at harbor, you can also use it to follow the same methods for helm charts etc.

Or for something more advanced https://goharbor.io/

Look at https://goharbor.io/

You can host your own image repo if your feeling feisty. Harbor is a graduated project from the CNCF and they are also working on a new implementation called Dragonfly. https://goharbor.io/

Does anybody know whether there could be something like an open/libre container registry?

Maybe the cloud native foundation or the linux foundation could provide something like this to prevent vendor lock-ins?

I was coincidentially trying out harbor again over the last days, and it seems nice as a managed or self-hosted alternative. [1] after some discussions we probably gonna go with that, because we want to prevent another potential lock-in with sonarpoint's nexus.

Does anybody have similar migration plans?
