What is the proper, kubernetes native way of working with multiple clusters for DR, HA?
2 projects | /r/kubernetes | 7 Jul 2023

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.

velero is also a popular solution to for k8s backup that is 3rd party you might check out.
Ask r/kubernetes: What are you working on this week?
1 project | /r/kubernetes | 12 Jun 2023

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.
Tool for dumping manifests from your Kubernetes clusters
3 projects | /r/kubernetes | 1 Jun 2023

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
Kubernetes Backup & Restore - Recommended options?

Hyper-v backup for Kubernetes cluster
1 project | /r/HyperV | 24 May 2023

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.
Kubernetes postgres backups
4 projects | /r/kubernetes | 20 May 2023

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.
EKS Etcd Backup
1 project | /r/kubernetes | 2 May 2023

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)
