How to use Velero to automatically backup all the stuff you care about in your bare-metal Kubernetes cluster |
While I've been a little distracted in the last few months assembling [ElfHosted][elfhosted], the platform is now at a level of maturity which no longer requires huge amounts of my time1 . I've started "back-porting" learnings from building an open-source, public, multi-tenanted platform back into the cookbook.

The first of our imported improvements covers how to ensure that you have a trusted backup of the config and state in your cluster. Using [Velero][velero], rook-ceph, and CSI snapshots, I'm able to snapshot TBs of user data in ElfHosted for the dreaded "incase-I-screw-it-up" disaster scenario.
Check out the [Velero][velero] recipe for a detailed guide re applying the same to your cluster!
