Enterprises seeking a solution to backup and migrate Kubernetes resources and persistent volumes

About Velero

Velero is an open source tool to safely backup and restore, perform disaster recovery, and migrate Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Reduces time to recovery in case of infrastructure loss, data corruption, and/or service outages. Enables cluster portability by easily migrating Kubernetes resources from one cluster to another​. Offers key data protection features such as scheduled backups, retention schedules, and pre or post-backup hooks for custom actions. Backup your Kubernetes resources and volumes for an entire cluster, or part of a cluster by using namespaces or label selectors. Set schedules to automatically kickoff backups at recurring intervals. Configure pre and post-backup hooks to perform custom operations before and after Velero backups. Velero is released as open source software and provides community support through our GitHub project page.

In the past, ITOps and DevOps have found it hard to add replicated storage to Kubernetes clusters. As a result many non-cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters don’t support persistent storage. External storage arrays are non-portable and can be extremely expensive. Longhorn delivers simplified, easy to deploy and upgrade, 100% open source, cloud-native persistent block storage without the cost overhead of open core or proprietary alternatives. Longhorn’s built-in incremental snapshot and backup features keep the volume data safe in or out of the Kubernetes cluster. Scheduled backups of persistent storage volumes in Kubernetes clusters is simplified with Longhorn’s intuitive, free management UI. External replication solutions will recover from a disk failure by re-replicating the entire data store. This can take days, during which time the cluster performs poorly and has a higher risk of failure.
