Backup & Restore Persistent Volumes
Stash by AppsCode is a Kubernetes operator to backup & restore Persistent Volumes. If you are running production workloads in Kubernetes, you might want to take backup of your disks. Traditional tools are too complex to setup and maintain in a dynamic compute environment like Kubernetes. restic is a backup program that is fast, efficient and secure with few moving parts. Stash is a CRD controller for Kubernetes built around restic to address these issues. Using Stash, you can backup Kubernetes volumes mounted in following types of workloads:
- Deployment
- DaemonSet
- ReplicaSet
- ReplicationController
- StatefulSet
Features
- Fast, secure, efficient backup of any kubernetes volumes.
- Automates configuration of
resticfor periodic backup. - Store backed up files in various cloud storage provider, including S3, GCS, Azure, OpenStack Swift, DigitalOcean Spaces etc.
- Restore backup easily in any cluster on any cloud provider.
- Periodically check integrity of backed up data.
- Take backup in offline mode.
- Support workload initializer for faster backup.
- Prometheus ready metrics for backup process.
