Velero Schedules

This directory contains common velero resources, schedules.

Common resources

• Full Backup Schedule
• Manifests Only Schedule

Important

This directory does not provide any functionality by itself. Please refer to the different Velero deployment options:

• Velero AWS
• Velero GCP
• Velero Azure
• Velero on prem

These deployments can use this base to deploy pre-configure velero schedules.

Requirement

The full backup Schedule requires to have defined:

• default VolumeSnapshotLocation in the kube-system namespace.

The manifest backup Schedule requires to have defined:

• default BackupStorageLocation in the kube-system namespace.

Default VolumeSnapshotLocation

As this base creates a Schedule it's required to have a VolumeSnapshotLocation named default to automate the full backup creation.

This module provides a set of terraform modules (aws, gcp and azure) that creates it as terraform output:

Example GCP VolumeSnapshotLocation

$ terraform init
$ terraform apply
$ terraform output -raw volume_snapshot_location > /tmp/volume_snapshot_location.yaml
$ cat /tmp/volume_snapshot_location.yaml
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: VolumeSnapshotLocation
metadata:
  name: default
spec:
  provider: velero.io/gcp

Then you are ready to apply this file in the kube-system namespace:

$ kubectl apply -f /tmp/volume_snapshot_location.yaml -n kube-system
# omitted output

Default BackupStorageLocation

As this base creates a Schedule it's required to have a BackupStorageLocation named default to automate the manifests backup creation.

This module provides a set of terraform modules (aws, gcp and azure) that creates it as terraform output:

Example GCP BackupStorageLocation

$ terraform init
# omitted output
$ terraform apply
# omitted output
$ terraform output -raw backup_storage_location > /tmp/backup_storage_location.yaml
# omitted output
$ cat /tmp/backup_storage_location.yaml
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: BackupStorageLocation
metadata:
  name: default
spec:
  provider: velero.io/gcp
  objectStorage:
    bucket: my-gcs-velero-bucket
    prefix: velero

Then you are ready to apply this file in the kube-system namespace:

$ kubectl apply -f /tmp/backup_storage_location.yaml -n kube-system
# omitted output

If you choose to deploy the velero on prem package, this resource is preconfigured in the cluster.
