SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually configuring GKE backup plans and restore workflows for stateful workloads is time-consuming and error-prone, putting critical cluster data at risk of permanent loss during outages, misconfigurations, or disasters.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scheduled Backup Plan Configuration: Set up automated GKE backups with custom retention periods, cron schedules, and namespace scoping to protect stateful application data.
  • Restore Workflow Setup: Create restore plans with configurable conflict resolution policies and execute targeted restores to recover GKE clusters after data loss or outages.
  • Use Case: An SRE managing a production GKE cluster running stateful applications can use this skill to implement a compliant backup and disaster recovery strategy that meets organizational RTO and RPO requirements.

Quick Start

Use the gke-backup-dr skill to configure a scheduled backup plan for your GKE cluster's production namespace with 7-day retention and a daily backup schedule, plus a matching restore plan for your disaster recovery cluster.
