How do I back up Kubernetes workloads for disaster recovery?▼

Back up Kubernetes workloads for disaster recovery using Velero to capture namespaces, deployments, and persistent volumes. This enables you to restore entire namespaces or specific resources to a previous state during DR events.

What is the best way to migrate workloads between Kubernetes clusters?▼

Migrate workloads between Kubernetes clusters by creating DR-ready backups with Velero and executing restore workflows in the target cluster. This reduces downtime and risk during the migration process.

Can I restore specific Kubernetes resources instead of a whole namespace?▼

Yes, you can restore specific Kubernetes resources to a previous state using Velero. The skill allows you to restore entire namespaces or target individual resources within your cluster.

Do I need Velero installed to back up Kubernetes namespaces?▼

Yes, Velero must be installed to back up Kubernetes namespaces. You also need access to cluster resources and the required permissions to create, list, and restore backups successfully.

How do I back up Kubernetes persistent volumes during a cluster upgrade?▼

Back up Kubernetes persistent volumes during a cluster upgrade by utilizing Velero to capture the production namespace data. This protects your stateful applications and allows rapid restoration if the upgrade fails.
