We're working on our first Velero release and instructions for migrating your Ark deployments to Velero. Stay tuned!
Velero gives you tools to back up and restore your Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Velero lets you:
- Take backups of your cluster and restore in case of loss.
- Copy cluster resources to other clusters.
- Replicate your production environment for development and testing environments.
Velero consists of:
- A server that runs on your cluster
- A command-line client that runs locally
You can run Velero in clusters on a cloud provider or on-premises. For detailed information, see Compatible Storage Providers.
We strongly recommend that you use an official release of Velero. The tarballs for each release contain the command-line client and version-specific sample YAML files for deploying Velero to your cluster. Follow the instructions under the Install section of our documentation to get started.
The code and sample YAML files in the master branch of the Velero repository are under active development and are not guaranteed to be stable. Use them at your own risk!
The documentation provides a getting started guide, plus information about building from source, architecture, extending Velero, and more.
Please use the version selector at the top of the site to ensure you are using the appropriate documentation for your version of Velero.
If you encounter issues, review the troubleshooting docs, file an issue, or talk to us on the #velero channel on the Kubernetes Slack server.
