About:
Velero is a command-line tool and server-side component for backing up and restoring Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. It integrates with supported storage providers to save cluster state and volume data, enabling point-in-time recovery. Its primary value is safeguarding against accidental deletion, cluster corruption, or migration scenarios.
Key Features:
  • Scheduled cluster backups with configurable retention
  • Volume snapshot integration with cloud storage providers
  • Restore to same or different clusters, including namespace remapping
  • Plugins architecture for extensible backup and storage support
Use Cases:
  • Disaster recovery for Kubernetes clusters
  • Cluster migration across cloud providers or regions
  • Application-level backup and restore workflows
Alternatives:
  • kube-backup – Simpler, git-based resource backup without volume snapshots
  • stash – Application-aware backups with broader workload support
