Automated Kubernetes Backups with KKP
Simple & automated way to save your data to secure locations.
KKP offers an intuitive, self-service backup and restore system, with customizable settings that allow project owners to manage their data independently.
This capability streamlines operations, strengthens disaster recovery, and simplifies cluster migration. Users can also restore backups to entirely different KKP instances, providing greater flexibility for transitions, migrations, and recovery. Additionally, the ability to selectively backup and restore specific namespaces adds further customization and control.
User-Managed Backups
Unlike the previous system, which required platform administrators to handle backups through direct access to the Kubernetes etcd database, the new solution empowers Project owners in KKP to manage all backup-related settings themselves. This decentralization enhances autonomy and reduces dependency on platform admins.
Enhanced Disaster Recovery and Migration
Leveraging Velero and the Kubernetes API, KKP's new backup system saves volumes and snapshots to custom storage locations. This flexible and reliable backup mechanism is perfect for disaster recovery and cluster migration, ensuring data integrity and seamless continuity across environments. With KKP 2.27, users can restore cluster backups to a completely different KKP instance, enabling greater flexibility for migration and disaster recovery.
Automated Backup Management
To minimize manual intervention, the new solution supports automated regular backups and the deletion of old backups. Project owners can also choose to backup and restore specific namespaces within the clusters, offering a tailored and efficient approach to data management.
Summary
Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform enhances cluster management with automated backups, giving project owners full control over their data protection. Leveraging Velero and the Kubernetes API, KKP ensures seamless backup, recovery, and migration across on-premises and cloud environments. Users can now restore cluster backups to a completely different KKP instance, providing added flexibility for disaster recovery, environment transitions, or planned migrations. The platform automates regular backups and old data deletion, optimizing efficiency and ensuring data integrity with greater resilience and operational agility.
