Data backup in container management frameworks
In some examples, a cluster protection system comprises at least one processor and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising identifying a target cluster or an object in a container management framework, identifying application data and metadata associated with the target cluster or the object, generating a first snapshot of the target cluster or the object, the first snapshot including at least the metadata, storing the first snapshot in offsite cloud storage, generating a second snapshot of the target cluster, the second snapshot including at least the application data, and storing the second snapshot in a persistent volume in onsite storage.
1. A method, comprising:
identifying a target cluster comprising one or more containers in a container management framework;
identifying application data and metadata associated with the one or more containers in the target cluster;
generating, at the target cluster, a first snapshot of the target cluster, the first snapshot including at least the metadata associated with the one or more containers;
storing the first snapshot in offsite cloud storage by moving the generated first snapshot from the target cluster to the offsite cloud storage;
generating, at the target cluster, a second snapshot of the target cluster, the second snapshot different from the first snapshot and including at least the application data associated with the one or more containers; and
storing the second snapshot in a persistent volume in onsite storage by moving the generated second snapshot from the target cluster to the persistent volume in the onsite storage.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first snapshot further comprises resource data.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a resource to which the resource data relates includes a cluster controller.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the cluster controller controls a pod of containers.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first snapshot further comprises a cluster configuration.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first snapshot further comprises a persistent volume claim (PVC).
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a restore request for the target cluster and, based on the received restore request, restoring the target cluster using the first snapshot and the second snapshot.
8. A system, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations, comprising:
identifying a target cluster comprising one or more containers in a container management framework;
identifying application data and metadata associated with the one or more containers in the target cluster;
generating, at the target cluster, a first snapshot of the target cluster, the first snapshot including at least the metadata associated with the one or more containers;
storing the first snapshot in offsite cloud storage by moving the generated first snapshot from the target cluster to the offsite cloud storage;
generating, at the target cluster, a second snapshot of the target cluster, the second snapshot different from the first snapshot and including at least the application data associated with the one or more containers; and
storing the second snapshot in a persistent volume in onsite storage by moving the generated second snapshot from the target cluster to the persistent volume in the onsite storage.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first snapshot further comprises resource data.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein a resource to which the resource data relates includes a cluster controller.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the cluster controller controls a pod of containers.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first snapshot further comprises a cluster configuration.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first snapshot further comprises a persistent volume claim (PVC).
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a restore request for the target cluster and, based on the received restore request, restoring the target cluster using the first snapshot and the second snapshot.
15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable to perform operations, comprising:
identifying a target cluster comprising one or more containers in a container management framework;
identifying application data and metadata associated with the one or more containers in the target cluster;
generating, at the target cluster, a first snapshot of the target cluster, the first snapshot including at least the metadata associated with the one or more containers;
storing the first snapshot in offsite cloud storage by moving the generated first snapshot from the target cluster to the offsite cloud storage;
generating, at the target cluster, a second snapshot of the target cluster, the second snapshot different from the first snapshot and including at least the application data associated with the one or more containers; and
storing the second snapshot in a persistent volume in onsite storage by moving the generated second snapshot from the target cluster to the persistent volume in the onsite storage.
16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first snapshot further comprises resource data.
17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein a resource to which the resource data relates includes a cluster controller.
18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the cluster controller controls a pod of containers.
19. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the first snapshot further comprises a cluster configuration.
20. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first snapshot further comprises a persistent volume claim (PVC).
