Velero is an open-source tool (formerly Heptio Ark) that backs up and restores Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes, supporting disaster recovery, data migration between clusters, and scheduled data protection. It consists of a server that runs in the cluster and a local command-line client, and works with public cloud platforms or on-premises.
Use cases
- back up kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes
- restore a kubernetes cluster after data loss or outage
- migrate kubernetes workloads to another cluster
- set up scheduled backups with retention policies
- replicate a production cluster to dev and test environments
- perform disaster recovery for kubernetes applications
When to choose
- you need kubernetes-native backup and restore of cluster resources and PVs
- you want disaster recovery with reduced time to recovery for cluster outages
- you need to migrate or replicate workloads across clusters or cloud providers
- you want scheduled backups, hooks, and volume snapshot support
When to avoid
- you only need to back up data outside of Kubernetes (plain databases, VMs, bare files)
- you need full disk/image-level backups of the underlying nodes
- you run workloads outside Kubernetes entirely
