​​More and more often I bump into articles about Kubernetes backups.

So, I decided to pull my old draft and make it an article. Actually, a series of 3 articles. Although, only the first part is ready yet.

So, the first one is just a brief overview of Velero (former Heptio Ark). A tool I used for backing up Kubernetes objects.

The second part would contain some general opinions on Kubernetes backups. And lastly, the third part would be about managing clusters as cattle, what it takes and what are the pitfalls of such an approach.

Obviously, I won't promise when Part II and III will come out.

I re-designed my blog not just for the sake of re-designing. At least, I hope so.

So, here is a new article from a wannabe series about Kubernetes.

This series started with a review of Velero backup tool. Now, I want to extend this topic a bit and share my thoughts on whether it makes sense to back up a Kubernetes cluster at all.


P.S. This is the last technical article in my blog this year. I usually do a generic recap of the year, but haven't done one yet. Also, this is the last post in CatOps channel this year.

Wish y'all reliability during the festive season and only five nines in the new year!
