An open source, disaster-recovery, Kubernetes project that backs up, and restores, etcd cluster data.
Welcome to KubeDR!
Kubernetes stores all the cluster data (such as resource specs) in
etcd. The KubeDR project implements data
protection for this data. In addition, certificates can be backed up
as well but that is optional.
The project is currently in Alpha state and hence is not meant for
production use.
There are projects and products that backup application data (stored
in Persistent Volumes) but there is no project that provides same
first class backup support for the very important Kubernetes cluster
data stored in etcd.
For sure, there are recipes on how to take etcd snapshot but the
KubeDR project from
Catalogic Software
aims to provide complete end to end data protection for Kubernetes
data stored in etcd. In addition, this project will backup
certificates as well so if a master needs to be rebuilt, all the data
is available.
Here is a list of high level features provided by KubeDR. For more
details, please see
User Guide.
The following list shows many items that are planned for
KubeDR. Some of them are improvements while others are new
features.
We use Sphinx for docs. Source

We would love to hear feedback from our users. Please feel free to open
issues for bugs as well as for any feature requests.
For any questions and discussions, please join us over at our Google Group:
kubedr-discuss.
Please note that the project is in Alpha so there may be many
corner cases where things may not work as expected. We are actively
working on fixing any bugs and on adding new features.
