Kanister.io: a CNCF.io Sandbox Project for Application Consistent Backups
summary
Kanister is a CNCF Sandbox controller that runs backup logic as Kubernetes CRDs and actually captures application consistency rather than just volumes, using blueprints, action sets, profiles to template and run steps. The demo shows an RDS snapshot created and RDS snapshot exported to S3, artifacts recorded as ActionSet outputs, then a restore that returns two lost rows, so the pipeline runs end to end. Helm installs the controller and blueprints run as pods.
