Lightningat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Tuesday, 2025-04-01· at 13:54· Platinum Suite | Level 3·
summary
Kanister is a CNCF Sandbox project that provides a Helm-installable controller and three CRDs — Blueprint CRD, ActionSet CRD and Profile CRD — to orchestrate application-consistent backups for stateful Kubernetes apps. It publishes example blueprints for databases and vector stores, supports multi-target exports (S3, NFS, cross-cluster with immutability and per-target retention), and tracks running jobs and status. The project is production-proven since 2017 and is adding vector DB support, performance optimizations, and security hardening.
