Kubernetes Data Protection WG Intro & Deep Dive

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Working Group catalogs concrete gaps and prototypes APIs: Kubernetes has volume snapshot support but lacks an export-oriented volume backup API and an efficient change block tracking (CBT) or changed-file-list mechanism so vendors otherwise do full backups; object-store backup repositories are proposed via COZY / Object Bucket Provisioning to store cluster metadata plus snapshot blobs; a volume-populator flow and Container Notifier KEP add quiesce/unquiesce hooks; GroupSnapshot and an application-backup CRD are under review; several items target alpha/beta in the 1.22–1.23 cycle and meetings run biweekly Wednesdays 9am Pacific.
