Velero AWS

This Velero deployment is ready to be deployed in any AWS cluster as it includes the AWS Velero plugin.

Image repository and tag

• Velero AWS Plugin image: velero/velero-plugin-for-aws:v1.11.0
• Velero AWS Plugin repository: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero-plugin-for-aws.

Requirements

This deployment requires to have previously created the following resources:

• cloud-credentials Kubernetes Secret in the kube-system namespace.
• default BackupStorageLocation in the kube-system namespace.

Cloud Credentials

This Fury Core module contains a terraform module designed to generate every file needed by this deployment including the Cloud Credentials file.

$ terraform init
# omitted output
$ terraform apply
# omitted output
$ terraform output -raw cloud_credentials > /tmp/cloud_credentials.yaml
# omitted output

Then you are ready to apply this file in the kube-system namespace:

$ kubectl apply -f /tmp/cloud_credentials.yaml -n kube-system
secret/cloud-credentials created

Default BackupStorageLocation

As this deployment creates a Schedule it's required to have a BackupStorageLocation named default to automate the manifests backup creation.

Again, the terraform module provided with this deployment creates it as terraform output:

$ terraform init
$ terraform apply
$ terraform output -raw backup_storage_location > /tmp/backup_storage_location.yaml
$ cat /tmp/backup_storage_location.yaml
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: BackupStorageLocation
metadata:
  name: default
spec:
  provider: velero.io/aws
  objectStorage:
    bucket: bucket-name-storing-kubernetes-manifests
  config:
    region: aws-region-10

Then you are ready to apply this file in the kube-system namespace:

$ kubectl apply -f /tmp/backup_storage_location.yaml -n kube-system
# omitted output

Deployment

You can deploy Velero AWS by running the following command in the root of this project:

$ kustomize build | kubectl apply -f -
# omitted output
