<p>Our product dependency on the Kubernetes cluster is growing steadily and it may well be the case that an accident might happen at any moment where the cluster/resource may be deleted by an administrator.</p>
<p>What is the easy way to <strong>back up</strong> the cluster in a way that it could be restored quickly if an unfortunate event occurs?</p>
<p>Currently, we maintain a batch script which backs up all the named resources. The CD pipelines are set from git repositories- so, recreating workloads is not the case.</p>
<p>We are worried about setting up namespaces, ingress, etc quickly.</p>

<p>Yes, use Velero ⛵⛵ formerly known as Heptio Ark. I used that 👶 in prod previously and worked pretty well.</p>
