Having difficulty to find a proper tool or combination of tools in order to safely create selective backups of resources in EKS.
Valero seems to be a good option. It is not clear how the PVC snapshots are performed and if they can be performed directly by Valero or it requires a special drive to be attached as available storageclass. In this case if there is already production in place it requires surgical integrations and potential data loss to just replace storage class of all already deployed services with PVC usage.
Volume Snapshot Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and Volume Snapshot controller seem to work manually without being able to use the solution out of the box. This requires probably some POD cronjob that has access to all storageclasses available through serviceaccount injection. This seems that is a best fit if there are engineers that will perform snaps before upgrades or migrations.
Does anybody else have experience with other opensource tools that provide all above functionality and offer a simple UI to preview all backups and select storage platform for snaps?
Thanks in advance
