Backups

We're using Ark for backing up Kubernetes config and GKE resources. It is available as a Git submodule in the vendor/ folder (incl. the ark executable).

In order to initialize submodules in your local repo, run once:

git submodule init

Then, to fetch/update the modules, run:

git submodule update

The Ark service is running on the Sidamo cluster and was set up using the official docs' GCP instructions and config files.

Backup location

Cluster configuration (including all live resources) is backed up to a Google Cloud Storage container.

Persistent volumes

Persistent volumes are just GCE disks. Thus, with the current config, Ark creates volume snapshots as native GCE disk snapshots.
