CCE Backup Controller Description
Updated at:2025-10-27
Component introduction
A cluster extension component built on the open-source Velero, offering capabilities for resource backup and recovery.
Component function
Provides backup and recovery for applications (resource YAMLs) within the cluster via Velero, securely storing backup data in a specified Baidu AI Cloud Object Storage (BOS) bucket.
Application scenarios
- Backup and recovery: Quickly restore services using backup data when K8S resources under a cluster or namespace are accidentally deleted.
- Service migration: Facilitates the rapid transfer of backed-up services from a source cluster to a target cluster. (Not supported temporarily; stay tuned for updates.)
- Service compliance: Collaborates with security teams to regularly retrieve backup data for audit purposes.
Limitations
- Supports only Kubernetes clusters of version 1.20 or higher.
- When backing up an application, any resources being deleted will not be included in the backup.
