About Velero
Velero backs up and restores Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes, and recovers a cluster after loss. It migrates cluster resources between clusters and replicates a production cluster to development and testing clusters.
Velero runs as a server on the cluster with a command-line client that runs locally. It works with a public cloud platform or on-premises, and supports IPv4, IPv6, and dual stack environments. Compatibility is tested across Kubernetes versions per release.
Formerly Heptio Ark, Velero is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation sandbox project under LF Projects. It is licensed under Apache 2.0 and ships as software that runs in your cluster rather than a hosted service.
