Heptio Ark

Maintainers: Heptio

Overview

Ark gives you tools to back up and restore your Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Ark lets you:

• Take backups of your cluster and restore in case of loss.
• Copy cluster resources to other clusters.
• Replicate your production environment for development and testing environments.

Ark consists of:

• A server that runs on your cluster
• A command-line client that runs locally

You can run Ark in clusters on a cloud provider or on-premises. For detailed information, see Compatible Storage Providers.
