Azure Backup
now provides a simplified experience to configure backup for Azure
Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters using a single Azure CLI command.
Enabling
backup for AKS clusters through CLI requires multiple manual steps, including
installation of the Backup extension, provisioning of storage resources,
creation of backup vaults and policies, enabling Trusted Access between the
cluster and vault, and initialization of the backup instance.
To simplify
this backup configuration, Microsoft provides an alternate approach to enable
backup protection for an AKS cluster by running a single command.
This command
automatically performs the required configuration workflow by:
- Installing the Backup extension (if
required)
- Creating or reusing backup storage
resources
- Creating or reusing a backup vault
and policy
- Enabling Trusted Access between the
backup vault and AKS cluster
- Initializing and creating the backup
instance
You can
optionally provide a backup configuration file to use existing backup vaults,
policies, or storage accounts during configuration.
