Back up and restore your Amazon EKS cluster resources using Velero

In this post, you’ll learn to back up and restore Amazon EKS cluster resources and persistent volume data using Velero. You’ll deploy a sample stateful application, back it up, and restore it to a different namespace within the same cluster. Along the way, you’ll configure least-privilege AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) roles using Amazon EKS Pod Identity and scope Velero’s Kubernetes permissions with a custom ClusterRole.
