Backup and restore options

Common configuration file section: .spec.backup

• Use storage_provider.external_options.external_credentials_secret_name instead of storage_provider.external_options.credentials_file_path and storage_provider.external_options.credentials_file_profile, with the name of the secret that contains external storage provider credentials.

• Replace Back up using an external storage provider steps 5-7 with the following:

  5. Create the secret object with credentials in the k0rdent namespace where the MkeChildConfig object will be applied:

      kubectl -n k0rdent create secret generic aws-credentials --from-literal=aws_access_key_id=<AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID> --from-literal=aws_secret_access_key=<AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>

  6. Set the storage_provider section of the MkeChildConfig configuration file, adding the name of the secret with IAM credentials:

       spec:
         backup:
           storage_provider:
             type: External
             external_options:
               provider: aws
               bucket: <BUCKET_NAME>
               region: <BUCKET_REGION>
               external_credentials_secret_name: aws-credentials

  7. Apply the configuration:

     kubectl apply -f mkechildconfig.yaml
