Cluster protection system for container management snapshots
The patent US12045139B2 outlines a method and system for managing containerized applications within a container management framework. The process begins with identifying a target cluster that contains one or more containers, followed by the identification of associated application data and metadata. The method involves generating two distinct snapshots of the target cluster: the first snapshot captures metadata and is stored in offsite cloud storage, while the second snapshot includes application data and is stored in a persistent volume onsite. Additionally, the first snapshot may encompass resource data, cluster configurations, and persistent volume claims (PVCs). The system is designed to facilitate the restoration of the target cluster upon receiving a restore request, utilizing both snapshots.
The claims also detail the components of the system, which includes at least one processor and memory that stores executable instructions for performing the outlined operations. The system is capable of identifying the target cluster and its associated data, generating the necessary snapshots, and managing their storage in both offsite and onsite locations. Furthermore, the claims specify that the first snapshot may include resource data related to a cluster controller, which manages a pod of containers. This comprehensive approach to snapshot generation and storage aims to enhance the reliability and efficiency of container management, ensuring that critical application data and configurations are preserved and can be restored as needed.
