Introduction

Bucket files can be synchronized in a Kubernetes cluster as Kubernetes objects using the bucket-to-kubernetes plugin.

Synchronization process

Special rules

There are no special rules for this synchronization plugin.

Blacklisted objects

There are some Kubernetes objects that are blacklisted by default and will be ignored by the synchronization process.

This is the list of the blacklisted objects:

• Namespaces which name starts with kube- or openshift , an the Namespace resiliency-operator.
• All namespaced objects inside a blacklisted Namespace.
• ConfigMaps named kube-root-ca.crt or openshift-service-ca.crt.

Objects path

The files from the bucket will be read as Kubernetes objectsfrom files with the following path: <group>.<version>.<kind>/<object_namespace>.<object_name>.

Examples:

• The Namespace named test will be saved in the file core.v1.Namespace/test.
• The Deployment named app-1 deployed in the test Namespace will be saved in the file apps.v1.Deployment/test.app-1.

Use cases

Backup restore
