A tool that can be used to backup and restore workloads on clusters provisioned by the VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service is the Velero Plugin for VMware vSphere. The Velero Plugin for VMware vSphere is an extension of Velero, an open source tool that performs backup and restore of Kubernetes resources and persistent volumes5. The plugin leverages the snapshot capabilities of vSphere to create backups of Kubernetes workloads running on vSphere-managed infrastructure, such as VMware Cloud on AWS or VMware Cloud on Dell EMC5. The plugin also supports restoring backups to the same or different clusters, as well as migrating workloads across clusters5.

Cluster API is a Kubernetes project that provides declarative APIs for cluster creation, configuration, and management. Cluster API uses a set of custom resource definitions (CRDs) to represent clusters, machines, and other objects. Cluster API also relies on providers to implement the logic for interacting with different infrastructure platforms. VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid uses Cluster API to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters on various platforms. The three Cluster API providers being used in VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid are:

• CAPZ: Cluster API Provider for Azure. This provider enables Cluster API to create Kubernetes clusters on Microsoft Azure4.
• CAPV: Cluster API Provider for vSphere. This provider enables Cluster API to create Kubernetes clusters on vSphere 6.7 or later5.
• CAPA: Cluster API Provider for AWS. This provider enables Cluster API to create Kubernetes clusters on Amazon Web Services5.

A Container Storage Interface (CSI) in VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid is a plug-in that allows providers to expose storage as persistent storage for Kubernetes clusters. CSI is a standard interface that defines an abstraction layer for container orchestrators to work with storageproviders3. VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid supports StorageClass objects for different storage types, provisioned by Kubernetes internal (“in-tree”) or external (“out-of-tree”) plug-ins. Two of the supported storage types are vSphere Cloud Native Storage (CNS) and Amazon EBS, which use the vSphere CSI driver and the AWS EBS CSI driver respectively4.
