Build Status

Overview

Ark gives you tools to back up and restore your Kubernetes cluster resources and persistent volumes. Ark lets you:

  • Take backups of your cluster and restore in case of loss.
  • Copy cluster resources to other clusters.
  • Replicate your production environment for development and testing environments.

Ark consists of:

  • A server that runs on your cluster
  • A command-line client that runs locally

You can run Ark in clusters on a cloud provider or on-premises. For detailed information, see Compatible Storage Providers.
