etcdbackup

Scheduled etcd backup job configuration.

Deployment Scope

  • Cluster scope: global or site
  • Values keys: global.etcdbackup, site.etcdbackup
  • ArgoCD Application template: charts/argocd-understack/templates/application-etcdbackup.yaml

How ArgoCD Builds It

  • ArgoCD renders only the sources declared directly in the Application template.
  • The deploy repo contributes values.yaml for this component.
  • The current template does not apply a deploy-repo overlay directory for this component.

How to Enable

Enable this component under the scope that matches your deployment model:

$CLUSTER_NAME/deploy.yaml
global:
  etcdbackup:
    enabled: true
site:
  etcdbackup:
    enabled: true

Deployment Repo Content

Use any secret delivery mechanism you prefer. The contract that matters is the final Kubernetes Secret or manifest shape described below.

Required or commonly required items:

  • values.yaml: Provide the schedule, retention, storage destination, and any other Helm values for your backup policy.

Notes

  • The current ArgoCD template reads deploy-repo values for this component but does not apply a deploy overlay directory. Put configuration in values.yaml, not extra manifests.
