In this part of the guide, we are going to demonstrate how we can backup WordPress with Velero (FSB). For WordPress, we need to backup both namespace resources (Deployments, Services, Secrets, ConfigMaps) and persistent volumes (MySQL and WordPress content).
This best practices series showcase how to migrate Kubernetes workloads from other cloud or on-premises Kubernetes environments to the Cloud Container Engine (CCE) on Open Telekom Cloud. It highlights the key considerations for moving applications, container images, and persistent data while ensuring compatibility and service continuity. This best practice focuses on leveraging Open Telekom Cloud services such as OBS and SWR, along with established tools like Velero, and optionaly MinIO, to provide a reliable and structured migration path for Kubernetes workloads.
In this part of the guide, we will demonstrate how to restore a WordPress backup created with Velero (FSB) onto a target Open Telekom Cloud CCE cluster. The process includes restoring both the namespace resources (Deployments, Services, Secrets, ConfigMaps) and the persistent volumes for MySQL and WordPress content, effectively migrating the workload into a new cluster.
