velero: Create a backup containing all resources.
$ velero backup create ${backup_name}
try on your machine

The command "velero backup create ${backup_name}" is used to create a backup of resources in a Kubernetes cluster using Velero backup tool.

  • "velero": Refers to the Velero CLI (Command Line Interface) tool that is used for managing backups and restores in Kubernetes clusters.
  • "backup": Specifies the action to create a backup.
  • "create": Indicates that a new backup should be created.
  • "${backup_name}": This is a placeholder for specifying the name of the backup. You need to replace "${backup_name}" with an actual name of your choice.

By running this command, Velero will create a backup of all the cluster resources, including namespaces, deployments, services, persistent volumes, and so on. It creates a snapshot of the Kubernetes resources at the time the backup is taken, allowing you to restore them later if needed.
