If you’ve just stumbled upon looking up for ways to backup and restore containerised stateful workload on Kubernetes, then I hope you won’t get disappointed. Before you delve into this more a word of caution this one is for specific use case not a typical one, that’s the reason of this blog.

Here I am going to show you how to deploy a simple stateful MySQL POD deployment and injecting some data and give you intricacies and details of using Kasten and Kanister with screenshots and commands which will help you understand how it woks and try it yourselves like DIY.

I would highly recommend you have a look at my earlier blog on backup and restore of applications running on Kubernetes using Velero.

There are glaring differences between how Velero and Kasten works in this space of backup and restore of Kubernetes applications. I don’t want to provide what those difference are or their pros or cons, because I guess that will bring in bias to the reader.
