The code changes are related to the `NewPeriodicalEnqueueSource` function in the `kube/periodical_enqueue_source.go` file. This function is used to create a new instance of the `PeriodicalEnqueueSource` struct, which is responsible for periodically enqueueing objects into a work queue.
The changes involve adding two new parameters to this function: `controllerName string` and modifying the existing `logger` parameter to include additional fields.
Here's what changed:
1. A new `controllerName` parameter was added to the `NewPeriodicalEnqueueSource` function.
These changes are to adding more context or metadata to the logging output, possibly for debugging or monitoring purposes.
The other files (`restore_operations_controller.go`, `schedule_controller.go`, and their respective test files) were modified to use this updated `NewPeriodicalEnqueueSource` function with the new `controllerName` parameter.

* Correcting Openshift on IBM Documentation Error
I have to admit to some significant error and embarrassment regarding the documentation update
about Openshift on IBM Cloud pull request https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/8069.
I will correct my error before it gets any further.
Just exposing /var/data/kubelet/pods is incorrect and host path /var/lib/kubelet/pods should remain unchanged.
The errors with the defaults during csi snapshot data movement were:
data path backup failed: Failed to run kopia backup: unable to get local
block device entry: resolveSymlink: lstat /var/data/: no such
file or directory
I suspected this was the same as RancherOS and Nutanix. It is not.
The original tested changes changed both /var/lib/kubelet/{pods,plugins} to
/var/data/kubelet/{pods,plugins}.
The published changes only result in the error:
```
status:
completionTimestamp: '2024-08-02T17:12:29Z'
message: >-
data path backup failed: Failed to run kopia backup: unable to get local

file or directory
node: 10.240.0.5
phase: Failed
progress: {}
startTimestamp: '2024-08-02T17:12:11Z'
```
After making continued modifications to the daemonset the correct configuration was:
```
volumeMounts:
- name: host-pods
mountPath: /host_pods
mountPropagation: HostToContainer
- name: host-plugins
mountPath: /var/data/kubelet/plugins
mountPropagation: HostToContainer
```
```
volumes:
- name: host-pods
hostPath:
path: /var/lib/kubelet/pods
type: ''
- name: host-plugins
hostPath:
path: /var/data/kubelet/plugins
type: ''
```
Only the changes to the plugin path were required.
The plugin path changes were required to both the mount path and the host path.
Regardless of whether /var/lib/kubelet/pods or /var/data/kubelet/pods host path, backups and restore
succeeded provided the plugin path was modified.
```
volumeMounts:
- name: host-pods
mountPath: /host_pods
mountPropagation: HostToContainer
- name: host-plugins
mountPath: /var/data/kubelet/plugins
mountPropagation: HostToContainer
```
```
volumes:
- name: host-pods
hostPath:
path: /var/data/kubelet/pods
type: ''
- name: host-plugins
hostPath:
path: /var/data/kubelet/plugins
type: ''
```
After getting on-host access was able to confirm. Pods are at /var/lib/kubelet/pods.
```

With the volume config changed to expose /var/data/kubelet/plugins for the plugin hostPath, the DataUploads and DataDownloads
succeed for both Filesystem and Block mode PVCs.

Breaking change (can be mitigated if needed in the future): v1 branch accepted an optional seconds field at the beginning of the cron spec. This is non-standard and has led to a lot of confusion. The new default parser conforms to the standard as described by [the Cron wikipedia page.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron). It is unlikely that this affects us per https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/31
Other notes:
> CRON_TZ is now the recommended way to specify the timezone of a single schedule, which is sanctioned by the specification. The legacy "TZ=" prefix will continue to be supported since it is unambiguous and easy to do so.

This commit introduces our own Azure storage provider by wrapping Kopia's implementation rather than contributing to upstream based on the following considerations:
1. Velero needs the capability to interact with the repository concurrently while Kopia doesn't, this will increase the complexity of Kopia if we contribute to upstream
2. The configuration items provided by Velero and Kopia are conflict, e.g. Velero supports customizing storage account URI which is a full path while Kopia supports customizing storage account domain which is part of the URI. We need to consider the backward compatibility and upgrade case if we contribute to upstream which needs extra efforts
3. Contribute to upstream is a longer cycle when we need to introduce new changes. With this commit, we no longer depends on upstream for the Azure storage provider part and is easy for us to maintain

The RIA refactoring moved velero.RestoreItemAction into a separate
(restoreitemaction) v1 package. Unfortunately, this change would require
plugins to make code changes to locate the RestoreItemActionExecuteInput
and RestoreItemActionExecuteOutput structs.
This commit restores those structs to the original velero package, leaving
just the RestoreItemAction interface in the new v1 package.

This commit provides a simple contract that if the BackupItemAction
plugin sets an annotation in a resource it has handled, the additional
items will considered "must include" i.e. each of them will skip the
"include-exclude" filter, such that the plugin developer can make sure
they are included in the backup disregarding the filter setting in the
bakcup CR.

* Removal of maintainers from Velero
## Deprecation Policy
### Deprecation Process
Any contributor may introduce a request to deprecate a feature or an option of a feature by opening a feature request issue in the vmware-tanzu/velero GitHub project. The issue should describe why the feature is no longer needed or has become detrimental to Velero, as well as whether and how it has been superseded. The submitter should give as much detail as possible.
Once the issue is filed, a one-month discussion period begins. Discussions take place within the issue itself as well as in the community meetings. The person who opens the issue, or a maintainer, should add the date and time marking the end of the discussion period in a comment on the issue as soon as possible after it is opened. A decision on the issue needs to be made within this one-month period.
The feature will be deprecated by a supermajority vote of 50% plus one of the project maintainers at the time of the vote tallying, which is 72 hours after the end of the community meeting that is the end of the comment period. (Maintainers are permitted to vote in advance of the deadline, but should hold their votes until as close as possible to hear all possible discussion.) Votes will be tallied in comments on the issue.
Non-maintainers may add non-binding votes in comments to the issue as well; these are opinions to be taken into consideration by maintainers, but they do not count as votes.
If the vote passes, the deprecation window takes effect in the subsequent release, and the removal follows the schedule.
### Schedule
If depreciation proposal passes by supermajority votes, the feature is deprecated in the next minor release and the feature can be removed completely after two minor version or equivalent major version e.g., if feature gets deprecated in Nth minor version, then feature can be removed after N+2 minor version or its equivalent if the major version number changes.
### Deprecation Window
The deprecation window is the period from the release in which the deprecation takes effect through the release in which the feature is removed. During this period, only critical security vulnerabilities and catastrophic bugs should be fixed.
**Note:** If a backup relies on a deprecated feature, then backups made with the last Velero release before this feature is removed must still be restorable in version `n+2`. For instance, something like restic feature support, that might mean that restic is removed from the list of supported uploader types in version `n` but the underlying implementation required to restore from a restic backup won't be removed until release `n+2`.
## Updating Governance
All substantive changes in Governance require a supermajority agreement by all maintainers.

Velero supports IPv4, IPv6, and dual stack environments. Support for this was tested against Velero v1.8.
The Velero maintainers are continuously working to expand testing coverage, but are not able to test every combination of Velero and supported Kubernetes versions for each Velero release. The table above is meant to track the current testing coverage and the expected supported Kubernetes versions for each Velero version.

The table above is meant to track the current testing coverage and the expected supported Kubernetes versions for each Velero version.
If you are interested in using a different version of Kubernetes with a given Velero version, we'd recommend that you perform testing before installing or upgrading your environment. For full information around capabilities within a release, also see the Velero [release notes](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/releases) or Kubernetes [release notes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/CHANGELOG). See the Velero [support page](https://velero.io/docs/latest/support-process/) for information about supported versions of Velero.
For each release, Velero maintainers run the test to ensure the upgrade path from n-2 minor release. For example, before the release of v1.10.x, the test will verify that the backup created by v1.9.x and v1.8.x can be restored using the build to be tagged as v1.10.x.

In this release, we introduced the Unified Repository architecture to build a data path where data movers and the backup repository are decoupled and a unified backup repository could serve various data movement activities.
In this release, we also deeply integrate Velero with Kopia, specifically, Kopia's uploader modules are isolated as a generic file system uploader; Kopia's repository modules are encapsulated as the unified backup repository.
For more information, refer to the [design document](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/v1.10.0/design/unified-repo-and-kopia-integration/unified-repo-and-kopia-integration.md).
#### File system backup refactor
Velero's file system backup (a.k.s. pod volume backup or formerly restic backup) is refactored as the first user of the Unified Repository architecture. Specifically, we added a new path, the Kopia path, besides the existing Restic path. While Restic path is still available and set as default, you can opt in Kopia path by specifying the `uploader-type` parameter at installation time. Meanwhile, you are free to restore from existing backups under either path, Velero dynamically switches to the correct path to process the restore.
Because of the new path, we renamed some modules and parameters, refer to the Break Changes section for more details.
For more information, visit the [file system backup document](https://velero.io/docs/v1.10/file-system-backup/) and [v1.10 upgrade guide document](https://velero.io/docs/v1.10/upgrade-to-1.10/).
Meanwhile, we've created a performance guide for both Restic path and Kopia path, which helps you to choose between the two paths and provides you the best practice to configure them under different scenarios. Please note that the results in the guide are based on our testing environments, you may get different results when testing in your own ones. For more information, visit the [performance guide document](https://velero.io/docs/v1.10/performance-guidance/).
#### Plugin versioning V1 refactor
In this release, Velero moves plugins BackupItemAction, RestoreItemAction and VolumeSnapshotterAction to version v1, this allows future plugin changes that do not support backward compatibility, so is a preparation for various complex tasks, for example, data movement tasks.
For more information, refer to the [plugin versioning design document](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/v1.10.0/design/plugin-versioning.md).
#### Refactor the controllers using Kubebuilder v3
In this release we continued our code modernization work, rewriting some controllers using Kubebuilder v3. This work is ongoing and we will continue to make progress in future releases.
#### Add credentials to volume snapshot locations
In this release, we enabled dedicate credentials options to volume snapshot locations so that you can specify credentials per volume snapshot location as same as backup storage location.
For more information, please visit the [locations document](https://velero.io/docs/v1.10/locations/).
#### CSI snapshot enhancements
In this release we added several changes to enhance the robustness of CSI snapshot procedures, for example, some protection code for error handling, and a mechanism to skip exclusion checks so that CSI snapshot works with various backup resource filters.
#### Backup schedule pause/unpause
In this release, Velero supports to pause/unpause a backup schedule during or after its creation. Specifically:
At creation time, you can specify `–paused` flag to `velero schedule create` command, if so, you will create a paused schedule that will not run until it is unpaused
After creation, you can run `velero schedule pause` or `velero schedule unpause` command to pause/unpause a schedule
#### Runtime and dependencies
In order to fix CVEs, we changed Velero's runtime and dependencies as follows:
Bump go runtime to v1.18.8
Bump some core dependent libraries to newer versions
Compile Restic (v0.13.1) with go 1.18.8 instead of packaging the official binary
#### Breaking changes
Due to file system backup refactor, below modules and parameters name have been changed in this release:
`restic` daemonset is renamed to `node-agent`
`resticRepository` CR is renamed to `backupRepository`
`velero restic repo` command is renamed to `velero repo`
`velero-restic-credentials` secret is renamed to `velero-repo-credentials`
`default-volumes-to-restic` parameter is renamed to `default-volumes-to-fs-backup`
`restic-timeout` parameter is renamed to `fs-backup-timeout`
`default-restic-prune-frequency` parameter is renamed to `default-repo-maintain-frequency`
#### Upgrade
Due to the major changes of file system backup, the old upgrade steps are not suitable any more. For the new upgrade steps, visit [v1.10 upgrade guide document](https://velero.io/docs/v1.10/upgrade-to-1.10/).
#### Limitations/Known issues
In this release, Kopia backup repository (so the Kopia path of file system backup) doesn't support self signed certificate for S3 compatible storage. To track this problem, refer to this [Velero issue](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/5123) or [Kopia issue](https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/1443).
Due to the code change in Velero, there will be some code change required in vSphere plugin, without which the functionality may be impacted. Therefore, if you are using vSphere plugin in your workflow, please hold the upgrade until the issue [#485](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero-plugin-for-vsphere/issues/485) is fixed in vSphere plugin.

This feature implements the BackupItemAction v2. BIA v2 has two new methods: Progress() and Cancel() and modifies the Execute() return value.
The API change is needed to facilitate long-running BackupItemAction plugin actions that may not be complete when the Execute() method returns. This will allow long-running BackupItemAction plugin actions to continue in the background while the Velero moves to the following plugin or the next item.
#### RestoreItemAction v2
This feature implemented the RestoreItemAction v2. RIA v2 has three new methods: Progress(), Cancel(), and AreAdditionalItemsReady(), and it modifies RestoreItemActionExecuteOutput() structure in the RIA return value.
The Progress() and Cancel() methods are needed to facilitate long-running RestoreItemAction plugin actions that may not be complete when the Execute() method returns. This will allow long-running RestoreItemAction plugin actions to continue in the background while the Velero moves to the following plugin or the next item. The AreAdditionalItemsReady() method is needed to allow plugins to tell Velero to wait until the returned additional items have been restored and are ready for use in the cluster before restoring the current item.
#### Plugin Progress Monitoring
This is intended as a replacement for the previously-approved Upload Progress Monitoring design ([Upload Progress Monitoring](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/upload-progress.md)) to expand the supported use cases beyond snapshot upload to include what was previously called Async Backup/Restore Item Actions.
#### Flexible resource policy that can filter volumes to skip in the backup
This feature provides a flexible policy to filter volumes in the backup without requiring patching any labels or annotations to the pods or volumes. This policy is configured as k8s ConfigMap and maintained by the users themselves, and it can be extended to more scenarios in the future. By now, the policy rules out volumes from backup depending on the CSI driver, NFS setting, volume size, and StorageClass setting. Please refer to [policy API design](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/Implemented/handle-backup-of-volumes-by-resources-filters.md#api-design)for the policy's ConifgMap format. It is not guaranteed to work on unofficial third-party plugins as it may not follow the existing backup workflow code logic of Velero.
#### Resource Filters that can distinguish cluster scope and namespace scope resources
This feature adds four new resource filters for backup. The new filters are separated into cluster scope and namespace scope. Before this feature, Velero could not filter cluster scope resources precisely. This feature provides the ability and refactors existing resource filter parameters.
#### Add a parameter for setting the Velero server connection with the k8s API server's timeout
In Velero, some code pieces need to communicate with the k8s API server. Before v1.11, these code pieces used hard-code timeout settings. This feature adds a resource-timeout parameter in the velero server binary to make it configurable.
#### Add resource list in the output of the restore describe command
Before this feature, Velero restore didn't have a restored resources list as the Velero backup. It's not convenient for users to learn what is restored. This feature adds the resources list and the handling result of the resources (including created, updated, failed, and skipped).
#### Refactor controllers with controller-runtime
In v1.11, Backup Controller and Restore controller are refactored with controller-runtime. Till v1.11, all Velero controllers use the controller-runtime framework.
#### Runtime and dependencies
To fix CVEs and keep pace with Golang, Velero made changes as follows:
* Bump Golang runtime to v1.19.8.
* Bump several dependent libraries to new versions.
* Compile Restic (v0.15.0) with Golang v1.19.8 instead of packaging the official binary.
### Breaking changes
* The Velero CSI plugin now determines whether to restore Volume's data from snapshots on the restore's restorePVs setting. Before v1.11, the CSI plugin doesn't check the restorePVs parameter setting.
### Limitations/Known issues
* The Flexible resource policy that can filter volumes to skip in the backup is not guaranteed to work on unofficial third-party plugins because the plugins may not follow the existing backup workflow code logic of Velero. The ConfigMap used as the policy is supposed to be maintained by users.

* new backup and restore phases to support async plugin operations:
CSI Snapshot Data Movement refers to back up CSI snapshot data from the volatile and limited production environment into durable, heterogeneous, and scalable backup storage in a consistent manner; and restore the data to volumes in the original or alternative environment.
CSI Snapshot Data Movement is useful in below scenarios:
* For on-premises users, the storage usually doesn't support durable snapshots, so it is impossible/less efficient/cost ineffective to keep volume snapshots by the storage This feature helps to move the snapshot data to a storage with lower cost and larger scale for long time preservation.
* For public cloud users, this feature helps users to fulfill the multiple cloud strategy. It allows users to back up volume snapshots from one cloud provider and preserve or restore the data to another cloud provider. Then users will be free to flow their business data across cloud providers based on Velero backup and restore
CSI Snapshot Data Movement is built according to the Volume Snapshot Data Movement design ([Volume Snapshot Data Movement](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/Implemented/unified-repo-and-kopia-integration/unified-repo-and-kopia-integration.md)). More details can be found in the design.
#### Resource Modifiers
In many use cases, customers often need to substitute specific values in Kubernetes resources during the restoration process like changing the namespace, changing the storage class, etc.
To address this need, Resource Modifiers (also known as JSON Substitutions) offer a generic solution in the restore workflow. It allows the user to define filters for specific resources and then specify a JSON patch (operator, path, value) to apply to the resource. This feature simplifies the process of making substitutions without requiring the implementation of a new RestoreItemAction plugin. More details can be found in Volume Snapshot Resource Modifiers design ([Resource Modifiers](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/Implemented/json-substitution-action-design.md)).
#### Multiple VolumeSnapshotClasses
Prior to version 1.12, the Velero CSI plugin would choose the VolumeSnapshotClass in the cluster based on matching driver names and the presence of the "velero.io/csi-volumesnapshot-class" label. However, this approach proved inadequate for many user scenarios.
With the introduction of version 1.12, Velero now offers support for multiple VolumeSnapshotClasses in the CSI Plugin, enabling users to select a specific class for a particular backup. More details can be found in Multiple VolumeSnapshotClasses design ([Multiple VolumeSnapshotClasses](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/Implemented/multiple-csi-volumesnapshotclass-support.md)).
#### Restore Finalizer
Before v1.12, the restore controller would only delete restore resources but wouldn’t delete restore data from the backup storage location when the command `velero restore delete` was executed. The only chance Velero deletes restores data from the backup storage location is when the associated backup is deleted.
In this version, Velero introduces a finalizer that ensures the cleanup of all associated data for restores when running the command `velero restore delete`.
#### Runtime and dependencies
To fix CVEs and keep pace with Golang, Velero made changes as follows:
* Bump Golang runtime to v1.20.7.
* Bump several dependent libraries to new versions.
* Bump Kopia to v0.13.
### Breaking changes
* Prior to v1.12, the parameter `uploader-type` for Velero installation had a default value of "restic". However, starting from this version, the default value has been changed to "kopia". This means that Velero will now use Kopia as the default path for file system backup.
* The ways of setting CSI snapshot time have changed in v1.12. First, the sync waiting time for creating a snapshot handle in the CSI plugin is changed from the fixed 10 minutes into backup.Spec.CSISnapshotTimeout. The second, the async waiting time for VolumeSnapshot and VolumeSnapshotContent's status turning into `ReadyToUse` in operation uses the operation's timeout. The default value is 4 hours.
* As from [Velero helm chart v4.0.0](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/helm-charts/releases/tag/velero-4.0.0), it supports multiple BSL and VSL, and the BSL and VSL have changed from the map into a slice, and[ this breaking change](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/helm-charts/pull/413) is not backward compatible. So it would be best to change the BSL and VSL configuration into slices before the Upgrade.
### Limitations/Known issues
* The Azure plugin supports Azure AD Workload identity way, but it only works for Velero native snapshots. It cannot support filesystem backup and snapshot data mover scenarios.
### All Changes
* Fixes #6498. Get resource client again after restore actions in case resource's gv is changed. This is an improvement of pr #6499, to support group changes.

Velero introduced the Resource Modifiers in v1.12.0. This feature allows users to specify a ConfigMap with a set of rules to modify the resources during restoration. However, only the JSON Patch is supported when creating the rules, and JSON Patch has some limitations, which cannot cover all use cases. In v1.13.0, Velero adds new support for JSON Merge Patch and Strategic Merge Patch, which provide more power and flexibility and allow users to use the same ConfigMap to apply patches on the resources. More design details can be found in [Support JSON Merge Patch and Strategic Merge Patch in Resource Modifiers](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/Implemented/merge-patch-and-strategic-in-resource-modifier.md) design. For instructions on how to use the feature, please refer to the [Resource Modifiers](https://velero.io/docs/v1.13/restore-resource-modifiers/) doc.
#### Node-Agent Concurrency
Velero data movement activities from fs-backups and CSI snapshot data movements run in Velero node-agent, so may be hosted by every node in the cluster and consume resources (i.e. CPU, memory, network bandwidth) from there. With v1.13, users are allowed to configure how many data movement activities (a.k.a, loads) run in each node globally or by node, so that users can better leverage the performance of Velero data movement activities and the resource consumption in the cluster. For more information, check the [Node-Agent Concurrency](https://velero.io/docs/v1.13/node-agent-concurrency/) document.
#### Parallel Files Upload Options
Velero now supports configurable options for parallel files upload when using Kopia uploader to do fs-backups or CSI snapshot data movements which makes speed up backup possible.
For more information, please check [Here](https://velero.io/docs/v1.13/backup-reference/#parallel-files-upload).
#### Write Sparse Files Options
If using fs-restore or CSI snapshot data movements, it’s supported to write sparse files during restore. For more information, please check [Here](https://velero.io/docs/v1.13/restore-reference/#write-sparse-files).
#### Backup Describe
In v1.13, the Backup Volume section is added to the velero backup describe command output. The backup Volumes section describes information for all the volumes included in the backup of various backup types, i.e. native snapshot, fs-backup, CSI snapshot, and CSI snapshot data movement. Particularly, the velero backup description now supports showing the information of CSI snapshot data movements, which is not supported in v1.12.
Additionally, backup describe command will not check EnableCSI feature gate from client side, so if a backup has volumes with CSI snapshot or CSI snapshot data movement, backup describe command always shows the corresponding information in its output.
#### Backup's new VolumeInfo metadata
Create a new metadata file in the backup repository's backup name sub-directory to store the backup-including PVC and PV information. The information includes the backing-up method of the PVC and PV data, snapshot information, and status. The VolumeInfo metadata file determines how the PV resource should be restored. The Velero downstream software can also use this metadata file to get a summary of the backup's volume data information.
#### Enhancement for CSI Snapshot Data Movements when Velero Pod Restart
When performing backup and restore operations, enhancements have been implemented for Velero server pods or node agents to ensure that the current backup or restore process is not stuck or interrupted after restart due to certain exceptional circumstances.
#### New status fields added to show hook execution details
Hook execution status is now included in the backup/restore CR status and displayed in the backup/restore describe command output. Specifically, it will show the number of hooks which attempted to execute under the HooksAttempted field and the number of hooks which failed to execute under the HooksFailed field.
#### AWS SDK Bump Up
Bump up AWS SDK for Go to version 2, which offers significant performance improvements in CPU and memory utilization over version 1.
#### Azure AD/Workload Identity Support
Azure AD/Workload Identity is the recommended approach to do the authentication with Azure services/AKS, Velero has introduced support for Azure AD/Workload Identity on the Velero Azure plugin side in previous releases, and in v1.13.0 Velero adds new support for Kopia operations(file system backup/data mover/etc.) with Azure AD/Workload Identity.
#### Runtime and dependencies
To fix CVEs and keep pace with Golang, Velero made changes as follows:
* Bump Golang runtime to v1.21.6.
* Bump several dependent libraries to new versions.
* Bump Kopia to v0.15.0.
### Breaking changes
* Backup describe command: due to the backup describe output enhancement, some existing information (i.e. the output for native snapshot, CSI snapshot, and fs-backup) has been moved to the Backup Volumes section with some format changes.
* API type changes: changes the field [DataMoverConfig](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/v1.13.0/pkg/apis/velero/v2alpha1/data_upload_types.go#L54) in DataUploadSpec from `*map[string][string]`` to `map[string]string`
* Velero install command: due to the issue [#7264](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/7264), v1.13.0 introduces a break change that make the informer cache enabled by default to keep the actual behavior consistent with the helper message(the informer cache is disabled by default before the change).
### Limitations/Known issues
* The backup's VolumeInfo metadata doesn't have the information updated in the async operations. This function could be supported in v1.14 release.
### Note
* Velero introduces the informer cache which is enabled by default. The informer cache improves the restore performance but may cause higher memory consumption. Increase the memory limit of the Velero pod or disable the informer cache by specifying the `--disable-informer-cache` option when installing Velero if you get the OOM error.
### Deprecation announcement
* The generated k8s clients, informers, and listers are deprecated in the Velero v1.13 release. They are put in the Velero repository's pkg/generated directory. According to the n+2 supporting policy, the deprecated are kept for two more releases. The pkg/generated directory should be deleted in the v1.15 release.
* After the backup VolumeInfo metadata file is added to the backup, Velero decides how to restore the PV resource according to the VolumeInfo content. To support the backup generated by the older version of Velero, the old logic is also kept. The support for the backup without the VolumeInfo metadata file will be kept for two releases. The support logic will be deleted in the v1.15 release.

#### The maintenance work for kopia/restic backup repositories is run in jobs
Since velero started using kopia as the approach for filesystem-level backup/restore, we've noticed an issue when velero connects to the kopia backup repositories and performs maintenance, it sometimes consumes excessive memory that can cause the velero pod to get OOM Killed. To mitigate this issue, the maintenance work will be moved out of velero pod to a separate kubernetes job, and the user will be able to specify the resource request in "velero install".
#### Volume Policies are extended to support more actions to handle volumes
In an earlier release, a flexible volume policy was introduced to skip certain volumes from a backup. In v1.14 we've made enhancement to this policy to allow the user to set how the volumes should be backed up. The user will be able to set "fs-backup" or "snapshot" as value of “action" in the policy and velero will backup the volumes accordingly. This enhancement allows the user to achieve a fine-grained control like "opt-in/out" without having to update the target workload. For more details please refer to https://velero.io/docs/v1.14/resource-filtering/#supported-volumepolicy-actions
#### Node Selection for Data Movement Backup
In velero the data movement flow relies on datamover pods, and these pods may take substantial resources and keep running for a long time. In v1.14, the user will be able to create a configmap to define the eligible nodes on which the datamover pods are launched. For more details refer to https://velero.io/docs/v1.14/data-movement-backup-node-selection/
#### VolumeInfo metadata for restored volumes
In v1.13, we introduced volumeinfo metadata for backup to help velero CLI and downstream adopter understand how velero handles each volume during backup. In v1.14, similar metadata will be persisted for each restore. velero CLI is also updated to bring more info in the output of "velero restore describe".
#### "Finalizing" phase is introduced to restores
The "Finalizing" phase is added to the state transition flow to restore, which helps us fix several issues: The labels added to PVs will be restored after the data in the PV is restored via volumesnapshotter. The post restore hook will be executed after datamovement is finished.
#### Certificate-based authentication support for Azure
Besides the service principal with secret(password)-based authentication, Velero introduces the new support for service principal with certificate-based authentication in v1.14.0. This approach enables you to adopt a phishing resistant authentication by using conditional access policies, which better protects Azure resources and is the recommended way by Azure.
### Runtime and dependencies
* Golang runtime: v1.22.2
* kopia: v0.17.0
### Limitations/Known issues
* For the external BackupItemAction plugins that take snapshots for PVs, such as vsphere plugin. If the plugin checks the value of the field "snapshotVolumes" in the backup spec as a criteria for snapshot, the settings in the volume policy will not take effect. For example, if the "snapshotVolumes" is set to False in the backup spec, but a volume meets the condition in the volume policy for "snapshot" action, because the plugin will not check the settings in the volume policy, the plugin will not take snapshot for the volume. For more details please refer to #7818
### Breaking changes
* CSI plugin has been merged into velero repo in v1.14 release. It will be installed by default as an internal plugin, and should not be installed via "–plugins " parameter in "velero install" command.
* The default resource requests and limitations for node agent are removed in v1.14, to make the node agent pods have the QoS class of "BestEffort", more details please refer to #7391
* There's a change in namespace filtering behavior during backup: In v1.14, when the includedNamespaces/excludedNamespaces fields are not set and the labelSelector/OrLabelSelectors are set in the backup spec, the backup will only include the namespaces which contain the resources that match the label selectors, while in previous releases all namespaces will be included in the backup with such settings. More details refer to #7105
* Patching the PV in the "Finalizing" state may cause the restore to be in "PartiallyFailed" state when the PV is blocked in "Pending" state, while in the previous release the restore may end up being in "Complete" state. For more details refer to #7866

Data transfer activities for CSI Snapshot Data Movement are moved from node-agent pods to dedicate backupPods or restorePods. This brings many benefits such as:
- This avoids to access volume data through host path, while host path access is privileged and may involve security escalations, which are concerned by users.
- This enables users to to control resource (i.e., cpu, memory) allocations in a granular manner, e.g., control them per backup/restore of a volume.
- This enhances the resilience, crash of one data movement activity won't affect others.
- This prevents unnecessary full backup because of host path changes after workload pods restart.
- For more information, check the design https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/Implemented/vgdp-micro-service/vgdp-micro-service.md.
#### Item Block concepts and ItemBlockAction (IBA) plugin
Item Block concepts are introduced for resource backups to help to achieve multiple thread backups. Specifically, correlated resources are categorized in the same item block and item blocks could be processed concurrently in multiple threads.
ItemBlockAction plugin is introduced to help Velero to categorize resources into item blocks. At present, Velero provides built-in IBAs for pods and PVCs and Velero also supports customized IBAs for any resources.
In v1.15, Velero doesn't support multiple thread process of item blocks though item block concepts and IBA plugins are fully supported. The multiple thread support will be delivered in future releases.
For more information, check the design https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/backup-performance-improvements.md.
#### Node selection for repository maintenance job
Repository maintenance are resource consuming tasks, Velero now allows you to configure the nodes to run repository maintenance jobs, so that you can run repository maintenance jobs in idle nodes or avoid them to run in nodes hosting critical workloads.
To support the configuration, a new repository maintenance configuration configMap is introduced.
For more information, check the document https://velero.io/docs/v1.15/repository-maintenance/.
#### Backup PVC read-only configuration
In 1.15, Velero allows you to configure the data mover backupPods to read-only mount the backupPVCs. In this way, the data mover expose process could be significantly accelerated for some storages (i.e., ceph).
To support the configuration, a new backup PVC configuration configMap is introduced.
For more information, check the document https://velero.io/docs/v1.15/data-movement-backup-pvc-configuration/.
#### Backup PVC storage class configuration
In 1.15, Velero allows you to configure the storageclass used by the data mover backupPods. In this way, the provision of backupPVCs don't need to adhere to the same pattern as workload PVCs, e.g., for a backupPVC, it only needs one replica, whereas, the a workload PVC may have multiple replicas.
To support the configuration, the same backup PVC configuration configMap is used.
For more information, check the document https://velero.io/docs/v1.15/data-movement-backup-pvc-configuration/.
#### Backup repository data cache configuration
The backup repository may need to cache data on the client side during various repository operations, i.e., read, write, maintenance, etc. The cache consumes the root file system space of the pod where the repository access happens.
In 1.15, Velero allows you to configure the total size of the cache per repository. In this way, if your pod doesn't have enough space in its root file system, the pod won't be evicted due to running out of ephemeral storage.
To support the configuration, a new backup repository configuration configMap is introduced.
For more information, check the document https://velero.io/docs/v1.15/backup-repository-configuration/.
#### Performance improvements
In 1.15, several performance related issues/enhancements are included, which makes significant performance improvements in specific scenarios:
- There was a memory leak of Velero server after plugin calls, now it is fixed, see issue https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/7925
- The `client-burst/client-qps` parameters are automatically inherited to plugins, so that you can use the same velero server parameters to accelerate the plugin executions when large number of API server calls happen, see issue https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/7806
- Maintenance of Kopia repository takes huge memory in scenarios that huge number of files have been backed up, Velero 1.15 has included the Kopia upstream enhancement to fix the problem, see issue https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/7510
### Runtime and dependencies
Golang runtime: v1.22.8
kopia: v0.17.0
### Limitations/Known issues
#### Read-only backup PVC may not work on SELinux environments
Due to an issue of Kubernetes upstream, if a volume is mounted as read-only in SELinux environments, the read privilege is not granted to any user, as a result, the data mover backup will fail. On the other hand, the backupPVC must be mounted as read-only in order to accelerate the data mover expose process.
Therefore, a user option is added in the same backup PVC configuration configMap, once the option is enabled, the backupPod container will run as a super privileged container and disable SELinux access control. If you have concern in this super privileged container or you have configured [pod security admissions](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/pod-security-admission/) and don't allow super privileged containers, you will not be able to use this read-only backupPVC feature and lose the benefit to accelerate the data mover expose process.
### Breaking changes
#### Deprecation of Restic
Restic path for fs-backup is in deprecation process starting from 1.15. According to [Velero deprecation policy](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/v1.15/GOVERNANCE.md#deprecation-policy), for 1.15, if Restic path is used the backup/restore of fs-backup still creates and succeeds, but you will see warnings in below scenarios:
- When `--uploader-type=restic` is used in Velero installation
- When Restic path is used to create backup/restore of fs-backup
#### node-agent configuration name is configurable
Previously, a fixed name is searched for node-agent configuration configMap. Now in 1.15, Velero allows you to customize the name of the configMap, on the other hand, the name must be specified by node-agent server parameter `node-agent-configmap`.
#### Repository maintenance job configurations in Velero server parameter are moved to repository maintenance job configuration configMap
In 1.15, below Velero server parameters for repository maintenance jobs are moved to the repository maintenance job configuration configMap. While for back compatibility reason, the same Velero sever parameters are preserved as is. But the configMap is recommended and the same values in the configMap take preference if they exist in both places:
```
--keep-latest-maintenance-jobs
--maintenance-job-cpu-request
--maintenance-job-mem-request
--maintenance-job-cpu-limit
--maintenance-job-mem-limit
```
#### Changing PVC selected-node feature is deprecated
In 1.15, the [Changing PVC selected-node feature](https://velero.io/docs/v1.15/restore-reference/#changing-pvc-selected-node) enters deprecation process and will be removed in future releases according to [Velero deprecation policy](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/v1.15/GOVERNANCE.md#deprecation-policy). Usage of this feature for any purpose is not recommended.

Currently, the [VolumePolicies feature](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/Implemented/handle-backup-of-volumes-by-resources-filters.md) which can be used to filter/handle volumes during backup only supports the skip action on matching conditions. Users need more actions to be supported.
## Background
The `VolumePolicies` feature was introduced in Velero 1.11 as a flexible way to handle volumes. The main agenda of
introducing the VolumePolicies feature was to improve the overall user experience when performing backup operations
for volume resources, the feature enables users to group volumes according the `conditions` (criteria) specified and
also lets you specify the `action` that velero needs to take for these grouped volumes during the backup operation.
The limitation being that currently `VolumePolicies` only supports `skip` as an action, We want to extend the `action`
functionality to support more usable options like `fs-backup` (File system backup) and `snapshot` (VolumeSnapshots).
## Goals
- Extending the VolumePolicies to support more actions like `fs-backup` (File system backup) and `snapshot` (VolumeSnapshots).
- Improve user experience when backing up Volumes via Velero
## Non-Goals
- No changes to existing approaches to opt-in/opt-out annotations for volumes
- No changes to existing `VolumePolicies` functionalities
- No additions or implementations to support more granular actions like `snapshot-csi` and `snapshot-datamover`. These actions can be implemented as a future enhancement
## Use-cases/Scenarios
**Use-case 1:**
- A user wants to use `snapshot` (volumesnapshots) backup option for all the csi supported volumes and `fs-backup` for the rest of the volumes.
- Currently, velero supports this use-case but the user experience is not that great.
- The user will have to individually annotate the volume mounting pod with the annotation "backup.velero.io/backup-volumes" for `fs-backup`
- This becomes cumbersome at scale.
- Using `VolumePolicies`, the user can just specify 2 simple `VolumePolicies` like for csi supported volumes as `snapshot` action and rest can be backed up`fs-backup` action:
```yaml
version:v1
volumePolicies:
- conditions:
storageClass:
- gp2
action:
type:snapshot
- conditions:{}
action:
type:fs-backup
```
**Use-case 2:**
- A user wants to use `fs-backup` for nfs volumes pertaining to a particular server
- In such a scenario the user can just specify a `VolumePolicy` like:
```yaml
version:v1
volumePolicies:
- conditions:
nfs:
server:192.168.200.90
action:
type:fs-backup
```
## High-Level Design
- When the VolumePolicy action is set as `fs-backup` the backup workflow modifications would be:
- We call [backupItem() -> backupItemInternal()](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/pkg/backup/item_backupper.go#L95) on all the items that are to be backed up
- Here when we encounter [Pod as an item ](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/pkg/backup/item_backupper.go#L195)
- We will have to modify the backup workflow to account for the `fs-backup` VolumePolicy action
- When the VolumePolicy action is set as `snapshot` the backup workflow modifications would be:
- Once again, We call [backupItem() -> backupItemInternal()](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/pkg/backup/item_backupper.go#L95) on all the items that are to be backed up
- Here when we encounter [Persistent Volume as an item](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/d4128542590470b204a642ee43311921c11db880/pkg/backup/item_backupper.go#L253)
- And we call the [takePVSnapshot func](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/d4128542590470b204a642ee43311921c11db880/pkg/backup/item_backupper.go#L508)
- We need to modify the takePVSnapshot function to account for the `snapshot` VolumePolicy action.
- In case of csi snapshots for PVC objects, these snapshot actions are taken by the velero-plugin-for-csi, we need to modify the [executeActions()](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/512fe0dabdcb3bbf1ca68a9089056ae549663bcf/pkg/backup/item_backupper.go#L232) function to account for the `snapshot` VolumePolicy action.
**Note:**`Snapshot` action can either be a native snapshot or a csi snapshot, as is the case with the current flow where velero itself makes the decision based on the backup CR.
## Detailed Design
- Update VolumePolicy action type validation to account for `fs-backup` and `snapshot` as valid VolumePolicy actions.
- Modifications needed for `fs-backup` action:
- Now based on the specification of volume policy on backup request we will decide whether to go via legacy pod annotations approach or the newer volume policy based fs-backup action approach.
- If there is a presence of volume policy(fs-backup/snapshot) on the backup request that matches as an action for a volume we use the newer volume policy approach to get the list of the volumes for `fs-backup` action
- Else continue with the annotation based legacy approach workflow.
- Modifications needed for `snapshot` action:
- In the [takePVSnapshot function](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/d4128542590470b204a642ee43311921c11db880/pkg/backup/item_backupper.go#L508) we will check the PV fits the volume policy criteria and see if the associated action is `snapshot`
- If it is not snapshot then we skip the further workflow and avoid taking the snapshot of the PV
- Similarly, For csi snapshot of PVC object, we need to do similar changes in [executeAction() function](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/512fe0dabdcb3bbf1ca68a9089056ae549663bcf/pkg/backup/item_backupper.go#L348). we will check the PVC fits the volume policy criteria and see if the associated action is `snapshot` via csi plugin
- If it is not snapshot then we skip the csi BIA execute action and avoid taking the snapshot of the PVC by not invoking the csi plugin action for the PVC
**Note:**
- When we are using the `VolumePolicy` approach for backing up the volumes then the volume policy criteria and action need to be specific and explicit, there is no default behavior, if a volume matches `fs-backup` action then `fs-backup` method will be used for that volume and similarly if the volume matches the criteria for `snapshot` action then the snapshot workflow will be used for the volume backup.
- Another thing to note is the workflow proposed in this design uses the legacy `opt-in/opt-out` approach as a fallback option. For instance, the user specifies a VolumePolicy but for a particular volume included in the backup there are no actions(fs-backup/snapshot) matching in the volume policy for that volume, in such a scenario the legacy approach will be used for backing up the particular volume.
- The relation between the `VolumePolicy` and the backup's legacy parameter `SnapshotVolumes`:
- The `VolumePolicy`'s `snapshot` action matching for volume has higher priority. When there is a `snapshot` action matching for the selected volume, it will be backed by the snapshot way, no matter of the `backup.Spec.SnapshotVolumes` setting.
- If there is no `snapshot` action matching the selected volume in the `VolumePolicy`, then the volume will be backed up by `snapshot` way, if the `backup.Spec.SnapshotVolumes` is not set to false.
- The relation between the `VolumePolicy` and the backup's legacy filesystem `opt-in/opt-out` approach:
- The `VolumePolicy`'s `fs-backup` action matching for volume has higher priority. When there is a `fs-backup` action matching for the selected volume, it will be backed by the fs-backup way, no matter of the `backup.Spec.DefaultVolumesToFsBackup` setting and the pod's `opt-in/opt-out` annotation setting.
- If there is no `fs-backup` action matching the selected volume in the `VolumePolicy`, then the volume will be backed up by the legacy `opt-in/opt-out` way.
## Implementation
- The implementation should be included in velero 1.14
- We will introduce a `VolumeHelper` interface. It will consist of two methods:
- The `VolumeHelperImpl` struct will implement the `VolumeHelper` interface and will consist of the functions that we will use through the backup workflow to accommodate volume policies for PVs and PVCs.
```go
typevolumeHelperImplstruct{
volumePolicy*resourcepolicies.Policies
snapshotVolumes*bool
loggerlogrus.FieldLogger
clientcrclient.Client
defaultVolumesToFSBackupbool
backupExcludePVCbool
}
```
- We will create an instance of the structure `volumeHelperImpl` in `item_backupper.go`
- Making sure that `snapshot` action is skipped for PVs that do not fit the volume policy criteria, for this we will use the `vh.ShouldPerformSnapshot` from the `VolumeHelperImpl(vh)` receiver.
log.Info(fmt.Sprintf("skipping volume snapshot for PV %s as it does not fit the volume policy criteria specified by the user for snapshot action",pv.Name))
ib.trackSkippedPV(obj,kuberesource.PersistentVolumes,volumeSnapshotApproach,"does not satisfy the criteria for volume policy based snapshot action",log)
returnnil
}
```
#### Snapshot (PVC)
- Making sure that `snapshot` action is skipped for PVCs that do not fit the volume policy criteria, for this we will again use the `vh.ShouldPerformSnapshot` from the `VolumeHelperImpl(vh)` receiver.
- We will pass the `VolumeHelperImpl(vh)` instance in `executeActions` method so that it is available to use.
```go
```
- The above function will be used as follows in the `executeActions` function of backup workflow.
- Considering the vSphere plugin doesn't support the VolumePolicy yet, don't use the VolumePolicy for vSphere plugin by now.
log.Info(fmt.Sprintf("skipping csi volume snapshot for PVC %s as it does not fit the volume policy criteria specified by the user for snapshot action",namespace+"/"+name))
ib.trackSkippedPV(obj,kuberesource.PersistentVolumeClaims,volumeSnapshotApproach,"does not satisfy the criteria for volume policy based snapshot action",log)
continue
}
}
}
```
## Future Implementation
It makes sense to add more specific actions in the future, once we deprecate the legacy opt-in/opt-out approach to keep things simple. Another point of note is, csi related action can be
easier to implement once we decide to merge the csi plugin into main velero code flow.
In the future, we envision the following actions that can be implemented:
-`snapshot-native`: only use volume snapshotter (native cloud provider snapshots), do nothing if not present/not compatible
-`snapshot-csi`: only use csi-plugin, don't use volume snapshotter(native cloud provider snapshots), don't use datamover even if snapshotMoveData is true
-`snapshot-datamover`: only use csi with datamover, don't use volume snapshotter (native cloud provider snapshots), use datamover even if snapshotMoveData is false
**Note:** The above actions are just suggestions for future scope, we may not use/implement them as is. We could definitely merge these suggested actions as `Snapshot` actions and use volume policy parameters and criteria to segregate them instead of making the user explicitly supply the action names to such granular levels.
## Related to Design
[Handle backup of volumes by resources filters](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/Implemented/handle-backup-of-volumes-by-resources-filters.md)
## Alternatives Considered
Same as the earlier design as this is an extension of the original VolumePolicies design
**Velero Generic Data Path (VGDP)**: VGDP is the collective modules that is introduced in [Unified Repository design][1]. Velero uses these modules to finish data transfer for various purposes (i.e., PodVolume backup/restore, Volume Snapshot Data Movement). VGDP modules include uploaders and the backup repository.
**Exposer**: Exposer is a module that is introduced in [Volume Snapshot Data Movement Design][2]. Velero uses this module to expose the volume snapshots to Velero node-agent pods or node-agent associated pods so as to complete the data movement from the snapshots.
**backupPVC**: The intermediate PVC created by the exposer for VGDP to access data from, see [Volume Snapshot Data Movement Design][2] for more details.
**backupPod**: The pod consumes the backupPVC so that VGDP could access data from the backupPVC, see [Volume Snapshot Data Movement Design][2] for more details.
**sourcePVC**: The PVC to be backed up, see [Volume Snapshot Data Movement Design][2] for more details.
## Background
As elaberated in [Volume Snapshot Data Movement Design][2], a backupPVC may be created by the Exposer and the VGDP reads data from the backupPVC.
In some scenarios, users may need to configure some advanced settings of the backupPVC so that the data movement could work in best performance in their environments. Specifically:
- For some storage providers, when creating a read-only volume from a snapshot, it is very fast; whereas, if a writable volume is created from the snapshot, they need to clone the entire disk data, which is time consuming. If the backupPVC's `accessModes` is set as `ReadOnlyMany`, the volume driver is able to tell the storage to create a read-only volume, which may dramatically shorten the snapshot expose time. On the other hand, `ReadOnlyMany` is not supported by all volumes. Therefore, users should be allowed to configure the `accessModes` for the backupPVC.
- Some storage providers create one or more replicas when creating a volume, the number of replicas is defined in the storage class. However, it doesn't make any sense to keep replicas when an intermediate volume used by the backup. Therefore, users should be allowed to configure another storage class specifically used by the backupPVC.
## Goals
- Create a mechanism for users to specify various configurations for backupPVC
## Non-Goals
## Solution
We will use the ConfigMap specified by `velero node-agent` CLI's parameter `--node-agent-configmap` to host the backupPVC configurations.
This configMap is not created by Velero, users should create it manually on demand. The configMap should be in the same namespace where Velero is installed. If multiple Velero instances are installed in different namespaces, there should be one configMap in each namespace which applies to node-agent in that namespace only.
Node-agent server checks these configurations at startup time and use it to initiate the related Exposer modules. Therefore, users could edit this configMap any time, but in order to make the changes effective, node-agent server needs to be restarted.
Inside the ConfigMap we will add one new kind of configuration as the data in the configMap, the name is ```backupPVC```.
Users may want to set different backupPVC configurations for different volumes, therefore, we define the configurations as a map and allow users to specific configurations by storage class. Specifically, the key of the map element is the storage class name used by the sourcePVC and the value is the set of configurations for the backupPVC created for the sourcePVC.
The data structure is as below:
```go
type Configs struct {
// LoadConcurrency is the config for data path load concurrency per node.
// ReadOnly sets the backupPVC's access mode as read only.
ReadOnly bool `json:"readOnly,omitempty"`
}
```
### Sample
A sample of the ConfigMap is as below:
```json
{
"backupPVC": {
"storage-class-1": {
"storageClass": "snapshot-storage-class",
"readOnly": true
},
"storage-class-2": {
"storageClass": "snapshot-storage-class"
},
"storage-class-3": {
"readOnly": true
}
}
}
```
To create the configMap, users need to save something like the above sample to a json file and then run below command:
```
kubectl create cm <ConfigMap name> -n velero --from-file=<json file name>
```
### Implementation
The `backupPVC` is passed to the exposer and the exposer sets the related specification and create the backupPVC.
If `backupPVC.storageClass` doesn't exist or set as empty, the sourcePVC's storage class will be used.
If `backupPVC.readOnly` is set to true, `ReadOnlyMany` will be the only value set to the backupPVC's `accessModes`, otherwise, `ReadWriteOnce` is used.
Once `backupPVC.storageClass` is set, users must make sure that the specified storage class exists in the cluster and can be used the the backupPVC, otherwise, the corresponding DataUpload CR will stay in `Accepted` phase until the prepare timeout (by default 30min).
Once `backupPVC.readOnly` is set to true, users must make sure that the storage supports to create a `ReadOnlyMany` PVC from a snapshot, otherwise, the corresponding DataUpload CR will stay in `Accepted` phase until the prepare timeout (by default 30min).
Once above problems happen, the DataUpload CR is cancelled after prepare timeout and the backupPVC and backupPod will be deleted, so there is no way to tell the cause is one of the above problems or others.
To help the troubleshooting, we can add some diagnostic mechanism to discover the status of the backupPod before deleting it as a result of the prepare timeout.
**Backup Storage**: The storage to store the backup data. Check [Unified Repository design][1] for details.
**Backup Repository**: Backup repository is layered between BR data movers and Backup Storage to provide BR related features that is introduced in [Unified Repository design][1].
## Background
According to the [Unified Repository design][1] Velero uses selectable backup repositories for various backup/restore methods, i.e., fs-backup, volume snapshot data movement, etc. To achieve the best performance, backup repositories may need to be configured according to the running environments.
For example, if there are sufficient CPU and memory resources in the environment, users may enable compression feature provided by the backup repository, so as to achieve the best backup throughput.
As another example, if the local disk space is not sufficient, users may want to constraint the backup repository's cache size, so as to prevent the repository from running out of the disk space.
Therefore, it is worthy to allow users to configure some essential parameters of the backup repsoitories, and the configuration may vary from backup repositories.
## Goals
- Create a mechanism for users to specify configurations for backup repositories
## Non-Goals
## Solution
### BackupRepository CRD
After a backup repository is initialized, a BackupRepository CR is created to represent the instance of the backup repository. The BackupRepository's spec is a core parameter used by Unified Repo modules when interactive with the backup repsoitory. Therefore, we can add the configurations into the BackupRepository CR called ```repositoryConfig```.
The configurations may be different varying from backup repositories, therefore, we will not define each of the configurations explicitly. Instead, we add a map in the BackupRepository's spec to take any configuration to be set to the backup repository.
During various operations to the backup repository, the Unified Repo modules will retrieve from the map for the specific configuration that is required at that time. So even though it is specified, a configuration may not be visited/hornored if the operations don't require it for the specific backup repository, this won't bring any issue. When and how a configuration is hornored is decided by the configuration itself and should be clarified in the configuration's specification.
Below is the new BackupRepository's spec after adding the configuration map:
```yaml
spec:
description: BackupRepositorySpec is the specification for a BackupRepository.
properties:
backupStorageLocation:
description: |-
BackupStorageLocation is the name of the BackupStorageLocation
that should contain this repository.
type: string
maintenanceFrequency:
description: MaintenanceFrequency is how often maintenance should
be run.

- restic
- ""
type: string
resticIdentifier:

this repository.
type: string
volumeNamespace:
description: |-
VolumeNamespace is the namespace this backup repository contains
pod volume backups for.
type: string
required:
- backupStorageLocation
- maintenanceFrequency
- resticIdentifier
- volumeNamespace
type: object
```
### BackupRepository configMap
The BackupRepository CR is not created explicitly by a Velero CLI, but created as part of the backup/restore/maintenance operation if the CR doesn't exist. As a result, users don't have any way to specify the configurations before the BackupRepository CR is created.
Therefore, a BackupRepository configMap is introduced as a template of the configurations to be applied to the backup repository CR.
When the backup repository CR is created by the BackupRepository controller, the configurations in the configMap are copied to the ```repositoryConfig``` field.
For an existing BackupRepository CR, the configMap is never visited, if users want to modify the configuration value, they should directly edit the BackupRepository CR.
The BackupRepository configMap is created by users in velero installation namespace. The configMap name must be specified in the velero server parameter ```--backup-repository-configmap```, otherwise, it won't effect.
If the configMap name is specified but the configMap doesn't exist by the time of a backup repository is created, the configMap name is ignored.
For any reason, if the configMap doesn't effect, nothing is specified to the backup repository CR, so the Unified Repo modules use the hard-coded values to configure the backup repository.
The BackupRepository configMap supports backup repository type specific configurations, even though users can only specify one configMap.
So in the configMap struct, multiple entries are supported, indexed by the backup repository type. During the backup repository creation, the configMap is searched by the repository type.
### Configurations
With the above mechanisms, any kind of configuration could be added. Here list the configurations defined at present:
```cacheLimitMB```: specifies the size limit(in MB) for the local data cache. The more data is cached locally, the less data may be downloaded from the backup storage, so the better performance may be achieved. Practically, users can specify any size that is smaller than the free space so that the disk space won't run out. This parameter is for each repository connection, that is, users could change it before connecting to the repository. If a backup repository doesn't use local cache, this parameter will be ignored. For Kopia repository, this parameter is supported.
```enableCompression```: specifies to enable/disable compression for a backup repsotiory. Most of the backup repositories support the data compression feature, if it is not supported by a backup repository, this parameter is ignored. Most of the backup repositories support to dynamically enable/disable compression, so this parameter is defined to be used whenever creating a write connection to the backup repository, if the dynamically changing is not supported, this parameter will be hornored only when initializing the backup repository. For Kopia repository, this parameter is supported and can be dynamically modified.
### Sample
Below is an example of the BackupRepository configMap with the configurations:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: <config-name>
namespace: velero
data:
<repository-type-1>: |
{
"cacheLimitMB": 2048,
"enableCompression": true
}
<repository-type-2>: |
{
"cacheLimitMB": 1,
"enableCompression": false
}
```
To create the configMap, users need to save something like the above sample to a file and then run below commands:

(Ex: primary-secondary database pods in a cluster).
## Goals
- Enable user to specify an order of backup resources belong to specific resource type
- Enable user to specify an order of backup resources belong to specific resource type
## Alternatives Considered
- Use a plugin to backup an resources and all the sub resources. For example use a plugin for StatefulSet and backup pods belong to the StatefulSet in specific order. This plugin solution is not generic and requires plugin for each resource type.
This design includes the changes to the BackupItemAction (BIA) api design as required by the [Item Action Progress Monitoring](general-progress-monitoring.md) feature.
The BIA v2 interface will have two new methods, and the Execute() return signature will be modified.
If there are any additional BIA API changes that are needed in the same Velero release cycle as this change, those can be added here as well.
## Background
This API change is needed to facilitate long-running plugin actions that may not be complete when the Execute() method returns.
It is an optional feature, so plugins which don't need this feature can simply return an empty operation ID and the new methods can be no-ops.
This will allow long-running plugin actions to continue in the background while Velero moves on to the next plugin, the next item, etc.
## Goals
- Allow for BIA Execute() to optionally initiate a long-running operation and report on operation status.
## Non Goals
- Allowing velero control over when the long-running operation begins.
## High-Level Design
As per the [Plugin Versioning](plugin-versioning.md) design, a new BIAv2 plugin `.proto` file will be created to define the GRPC interface.
v2 go files will also be created in `plugin/clientmgmt/backupitemaction` and `plugin/framework/backupitemaction`, and a new PluginKind will be created.
The velero Backup process will be modified to reference v2 plugins instead of v1 plugins.
An adapter will be created so that any existing BIA v1 plugin can be executed as a v2 plugin when executing a backup.
## Detailed Design
### proto changes (compiled into golang by protoc)
The v2 BackupItemAction.proto will be like the current v1 version with the following changes:
To support these new rpc methods, we define new request/response message types:
```
message BackupItemActionProgressRequest {
string plugin = 1;
string operationID = 2;
bytes backup = 3;
}
message BackupItemActionProgressResponse {
generated.OperationProgress progress = 1;
}
message BackupItemActionCancelRequest {
string plugin = 1;
string operationID = 2;
bytes backup = 3;
}
```
One new shared message type will be added, as this will also be needed for v2 RestoreItemAction and VolmeSnapshotter:
```
message OperationProgress {
bool completed = 1;
string err = 2;
int64 nCompleted = 3;
int64 nTotal = 4;
string operationUnits = 5;
string description = 6;
google.protobuf.Timestamp started = 7;
google.protobuf.Timestamp updated = 8;
}
```
In addition to the two new rpc methods added to the BackupItemAction interface, there is also a new `Name()` method. This one is only actually used internally by Velero to get the name that the plugin was registered with, but it still must be defined in a plugin which implements BackupItemActionV2 in order to implement the interface. It doesn't really matter what it returns, though, as this particular method is not delegated to the plugin via RPC calls. The new (and modified) interface methods for `BackupItemAction` are as follows:
A new PluginKind, `BackupItemActionV2`, will be created, and the backup process will be modified to use this plugin kind.
See [Plugin Versioning](plugin-versioning.md) for more details on implementation plans, including v1 adapters, etc.
## Compatibility
The included v1 adapter will allow any existing BackupItemAction plugin to work as expected, with an empty operation ID returned from Execute() and no-op Progress() and Cancel() methods.
## Implementation
This will be implemented during the Velero 1.11 development cycle.

The current filter (IncludedResources/ExcludedResources + IncludeClusterResources flag) is not enough for some special cases, e.g. all namespace-scoped resources + some kind of cluster-scoped resource and all namespace-scoped resources + cluster-scoped resource excludes.
Propose to add a new group of resource filtering parameters, which can distinguish cluster-scoped and namespace-scoped resources.
## Background
There are two sets of resource filters for Velero: `IncludedNamespaces/ExcludedNamespaces` and `IncludedResources/ExcludedResources`.
`IncludedResources` means only including the resource types specified in the parameter. Both cluster-scoped and namespace-scoped resources are handled in this parameter by now.
The k8s resources are separated into cluster-scoped and namespace-scoped.
As a result, it's hard to include all resources in one group and only including specified resource in the other group.
## Goals
- Make Velero can support more complicated namespace-scoped and cluster-scoped resources filtering scenarios in backup.
## Non Goals
- Enrich the resource filtering rules, for example, advanced PV filtering and filtering by resource names.
## High-Level Design
Four new parameters are added into command `velero backup create`: `--include-cluster-scoped-resources`, `--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources`, `--include-namespace-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources`.
`--include-cluster-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources` are used to filter cluster-scoped resources included or excluded in backup per resource type.
`--include-namespace-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources` are used to filter namespace-scoped resources included or excluded in backup per resource type.
Restore and other code pieces also use resource filtering will be handled in future releases.
### Parameters Rules
*`--include-cluster-scoped-resources`, `--include-namespace-scoped-resources`, `--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources` valid value include `*` and comma separated string. Each element of the CSV string should a k8s resource name. The format should be `resource.group`, such as `storageclasses.storage.k8s.io.`.
*`--include-cluster-scoped-resources`, `--include-namespace-scoped-resources`, `--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources` parameters are mutual exclusive with `--include-cluster-resources`, `--include-resources` and `--exclude-resources` parameters. If both sets of parameters are provisioned, validation failure should be returned.
*`--include-cluster-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources` should only contain cluster-scoped resource type names. If namespace-scoped resource type names are included, they are ignored.
* If there are conflicts between `--include-cluster-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources` specified resources type lists, `--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources` parameter has higher priority.
*`--include-namespace-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources` should only contain namespace-scoped resource type names. If cluster-scoped resource type names are included, they are ignored.
* If there are conflicts between `--include-namespace-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources` specified resources type lists, `--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources` parameter has higher priority.
* If `--include-namespace-scoped-resources` is not present, it means all namespace-scoped resources are included per resource type.
* If both `--include-cluster-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources` are not present, it means no additional cluster-scoped resource is included per resource type, just as the existing `--include-cluster-resources` parameter not setting value. Cluster-scoped resources are related to the namespace-scoped resources, which means those are returned in the namespace-scoped resources' BackupItemAction's result AdditionalItems array, are still included in backup by default. Taking backing up PVC scenario as an example, PVC is namespace-scoped, PV is cluster-scoped. PVC's BIA will include PVC related PV into backup too.
### Using scenarios:
Please notice, if the scenario give the example of using old filtering parameters (`--include-cluster-resources`, `--include-resources` and `--exclude-resources`), that means the old parameters also work for this case. If old parameters example is not given, that means they don't work for this scenario, only new parameters (`--include-cluster-scoped-resources`, `--include-namespace-scoped-resources`, `--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources` and `--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources`) work.
#### no namespace-scoped resources + some cluster-scoped resources
The following command means backup no namespace-scoped resources and some cluster-scoped resources.
``` bash
velero backup create <backup-name>
--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources=*
--include-cluster-scoped-resources=storageclass
```
#### no namespace-scoped resources + all cluster-scoped resources
The following command means backup no namespace-scoped resources and all cluster-scoped resources.
``` bash
velero backup create <backup-name>
--exclude-namespace-scoped-resources=*
--include-cluster-scoped-resources=*
```
#### some namespace-scoped resources + no cluster-scoped resources
##### scenario 1
The following commands mean backup all resources in namespaces default and kube-system, and no cluster-scoped resources.
Example of new parameters:
``` bash
velero backup create <backup-name>
--include-namespaces=default,kube-system
--exclude-cluster-scoped-resources=*
```
Example of old parameters:
``` bash
velero backup create <backup-name>
--include-namespaces=default,kube-system
--include-cluster-resources=false
```
##### scenario 2
The following commands mean backup PVC, Deployment, Service, Endpoint, Pod and ReplicaSet resources in all namespaces, and no cluster-scoped resources. Although PVC's related PV should be included, due to no cluster-scoped resources are included, so they are ruled out too.
The following commands mean backup PVC, Deployment, Service, Endpoint, Pod and ReplicaSet resources in namespace default and kube-system, and no cluster-scoped resources. Although PVC's related PV should be included, due to no cluster-scoped resources are included, so they are ruled out too.

#### some namespace-scoped resources + some additional cluster-scoped resources
##### scenario 1
This means backup all resources in namespace in default, kube-system, and related cluster-scoped resources, plus all StorageClass resources.
``` bash
velero backup create <backup-name>
--include-namespaces=default,kube-system
--include-cluster-scoped-resources=storageclass

This means backup PVC, Deployment, Service, Endpoint, Pod and ReplicaSet resources in default and kube-system namespaces, and related cluster-scoped resources, plus all cluster-scoped resources except StorageClass type resources.
#### all namespace-scoped resources + all cluster-scoped resources
The following commands have the same meaning: backup all namespace-scoped resources, and all cluster-scoped resources.
``` bash
velero backup create <backup-name>
--include-cluster-scoped-resources=*
```
``` bash
velero backup create <backup-name>
--include-cluster-resources=true
```
#### describe command change
In `velero backup describe` command, the four new parameters should be outputted too.
``` bash
velero backup describe <backup-name>
......
Namespaces:
Included: ns2
Excluded: <none>
Resources:
Included cluster-scoped: StorageClass,PersistentVolume
Excluded cluster-scoped: <none>
Included namespace-scoped: default
Excluded namespace-scoped: <none>
......
```
**Note:** `velero restore` command doesn't support those four new parameter in Velero v1.11, but `velero schedule` supports the four new parameters through backup specification.
## Detailed Design
With adding `IncludedNamespaceScopedResources`, `ExcludedNamespaceScopedResources`, `IncludedClusterScopedResources` and `ExcludedClusterScopedResources`, the `BackupSpec` looks like:
``` go
type BackupSpec struct {
......
// IncludedResources is a slice of resource names to include
// in the backup. If empty, all resources are included.
Proposal from Jibu Data [Issue 5120](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/5120#issue-1304534563)
## Security Considerations
No security impact.
## Compatibility
The four new parameters cannot be mixed with existing resource filter parameters: `IncludedResources`, `ExcludedResources` and `IncludeClusterResources`.
If the new parameters and old parameters both appears in command line, or are specified in backup spec, the command line and the backup should fail.
## Implementation
This change should be included into Velero v1.11.
New parameters will coexist with `IncludedResources`, `ExcludedResources` and `IncludeClusterResources`.
Plan to deprecate `IncludedResources`, `ExcludedResources` and `IncludeClusterResources` in future releases, but also open to the community's feedback.
## Open Issues
`LabelSelector/OrLabelSelectors` apply to namespace-scoped resources.
It may be reasonable to make them also working on cluster-scoped resources.

# Add support for `ExistingResourcePolicy` to restore API
## Abstract
Velero currently does not support any restore policy on kubernetes resources that are already present in-cluster. Velero skips over the restore of the resource if it already exists in the namespace/cluster irrespective of whether the resource present in the restore is the same or different from the one present on the cluster. It is desired that Velero gives the option to the user to decide whether or not the resource in backup should overwrite the one present in the cluster.

This is intended as a replacement for the previously-approved Upload Progress Monitoring design
([Upload Progress Monitoring](upload-progress.md)) in order to expand the supported use cases beyond
snapshot uploads to include what was previously called Async Backup/Restore Item Actions. This
updated design should handle the combined set of use cases for those previously separate designs.
Volume snapshotter plugin are used by Velero to take snapshots of persistent volume contents.
Depending on the underlying storage system, those snapshots may be available to use immediately,
they may be uploaded to stable storage internally by the plugin or they may need to be uploaded after
the snapshot has been taken. We would like for Velero to continue on to the next part of the backup as quickly
as possible but we would also like the backup to not be marked as complete until it is a usable backup. We'd also
eventually like to bring the control of upload under the control of Velero and allow the user to make decisions
about the ultimate destination of backup data independent of the storage system they're using.
We would also like any internal or third party Backup or Restore Item Action to have the option of
making use of this same ability to run some external process without blocking the current backup or
restore operation. Beyond Volume Snapshotters, this is also needed for data mover operations on both
backup and restore, and potentially useful for other third party operations -- for example
in-cluster registry image backup or restore could make use of this feature in a third party plugin).
### Glossary
- <b>BIA</b>: BackupItemAction
- <b>RIA</b>: RestoreItemAction
## Examples
- AWS - AWS snapshots return quickly, but are then uploaded in the background and cannot be used until EBS moves
the data into S3 internally.
- vSphere - The vSphere plugin takes a local snapshot and then the vSphere plugin uploads the data to S3. The local
snapshot is usable before the upload completes.
- Restic - Does not go through the volume snapshot path. Restic backups will block Velero progress
until completed. However, with the more generalized approach in the revised design, restic/kopia
backup and restore *could* make use of this framework if their actions are refactored as
Backup/RestoreItemActions.
- Data Movers
- Data movers are asynchronous processes executed inside backup/restore item actions that applies to a specific Kubernetes resources. A common use case for data mover is to backup/restore PVCs whose data we want to move to some form of backup storage outside of using velero kopia/restic implementations.
- Workflow
- User takes velero backup of PVC A
- BIA plugin applies to PVCs with compatible storage driver
- BIA plugin triggers data mover
- Most common use case would be for the plugin action to create a new CR which would
trigger an external controller action
- Another possible use case would be for the plugin to run its own async action in a
goroutine, although this would be less resilient to plugin container restarts.
- BIA plugin returns
- Velero backup process continues
- Main velero backup process monitors running BIA threads via gRPC to determine if process is done and healthy
## Primary changes from the original Upload Progress Monitoring design
The most fundamental change here is that rather than proposing a new special-purpose
SnapshotItemAction, the existing BackupItemAction plugin will be modified to accommodate an optional
snapshot (or other item operation) ID return. The primary reasons for this change are as follows:
1. The intended scope has moved beyond snapshot processing, so it makes sense to support
asynchronous operations in other backup or restore item actions.
2. We expect to have plugin API versioning implemented in Velero 1.10, making it feasible to
implement changes in the existing plugin APIs now.
3. We will need this feature on both backup and restore, meaning that if we took the "new plugin
type" approach, we'd need two new plugin types.
4. Other than the snapshot/operation ID return, the rest of the plugin processing is identical to
Backup/RestoreItemActions. With separate plugin types, we'd have to repeat all of that logic
(including dealing with additional items, etc.) twice.
The other major change is that we will be applying this to both backups and restores, although the
Volume Snapshotter use case only needs this on backup. This means that everything we're doing around
backup phase and workflow will also need to be done for restore.
Then there are various minor changes around terminology to make things more generic. Instead of
"snapshotID", we'll have "operationID" (which for volume snapshotters will be a snapshot
ID).
## Goals
- Enable monitoring of backup/restore item action operations that continue after snapshotting and other operations have completed
- Keep non-usable backups and restores (upload/persistence has not finished, etc.) from appearing as completed
- Make use of plugin API versioning functionality to manage changes to Backup/RestoreItemAction interfaces
- Enable vendors to plug their own data movers into velero using BIA/RIA plugins
## Non-goals
- Today, Velero is unable to recover from an in progress backup when the velero server crashes (pod is deleted). This has an impact on running asynchronous processes, but it’s not something we intend to solve in this design.
## Models
### Internal configuration and management
In this model, movement of the snapshot to stable storage is under the control of the snapshot
plugin. Decisions about where and when the snapshot gets moved to stable storage are not
directly controlled by Velero. This is the model for the current VolumeSnapshot plugins.
### Velero controlled management
In this model, the snapshot is moved to external storage under the control of Velero. This
enables Velero to move data between storage systems. This also allows backup partners to use
Velero to snapshot data and then move the data into their backup repository.
## Backup and Restore phases
Velero currently has backup/restore phases "InProgress" and "Completed". A backup moves to the
Completed phase when all of the volume snapshots have completed and the Kubernetes metadata has been
written into the object store. However, the actual data movement may be happening in the background
after the backup has been marked "Completed". The backup is not actually a stable backup until the
data has been persisted properly. In some cases (e.g. AWS) the backup cannot be restored from until
the snapshots have been persisted.
Once the snapshots have been taken, however, it is possible for additional backups or restores (as
long as they don't use not-yet-completed backups) to be made without interference. Waiting until
all data has been moved before starting the next backup will slow the progress of the system without
adding any actual benefit to the user.
New backup/restore phases, "WaitingForPluginOperations" and
"WaitingForPluginOperationsPartiallyFailed" will be introduced. When a backup or restore has
entered one of these phases, Velero is free to start another backup/restore. The backup/restore
will remain in the "WaitingForPluginOperations" phase until all BIA/RIA operations have completed
(for example, for a volume snapshotter, until all data has been successfully moved to persistent
storage). The backup/restore will not fail once it reaches this phase, although an error return
from a plugin could cause a backup or restore to move to "PartiallyFailed". If the backup is
deleted (cancelled), the plugins will attempt to delete the snapshots and stop the data movement -
this may not be possible with all storage systems.
In addition, for backups (but not restores), there will also be two additional phases, "Finalizing"
and "FinalizingPartiallyFailed", which will handle any steps required after plugin operations have
all completed. Initially, this will just include adding any required resources to the backup that
might have changed during asynchronous operation execution, although eventually other cleanup
actions could be added to this phase.
### State progression

### New
When a backup/restore request is initially created, it is in the "New" phase.
The next state is either "InProgress" or "FailedValidation"
### FailedValidation
If the backup/restore request is incorrectly formed, it goes to the "FailedValidation" phase and
terminates
### InProgress
When work on the backup/restore begins, it moves to the "InProgress" phase. It remains in the
"InProgress" phase until all pre/post execution hooks have been executed, all snapshots have been
taken and the Kubernetes metadata and backup/restore info is safely written to the object store
plugin.
In the current implementation, Restic backups will move data during the "InProgress" phase. In the
future, it may be possible to combine a snapshot with a Restic (or equivalent) backup which would
allow for data movement to be handled in the "WaitingForPluginOperations" phase,
The next phase would be "WaitingForPluginOperations" for backups or restores which have unfinished
asynchronous plugin operations and no errors so far, "WaitingForPluginOperationsPartiallyFailed" for
backups or restores which have unfinished asynchronous plugin operations at least one error,
"Completed" for restores with no unfinished asynchronous plugin operations and no errors,
"PartiallyFailed" for restores with no unfinished asynchronous plugin operations and at least one
error, "Finalizing" for backups with no unfinished asynchronous plugin operations and no errors,
"FinalizingPartiallyFailed" for backups with no unfinished asynchronous plugin operations and at
least one error, or "PartiallyFailed". Backups/restores which would have a final phase of
"Completed" or "PartiallyFailed" may move to the "WaitingForPluginOperations" or
"WaitingForPluginOperationsPartiallyFailed" state. A backup/restore which will be marked "Failed"
will go directly to the "Failed" phase. Uploads may continue in the background for snapshots that
were taken by a "Failed" backup/restore, but no progress will not be monitored or updated. If there
are any operations in progress when a backup is moved to the "Failed" phase (although with the
current workflow, that shouldn't happen), Cancel() should be called on these operations. When a
"Failed" backup is deleted, all snapshots will be deleted and at that point any uploads still in
progress should be aborted.
### WaitingForPluginOperations (new)
The "WaitingForPluginOperations" phase signifies that the main part of the backup/restore, including
snapshotting has completed successfully and uploading and any other asynchronous BIA/RIA plugin
operations are continuing. In the event of an error during this phase, the phase will change to
WaitingForPluginOperationsPartiallyFailed. On success, the phase changes to
"Finalizing" for backups and "Completed" for restores. Backups cannot be
restored from when they are in the WaitingForPluginOperations state.
Currently, Velero doesn't have one flexible way to handle volumes.
If users want to skip the backup of volumes or only backup some volumes in different namespaces in batch, currently they need to use the opt-in and opt-out approach one by one, or use label-selector but if it has big different labels on each different related pod, which is cumbersome when they have lots of volumes to handle with. it would be convenient if Velero could provide policies to handle the backup of volumes just by `some specific volumes conditions`.
## Background
As of Today, Velero has lots of filters to handle (backup or skip backup) resources including resources filters like `IncludedNamespaces, ExcludedNamespaces`, label selectors like `LabelSelector, OrLabelSelectors`, annotation like `backup.velero.io/must-include-additional-items` etc. But it's not enough flexible to handle volumes, we need one generic way to handle volumes.
## Goals
- Introducing flexible policies to handle volumes, and do not patch any labels or annotations to the pods or volumes.
## Non-Goals
- We only handle volumes for backup and do not support restore.
- Currently, only handles volumes, and does not support other resources.
- Only environment-unrelated and platform-independent general volumes attributes are supported, do not support volumes attributes related to a specific environment.
## Use-cases/Scenarios
### Skip backup volumes by some attributes
Users want to skip PV with the requirements:
- option to skip all PV data
- option to skip specified PV type (RBD, NFS)
- option to skip specified PV size
- option to skip specified storage-class
## High-Level Design
First, Velero will provide the user with one YAML file template and all supported volume policies will be in.
Second, writing your own configuration file by imitating the YAML template, it could be partial volume policies from the template.
Third, create one configmap from your own configuration file, and the configmap should be in Velero install namespace.
Fourth, create a backup with the command `velero backup create --resource-policies-configmap $policiesConfigmap`, which will reference the current backup to your volume policies. At the same time, Velero will validate all volume policies user imported, the backup will fail if the volume policies are not supported or some items could not be parsed.
Fifth, the current backup CR will record the reference of volume policies configmap.
Sixth, Velero first filters volumes by other current supported filters, at last, it will apply the volume policies to the filtered volumes to get the final matched volume to handle.
## Detailed Design
The volume resources policies should contain a list of policies which is the combination of conditions and related `action`, when target volumes meet the conditions, the related `action` will take effection.
Below is the API Design for the user configuration:
### API Design
```go
typeVolumeActionTypestring
constSkipVolumeActionType="skip"
// Action defined as one action for a specific way of backup
typeActionstruct{
// Type defined specific type of action, it could be 'file-system-backup', 'volume-snapshot', or 'skip' currently
TypeVolumeActionType`yaml:"type"`
// Parameters defined map of parameters when executing a specific action
// we may support other resource policies in the future, and they could be added separately
// OtherResourcePolicies: []OtherResourcePolicy
}
```
The policies YAML config file would look like this:
```yaml
version:v1
volumePolicies:
# it's a list and if the input item matches the first policy, the latters will be ignored
# each policy consists of a list of conditions and an action
# each key in the object is one condition, and one policy will apply to resources that meet ALL conditions
- conditions:
# capacity condition matches the volumes whose capacity falls into the range
capacity:"0,100Gi"
csi:
driver:aws.ebs.csi.driver
fsType:ext4
storageClass:
- gp2
- ebs-sc
action:
type:volume-snapshot
parameters:
# optional parameters which are custom-defined parameters when doing an action
volume-snapshot-timeout:"6h"
- conditions:
capacity:"0,100Gi"
storageClass:
- gp2
- ebs-sc
action:
type:file-system-backup
- conditions:
nfs:
server:192.168.200.90
action:
# type of file-system-backup could be defined a second time
type:file-system-backup
- conditions:
nfs:{}
action:
type:skip
- conditions:
csi:
driver:aws.efs.csi.driver
action:
type:skip
```
### Filter rules
#### VolumePolicies
The whole resource policies consist of groups of volume policies.
For one specific volume policy which is a combination of one action and serval conditions. which means one action and serval conditions are the smallest unit of volume policy.
Volume policies are a list and if the target volumes match the first policy, the latter will be ignored, which would reduce the complexity of matching volumes especially when there are multiple complex volumes policies.
#### Action
`Action` defined one action for a specific way of backup:
- if choosing `Kopia` or `Restic`, the action value would be `file-system-backup`.
- if choosing volume snapshot, the action value would be `volume-snapshot`.
- if choosing skip backup of volume, the action value would be `skip`, and it will skip backup of volume no matter is `file-system-backup` or `volume-snapshot`.
The policies could be extended for later other ways of backup, which means it may have some other `Action` value that will be assigned in the future.
Both `file-system-backup``volume-snapshot`, and `skip` could be partially or fully configured in the YAML file. And configuration could take effect only for the related action.
#### Conditions
The conditions are serials of volume attributes, the matched Volumes should meet all the volume attributes in one conditions configuration.
##### Supported conditions
In Velero 1.11, we want to support the volume attributes listed below:
- capacity: matching volumes have the capacity that falls within this `capacity` range.
- storageClass: matching volumes those with specified `storageClass`, such as `gp2`, `ebs-sc` in eks.
- matching volumes that used specified volume sources.
##### Parameters
Parameters are optional for one specific action. For example, it could be `csi-snapshot-timeout: 6h` for CSI snapshot.
#### Special rule definitions:
- One single condition in `Conditions` with a specific key and empty value, which means the value matches any value. For example, if the `conditions.nfs` is `{}`, it means if `NFS` is used as `persistentVolumeSource` in Persistent Volume will be skipped no matter what the NFS server or NFS Path is.
- The size of each single filter value should limit to 256 bytes in case of an unfriendly long variable assignment.
- For capacity for PV or size for Volume, the value should include the lower value and upper value concatenated by commas. And it has several combinations below:
- "0,5Gi" or "0Gi,5Gi" which means capacity or size matches from 0 to 5Gi, including value 0 and value 5Gi
- ",5Gi" which is equal to "0,5Gi"
- "5Gi," which means capacity or size matches larger than 5Gi, including value 5Gi
- "5Gi" which is not supported and will be failed in validating configuration.
### Configmap Reference
Currently, resources policies are defined in `BackupSpec` struct, it will be more and more bloated with adding more and more filters which makes the size of `Backup` CR bigger and bigger, so we want to store the resources policies in configmap, and `Backup` CRD reference to current configmap.
the `configmap` user created would be like this:
```yaml
apiVersion:v1
data:
policies.yaml:
----
version:v1
volumePolicies:
- conditions:
capacity:"0,100Gi"
csi:
driver:aws.ebs.csi.driver
fsType:ext4
storageClass:
- gp2
- ebs-sc
action:
type:volume-snapshot
parameters:
volume-snapshot-timeout:"6h"
kind:ConfigMap
metadata:
creationTimestamp:"2023-01-16T14:08:12Z"
name:backup01
namespace:velero
resourceVersion:"17891025"
uid:b73e7f76-fc9e-4e72-8e2e-79db717fe9f1
```
A new variable `resourcePolices` would be added into `BackupSpec`, it's value is assigned with the current resources policy configmap
```yaml
apiVersion:velero.io/v1
kind:Backup
metadata:
name:backup-1
spec:
resourcePolices:
refType:Configmap
ref:backup01
...
```
The configmap only stores those assigned values, not the whole resources policies.
The name of the configmap is `$BackupName`, and it's in Velero install namespace.
#### Resource policies configmap related
The life cycle of resource policies configmap is managed by the user instead of Velero, which could make it more flexible and easy to maintain.
- The resource policies configmap will remain in the cluster until the user deletes it.
- Unlike backup, the resource policies configmap will not sync to the new cluster. So if the user wants to use one resource policies that do not sync to the new cluster, the backup will fail with resource policies not found.
- One resource policies configmap could be used by multiple backups.
- If the backup referenced resource policies configmap is been deleted, it won't affect the already existing backups, but if the user wants to reference the deleted configmap to create one new backup, it will fail with resource policies not found.
#### Versioning
We want to introduce the version field in the YAML data to contain break changes. Therefore, we won't follow a semver paradigm, for example in v1.11 the data look like this:
```yaml
version:v1
volumePolicies:
....
```
Hypothetically, in v1.12 we add new fields like clusterResourcePolicies, the version will remain as v1 b/c this change is backward compatible:
```yaml
version:v1
volumePolicies:
....
clusterResourcePolicies:
....
```
Suppose in v1.13, we have to introduce a break change, at this time we will bump up the version:
```yaml
version:v2
# This is just an example, we should try to avoid break change
volume-policies:
....
```
We only support one version in Velero, so it won't be recognized if backup using a former version of YAML data.
#### Multiple versions supporting
To manage the effort for maintenance, we will only support one version of the data in Velero. Suppose that there is one break change for the YAML data in Velero v1.13, we should bump up the config version to v2, and v2 is only supported in v1.13. For the existing data with version: v1, it should migrate them when the Velero startup, this won't hurt the existing backup schedule CR as it only references the configmap. To make the migration easier, the configmap for such resource filter policies should be labeled manually before Velero startup like this, Velero will migrate the labeled configmap.
We only support migrating from the previous version to the current version in case of complexity in data format conversion, which users could regenerate configmap in the new YAML data version, and it is easier to do version control.
```yaml
apiVersion:v1
kind:ConfigMap
metadata:
labels:
# This label can be optional but if this is not set, the backup will fail after the breaking change and the user will need to update the data manually
velero.io/resource-filter-policies:"true"
name:example
namespace:velero
data:
.....
```
### Display of resources policies
As the resource policies configmap is referenced by backup CR, the policies in configmap are not so intuitive, so we need to integrate policies in configmap to the output of the command `velero backup describe`, and make it more readable.
## Compatibility
Currently, we have these resources filters:
- IncludedNamespaces
- ExcludedNamespaces
- IncludedResources
- ExcludedResources
- LabelSelector
- OrLabelSelectors
- IncludeClusterResources
- UseVolumeSnapshots
- velero.io/exclude-from-backup=true
- backup.velero.io/backup-volumes-excludes
- backup.velero.io/backup-volumes
- backup.velero.io/must-include-additional-items
So it should be careful with the combination of volumes resources policies and the above resources filters.
- When volume resource policies conflict with the above resource filters, we should respect the above resource filters. For example, if the user used the opt-out approach to `backup.velero.io/backup-volumes-excludes` annotation on the pod and also defined include volume in volumes resources filters configuration, we should respect the opt-out approach to skip backup of the volume.
- If volume resource policies conflict with themselves, the first matched policy will be respect.
## Implementation
This implementation should be included in Velero v1.11.0
Currently, in Velero v1.11.0 we only support `Action`
`skip`, and support `file-system-backup` and `volume-snapshot` for the later version. And `Parameters` in `Action` is also not supported in v1.11.0, we will support in a later version.
In Velero 1.11, we supported Conditions and format listed below:
- capacity
```yaml
capacity: "10Gi,100Gi" // match volume has the size between 10Gi and 100Gi
```
- storageClass
```yaml
storageClass: // match volume has the storage class gp2 or ebs-sc
- gp2
- ebs-sc
```
- volume sources (currently only support below format and attributes)
1. Specify the volume source name, the name could be `nfs`, `rbd`, `iscsi`, `csi` etc.
```yaml
nfs : {} // match any volume has nfs volume source
csi : {} // match any volume has csi volume source
```
2. Specify details for the related volume source (currently we only support csi driver filter and nfs server or path filter)
```yaml
csi: // match volume has nfs volume source and using `aws.efs.csi.driver`
driver: aws.efs.csi.driver
nfs: // match volume has nfs volume source and using below server and path
server: 192.168.200.90
path: /mnt/nfs
```
The conditions also could be extended in later versions, such as we could further supporting filtering other volume source detail not only NFS and CSI.
## Alternatives Considered
### Configmap VS CRD
Here we support the user define the YAML config file and storing the resources policies into configmap, also we could define one resource's policies CRD and store policies imported from the user-defined config file in the related CR.
But CRD is more like one kind of resource with status, Kubernetes API Server handles the lifecycle of a CR and handles it in different statuses. Compared to CRD, Configmap is more focused to store data.
## Open Issues
Should we support more than one version of filter policies configmap?

- [Conditional patches using test operation](#conditional-patches-using-test-operation)
Currently velero supports substituting certain values in the K8s resources during restoration like changing the namespace, changing the storage class, etc. This proposal is to add generic support for JSON substitutions in the restore workflow. This will allow the user specify filters for particular resources and then specify a JSON patch (operator, path, value) to apply on a resource. This will allow the user to substitute any value in the K8s resource without having to write a new RestoreItemAction plugin for each kind of substitution.
<!-- ## Background -->
## Goals
- Allow the user to specify a GroupResource, Name(optional), JSON patch for modification.
- Allow the user to specify multiple JSON patch.
## Non Goals
- Deprecating the existing RestoreItemAction plugins for standard substitutions(like changing the namespace, changing the storage class, etc.)
## User Stories
### Scenario 1
- Alice has a PVC which is encrypted using a DES(Disk Encryption Set - Azure example) mentioned in the PVC YAML through the StorageClass YAML.
- Alice wishes to restore this snapshot to a different cluster. The new cluster does not have access to the same DES to provision disk's out of the snapshot.
- She wishes to use a different DES for all the PVCs which use the certain DES.
- She can use this feature to substitute the DES in all StorageClass YAMLs with the new DES without having to create a fresh storageclass, or understanding the name of the storageclass.
### Scenario 2
- Bob has multi zone cluster where nodes are spread across zones.
- Bob has pinned certain pods to a particular zone using nodeSelector/ nodeaffinity on the pod spec.
- In case of zone outage of the cloudprovider, Bob wishes to restore the workload to a different namespace in the same cluster, but change the zone pinning of the workload.
- Bob can use this feature to substitute the nodeSelector/ nodeaffinity in the pod spec with the new zone pinning to quickly failover the workload to a different zone's nodes.
## Detailed Design
- The design and approach is inspired from [kubectl patch command](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl/blob/0a61782351a027411b8b45b1443ec3dceddef421/pkg/cmd/patch/patch.go#L102C2-L104C1)
```bash
# Update a container's image using a json patch with positional arrays
- The user is expected to create a configmap with the desired Resource Modifications. Then the reference of the configmap will be provided in the RestoreSpec.
- The core restore workflow before creating/updating a particular resource in the cluster will be checked against the filters provided and respective substitutions will be applied on it.
### Reference in velero API
> Example of Reference to configmap in RestoreSpec
- User first needs to provide details on which resources the JSON Substitutions need to be applied.
- For this the user will provide 4 inputs - Namespaces(for NS Scoped resources), GroupResource (resource.group format similar to includeResources field in velero) and Name Regex(optional).
- If the user does not provide the Name, the JSON Substitutions will be applied to all the resources of the given Group and Kind under the given namespaces.
- Further the use will specify the JSON Patch using the structure of kubectl's "JSON Patch" based inputs.
- Sample data in ConfigMap
```yaml
version:v1
resourceModifierRules:
- conditions:
groupResource:persistentvolumeclaims
resourceNameRegex:"mysql.*"
namespaces:
- bar
- foo
patches:
- operation:replace
path:"/spec/storageClassName"
value:"premium"
- operation:remove
path:"/metadata/labels/test"
```
- The above configmap will apply the JSON Patch to all the PVCs in the namespaces bar and foo with name starting with mysql. The JSON Patch will replace the storageClassName with "premium" and remove the label "test" from the PVCs.
- Note that the Namespace here is the original namespace of the backed up resource, not the new namespace where the resource is going to be restored.
- The user can specify multiple JSON Patches for a particular resource. The patches will be applied in the order specified in the configmap. A subsequent patch is applied in order and if multiple patches are specified for the same path, the last patch will override the previous patches.
- The user can specify multiple resourceModifierRules in the configmap. The rules will be applied in the order specified in the configmap.
> Users need to create one configmap in Velero install namespace from a YAML file that defined resource modifiers. The creating command would be like the below:
```bash
kubectl create cm <configmap-name> --from-file <yaml-file> -n velero
```
### Operations supported by the JSON Patch library:
- add
- remove
- replace
- move
- copy
- test (covered below)
### Advance scenarios
#### **Conditional patches using test operation**
The `test` operation can be used to check if a particular value is present in the resource. If the value is present, the patch will be applied. If the value is not present, the patch will not be applied. This can be used to apply a patch only if a particular value is present in the resource. For example, if the user wishes to change the storage class of a PVC only if the PVC is using a particular storage class, the user can use the following configmap.
1. JSON Path based addressal of json fields in the resource
- This was the initial planned approach, but there is no open source library which gives satisfactory edit functionality with support for all operators supported by the JsonPath RFC.
- We attempted modifying the [https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/jsonpath/](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/jsonpath/) but given the complexity of the code it did not make sense to change it since it would become a long term maintainability problem.
1. RestoreItemAction for each kind of standard substitution
- Not an extensible design. If a new kind of substitution is required, a new RestoreItemAction needs to be written.
1. RIA for JSON Substitution: The approach of doing JSON Substitution through a RestoreItemAction plugin was considered. But it is likely to have performance implications as the plugin will be invoked for all the resources.
## Security Considerations
No security impact.
## Compatibility
Compatibility with existing StorageClass mapping RestoreItemAction and similar plugins needs to be evaluated.
## Implementation
- Changes in Restore CRD. Add a new field to the RestoreSpec to reference the configmap.
- One example of where code will be modified: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/eeee4e06d209df7f08bfabda326b27aaf0054759/pkg/restore/restore.go#L1266 On the obj before Creation, we can apply the conditions to check if the resource is filtered out using given parameters. Then using JsonPatch provided, we can update the resource.
- For Jsonpatch - https://github.com/evanphx/json-patch library is used.
- Additional features such as wildcard support in path, regex match support in value, etc. can be added in future. This would involve forking the https://github.com/evanphx/json-patch library and adding the required features, since those features are not supported by the library currently and are not part of jsonpatch RFC.

Velero introduced the concept of Resource Modifiers in v1.12.0. This feature allows the user to specify a configmap with a set of rules to modify the resources during restore. The user can specify the filters to select the resources and then specify the JSON Patch to apply on the resource. This feature is currently limited to the operations supported by JSON Patch RFC.
This proposal is to add support for JSON Merge Patch and Strategic Merge Patch in the Resource Modifiers. This will allow the user to use the same configmap to apply JSON Merge Patch and Strategic Merge Patch on the resources during restore.
## Goals
- Allow the user to specify a JSON patch, JSON Merge Patch or Strategic Merge Patch for modification.
- Allow the user to specify multiple JSON Patch, JSON Merge Patch or Strategic Merge Patch.
- Allow the user to specify mixed JSON Patch, JSON Merge Patch and Strategic Merge Patch in the same configmap.
## Non Goals
- Deprecating the existing RestoreItemAction plugins for standard substitutions(like changing the namespace, changing the storage class, etc.)
## User Stories
### Scenario 1
- Alice has some Pods and part of them have an annotation `{"for": "bar"}`.
- Alice wishes to restore these Pods to a different cluster without this annotation.
- Alice can use this feature to remove this annotation during restore.
### Scenario 2
- Bob has a Pod with several containers and one container with name nginx has an image `repo1/nginx`.
- Bob wishes to restore this Pod to a different cluster, but new cluster can not access repo1, so he pushes the image to repo2.
- Bob can use this feature to update the image of container nginx to `repo2/nginx` during restore.
## Detailed Design
- The design and approach is inspired by kubectl patch command and [this doc](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-kubernetes-objects/update-api-object-kubectl-patch/).
- New fields `MergePatches` and `StrategicPatches` will be added to the `ResourceModifierRule` struct to support all three patch types.
- Only one of the three patch types can be specified in a single `ResourceModifierRule`.
- Add wildcard support for `groupResource` in `conditions` struct.
- The workflow to create Resource Modifier ConfigMap and reference it in RestoreSpec will remain the same as described in document [Resource Modifiers](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/site/content/docs/main/restore-resource-modifiers.md).
### How to choose the right patch type
- [JSON Merge Patch](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7386) is a naively simple format, with limited usability. Probably it is a good choice if you are building something small, with very simple JSON Schema.
- [JSON Patch](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6902) is a more complex format, but it is applicable to any JSON documents. For a comparison of JSON patch and JSON merge patch, see [JSON Patch and JSON Merge Patch](https://erosb.github.io/post/json-patch-vs-merge-patch/).
- Strategic Merge Patch is a Kubernetes defined patch type, mainly used to process resources of type list. You can replace/merge a list, add/remove items from a list by key, change the order of items in a list, etc. Strategic merge patch is not supported for custom resources. For more details, see [this doc](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-kubernetes-objects/update-api-object-kubectl-patch/).
### New Field MergePatches
MergePatches is a list to specify the merge patches to be applied on the resource. The merge patches will be applied in the order specified in the configmap. A subsequent patch is applied in order and if multiple patches are specified for the same path, the last patch will override the previous patches.
Example of MergePatches in ResourceModifierRule
```yaml
version:v1
resourceModifierRules:
- conditions:
groupResource:pods
namespaces:
- ns1
mergePatches:
- patchData:|
{
"metadata": {
"annotations": {
"foo": null
}
}
}
```
- The above configmap will apply the Merge Patch to all the pods in namespace ns1 and remove the annotation `foo` from the pods.
- Both json and yaml format are supported for the patchData.
### New Field StrategicPatches
StrategicPatches is a list to specify the strategic merge patches to be applied on the resource. The strategic merge patches will be applied in the order specified in the configmap. A subsequent patch is applied in order and if multiple patches are specified for the same path, the last patch will override the previous patches.
Example of StrategicPatches in ResourceModifierRule
```yaml
version:v1
resourceModifierRules:
- conditions:
groupResource:pods
resourceNameRegex:"^my-pod$"
namespaces:
- ns1
strategicPatches:
- patchData:|
{
"spec": {
"containers": [
{
"name": "nginx",
"image": "repo2/nginx"
}
]
}
}
```
- The above configmap will apply the Strategic Merge Patch to the pod with name my-pod in namespace ns1 and update the image of container nginx to `repo2/nginx`.
- Both json and yaml format are supported for the patchData.
### Conditional Patches in ALL Patch Types
Since JSON Merge Patch and Strategic Merge Patch do not support conditional patches, we will use the `test` operation of JSON Patch to support conditional patches in all patch types by adding it to `Conditions` struct in `ResourceModifierRule`.
- The above configmap will apply the Merge Patch to all the PVCs in all namespaces with storageClassName premium and remove the annotation `foo` from the PVCs.
- You can specify multiple rules in the `matches` list. The patch will be applied only if all the matches are satisfied.
### Wildcard Support for GroupResource
The user can specify a wildcard for groupResource in the conditions' struct. This will allow the user to apply the patches for all the resources of a particular group or all resources in all groups. For example, `*.apps` will apply to all the resources in the `apps` group, `*` will apply to all the resources in all groups.
### Helper Command to Generate Merge Patch and Strategic Merge Patch
The patchData of Strategic Merge Patch is sometimes a bit complex for user to write. We can provide a helper command to generate the patchData for Strategic Merge Patch. The command will take the original resource and the modified resource as input and generate the patchData.
- Use "github.com/evanphx/json-patch" to support JSON Merge Patch.
- Use "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/strategicpatch" to support Strategic Merge Patch.
- Use glob to support wildcard for `groupResource` in `conditions` struct.
- Use `test` operation of JSON Patch to calculate the `matches` in `conditions` struct.
## Future enhancements
- add a Velero subcommand to generate/validate the patchData for Strategic Merge Patch and JSON Merge Patch.
- add jq support for more complex conditions or patches, to meet the situations that the current conditions or patches can not handle. like [this issue](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/6344)

# Proposal to add support for Multiple VolumeSnapshotClasses in CSI Plugin
- [Proposal to add support for Multiple VolumeSnapshotClasses in CSI Plugin](#proposal-to-add-support-for-multiple-volumesnapshotclasses-in-csi-plugin)
Currently the Velero CSI plugin chooses the VolumeSnapshotClass in the cluster that has the same driver name and also has the velero.io/csi-volumesnapshot-class label set on it. This global selection is not sufficient for many use cases. This proposal is to add support for multiple VolumeSnapshotClasses in CSI Plugin where the user can specify the VolumeSnapshotClass to use for a particular driver and backup.
## Background
The Velero CSI plugin chooses the VolumeSnapshotClass in the cluster that has the same driver name and also has the velero.io/csi-volumesnapshot-class label set on it. This global selection is not sufficient for many use cases. For example, if a cluster has multiple VolumeSnapshotClasses for the same driver, the user may want to use a VolumeSnapshotClass that is different from the default one. The user might also have different schedules set up for backing up different parts of the cluster and might wish to use different VolumeSnapshotClasses for each of these backups.
## Goals
- Allow the user to specify the VolumeSnapshotClass to use for a particular driver and backup.
## Non Goals
- Deprecating existing VSC selection behaviour. (The current behaviour will remain the default behaviour if the user does not specify the VolumeSnapshotClass to use for a particular driver and backup.)
## User Stories
### Scenario 1
- Consider Alice is a cluster admin and has a cluster with multiple VolumeSnapshotClasses for the same driver. Each VSC stores the snapshots taken in different ResourceGroup(Azure equivalent).
- Alice has configured multiple scheduled backups each covering a different set of namespaces, representing different apps owned by different teams.
- Alice wants to use a different VolumeSnapshotClass for each backup such that each snapshot goes in it's respective ResourceGroup to simply management of snapshots(COGS, RBAC etc).
- In current velero, Alice can't achieve this as the CSI plugin will use the default VolumeSnapshotClass for the driver and all snapshots will go in the same ResourceGroup.
- Proposed design will allow Alice to achieve this by specifying the VolumeSnapshotClass to use for a particular driver and backup/schedule.
## Scenario 2
- Bob is a cluster admin has PVCs storing different types of data.
- Most of the PVCs are used for storing non-sensitive application data. But certain PVCs store critical financial data.
- For such PVCs Bob wants to use a VolumeSnapshotClass with certain encryption related parameters set.
- In current velero, Bob can't achieve this as the CSI plugin will use the default VolumeSnapshotClass for the driver and all snapshots will be taken using the same VolumeSnapshotClass.
- Proposed design will allow Bob to achieve this by overriding the VolumeSnapshotClass to use for a particular driver and backup/schedule using annotations on those specific PVCs.
## Detailed Design
### Staged Approach:
### Stage 1 Approach
#### Through Annotations
1.**Support VolumeSnapshotClass selection at backup/schedule level**
The user can annotate the backup/ schedule with driver and VolumeSnapshotClass name. The CSI plugin will use the VolumeSnapshotClass specified in the annotation. If the annotation is not present, the CSI plugin will use the default VolumeSnapshotClass for the driver.
To query the annotations on a backup: "velero.io/csi-volumesnapshot-class_'driver name'" - where driver names comes from the PVC's driver.
2. **Support VolumeSnapshotClass selection at PVC level**
The user can annotate the PVCs with driver and VolumeSnapshotClass name. The CSI plugin will use the VolumeSnapshotClass specified in the annotation. If the annotation is not present, the CSI plugin will use the default VolumeSnapshotClass for the driver. If the VolumeSnapshotClass provided is of a different driver, the CSI plugin will use the default VolumeSnapshotClass for the driver.
Consider this as a override option in conjunction to part 1.
**Note**: The user has to annotate the PVCs or backups with the VolumeSnapshotClass to use for each driver. This is not ideal for the user experience.
- **Mitigation**: We can extend Velero CLI to also annotate backups/schedules with the VolumeSnapshotClass to use for each driver. This will make it easier for the user to annotate the backups/schedules. This mitigation is not for the PVCs though, since PVCs is anyways a specific use case. Similar to : " kubectl run --image myimage --annotations="foo=bar" --annotations="another=one" mypod"
We can add support for - velero backup create my-backup --annotations "velero.io/csi:csi.cloud.disk.driver=csi-diskdriver-snapclass"
### Stage 2 Approach
The above annotations route is to get started and for initial design closure/ implementation, north star is to either introduce CSI specific fields (considering that CSI might be a very core part of velero going forward) in the backup/restore CR OR leverage the pluginInputs field as being tracked in: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/5981
Refer section Alternatives 2. **Through generic property bag in the velero contracts**: in the design doc for more details on the pluginInputs field.
## Alternatives Considered
1. **Through CSI Specific Fields in Velero contracts**
**Considerations**
- Since CSI snapshotting is done through the plugin, we don't intend to bloat up the Backup Spec with CSI specific fields.
- But considering that CSI Snapshotting is the way forward, we can debate if we should add a CSI section to the Backup Spec.
**Approach**: Similar to VolumeSnapshotLocation param in the Backup Spec, we can add a VolumeSnapshotClass param in the Backup Spec. This will allow the user to specify the VolumeSnapshotClass to use for the backup. The CSI plugin will use the VolumeSnapshotClass specified in the Backup Spec. If the VolumeSnapshotClass is not specified, the CSI plugin will use the default VolumeSnapshotClass for the driver.
*example of VolumeSnapshotClass param in the Backup Spec:*
```yaml
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: Backup
metadata:
name: backup-1
spec:
csiParameters:
volumeSnapshotClasses:
driver: csi.cloud.disk.driver
snapClass: csi-diskdriver-snapclass
timeout: 10m
```
1. **Through changes in velero contracts**
1. **Through configmap references.**
Currently even the storageclass mapping plugin expects the user to create a configmap which is used globally, and fetched through labels. This behaviour has same issue as the VolumeSnapshotClass selection. We can introduce a field in the velero contracts which allow passing configmap references for each plugin. And then the plugin can honour the configmap passed in as reference. The configmap can be used to pass the VolumeSnapshotClass to use for the backup, and also other parameters to tweak. This can help in making plugins more flexible while not depending on global behaviour.
*example of configmap reference in the velero contracts:*
```yaml
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: Backup
metadata:
name: backup-1
spec:
configmapRefs:
- name: csi-volumesnapshotclass-configmap
- namespace: velero
- plugin: velero.io/csi
```
2. **Through generic property bag in the velero contracts**: We can introduce a field in the velero contracts which allow passing a generic property bag for each plugin. And then the plugin can honour the property bag passed in.
*example of property bag in the velero contracts:*
```yaml
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: Backup
metadata:
name: backup-1
spec:
pluginInputs:
- name: velero.io/csi
- properties:
- key: csi.cloud.disk.driver
- value: csi-diskdriver-snapclass
- key: csi.cloud.file.driver
- value: csi-filedriver-snapclass
```
**Note**: Both these approaches can also be used to tweak other parameters such as CSI Snapshotting Timeout/intervals. And further can be used by other plugins.
## Security Considerations
No security impact.
## Compatibility
Existing behaviour of csi plugin will be retained where it fetches the VolumeSnapshotClass through the label. This will be the default behaviour if the user does not specify the VolumeSnapshotClass.
## Implementation
TBD based on closure of high level design proposals.
**Velero Generic Data Path (VGDP)**: VGDP is the collective modules that is introduced in [Unified Repository design][1]. Velero uses these modules to finish data transfer for various purposes (i.e., PodVolume backup/restore, Volume Snapshot Data Movement). VGDP modules include uploaders and the backup repository.
**Exposer**: Exposer is a module that is introduced in [Volume Snapshot Data Movement Design][2]. Velero uses this module to expose the volume snapshots to Velero node-agent pods or node-agent associated pods so as to complete the data movement from the snapshots.
## Background
Velero node-agent is a daemonset hosting controllers and VGDP modules to complete the concrete work of backups/restores, i.e., PodVolume backup/restore, Volume Snapshot Data Movement backup/restore.
Specifically, node-agent runs DataUpload controllers to watch DataUpload CRs for Volume Snapshot Data Movement backups, so there is one controller instance in each node. One controller instance takes a DataUpload CR and then launches a VGDP instance, which initializes a uploader instance and the backup repository connection, to finish the data transfer. The VGDP instance runs inside a node-agent pod or in a pod associated to the node-agent pod in the same node.
Varying from the data size, data complexity, resource availability, VGDP may take a long time and remarkable resources (CPU, memory, network bandwidth, etc.).
Technically, VGDP instances are able to run in any node that allows pod schedule. On the other hand, users may want to constrain the nodes where VGDP instances run for various reasons, below are some examples:
- Prevent VGDP instances from running in specific nodes because users have more critical workloads in the nodes
- Constrain VGDP instances to run in specific nodes because these nodes have more resources than others
- Constrain VGDP instances to run in specific nodes because the storage allows volume/snapshot provisions in these nodes only
Therefore, in order to improve the compatibility, it is worthy to configure the affinity of VGDP to nodes, especially for backups for which VGDP instances run frequently and centrally.
## Goals
- Define the behaviors of node affinity of VGDP instances in node-agent for volume snapshot data movement backups
- Create a mechanism for users to specify the node affinity of VGDP instances for volume snapshot data movement backups
## Non-Goals
- It is also beneficial to support VGDP instances affinity for PodVolume backup/restore, however, it is not possible since VGDP instances for PodVolume backup/restore should always run in the node where the source/target pods are created.
- It is also beneficial to support VGDP instances affinity for data movement restores, however, it is not possible in some cases. For example, when the `volumeBindingMode` in the StorageClass is `WaitForFirstConsumer`, the restore volume must be mounted in the node where the target pod is scheduled, so the VGDP instance must run in the same node. On the other hand, considering the fact that restores may not frequently and centrally run, we will not support data movement restores.
- As elaborated in the [Volume Snapshot Data Movement Design][2], the Exposer may take different ways to expose snapshots, i.e., through backup pods (this is the only way supported at present). The implementation section below only considers this approach currently, if a new expose method is introduced in future, the definition of the affinity configurations and behaviors should still work, but we may need a new implementation.
## Solution
We will use the ConfigMap specified by `velero node-agent` CLI's parameter `--node-agent-configmap` to host the node affinity configurations.
This configMap is not created by Velero, users should create it manually on demand. The configMap should be in the same namespace where Velero is installed. If multiple Velero instances are installed in different namespaces, there should be one configMap in each namespace which applies to node-agent in that namespace only.
Node-agent server checks these configurations at startup time and use it to initiate the related VGDP modules. Therefore, users could edit this configMap any time, but in order to make the changes effective, node-agent server needs to be restarted.
Inside the ConfigMap we will add one new kind of configuration as the data in the configMap, the name is ```loadAffinity```.
Users may want to set different LoadAffinity configurations according to different conditions (i.e., for different storages represented by StorageClass, CSI driver, etc.), so we define ```loadAffinity``` as an array. This is for extensibility consideration, at present, we don't implement multiple configurations support, so if there are multiple configurations, we always take the first one in the array.
The data structure is as below:
```go
type Configs struct {
// LoadConcurrency is the config for load concurrency per node.
Affinity configuration means allowing VGDP instances running in the nodes specified. There are two ways to define it:
- It could be defined by `MatchLabels` of `metav1.LabelSelector`. The labels defined in `MatchLabels` means a `LabelSelectorOpIn` operation by default, so in the current context, they will be treated as affinity rules.
- It could be defined by `MatchExpressions` of `metav1.LabelSelector`. The labels are defined in `Key` and `Values` of `MatchExpressions` and the `Operator` should be defined as `LabelSelectorOpIn` or `LabelSelectorOpExists`.
### Anti-affinity
Anti-affinity configuration means preventing VGDP instances running in the nodes specified. Below is the way to define it:
- It could be defined by `MatchExpressions` of `metav1.LabelSelector`. The labels are defined in `Key` and `Values` of `MatchExpressions` and the `Operator` should be defined as `LabelSelectorOpNotIn` or `LabelSelectorOpDoesNotExist`.
This sample showcases two affinity configurations:
- matchLabels: VGDP instances will run only in nodes with label key `beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type` and value `Standard_B4ms`
- matchExpressions: VGDP instances will run in node `node1`, `node2` and `node3` (selected by `kubernetes.io/hostname` label)
This sample showcases one anti-affinity configuration:
- matchExpressions: VGDP instances will not run in nodes with label key `xxx/critial-workload`
To create the configMap, users need to save something like the above sample to a json file and then run below command:
```
kubectl create cm <ConfigMap name> -n velero --from-file=<json file name>
```
### Implementation
As mentioned in the [Volume Snapshot Data Movement Design][2], the exposer decides where to launch the VGDP instances. At present, for volume snapshot data movement backups, the exposer creates backupPods and the VGDP instances will be initiated in the nodes where backupPods are scheduled. So the loadAffinity will be translated (from `metav1.LabelSelector` to `corev1.Affinity`) and set to the backupPods.
It is possible that node-agent pods, as a daemonset, don't run in every worker nodes, users could fulfil this by specify `nodeSelector` or `nodeAffinity` to the node-agent daemonset spec. On the other hand, at present, VGDP instances must be assigned to nodes where node-agent pods are running. Therefore, if there is any node selection for node-agent pods, users must consider this into this load affinity configuration, so as to guarantee that VGDP instances are always assigned to nodes where node-agent pods are available. This is done by users, we don't inherit any node selection configuration from node-agent daemonset as we think daemonset scheduler works differently from plain pod scheduler, simply inheriting all the configurations may cause unexpected result of backupPod schedule.
Otherwise, if a backupPod are scheduled to a node where node-agent pod is absent, the corresponding DataUpload CR will stay in `Accepted` phase until the prepare timeout (by default 30min).
At present, as part of the expose operations, the exposer creates a volume, represented by backupPVC, from the snapshot. The backupPVC uses the same storageClass with the source volume. If the `volumeBindingMode` in the storageClass is `Immediate`, the volume is immediately allocated from the underlying storage without waiting for the backupPod. On the other hand, the loadAffinity is set to the backupPod's affinity. If the backupPod is scheduled to a node where the snapshot volume is not accessible, e.g., because of storage topologies, the backupPod won't get into Running state, concequently, the data movement won't complete.
Once this problem happens, the backupPod stays in `Pending` phase, and the corresponding DataUpload CR stays in `Accepted` phase until the prepare timeout (by default 30min). Below is an example of the backupPod's status when the problem happens:
```
status:
conditions:
- lastProbeTime: null
message: '0/2 nodes are available: 1 node(s) didn''t match Pod''s node affinity/selector,
1 node(s) had volume node affinity conflict. preemption: 0/2 nodes are available:
2 Preemption is not helpful for scheduling..'
reason: Unschedulable
status: "False"
type: PodScheduled
phase: Pending
```
On the other hand, the backupPod is deleted after the prepare timeout, so there is no way to tell the cause is one of the above problems or others.
To help the troubleshooting, we can add some diagnostic mechanism to discover the status of the backupPod and node-agent in the same node before deleting it as a result of the prepare timeout.
**Velero Generic Data Path (VGDP)**: VGDP is the collective of modules that is introduced in [Unified Repository design][1]. Velero uses these modules to finish data transfer for various purposes (i.e., PodVolume backup/restore, Volume Snapshot Data Movement). VGDP modules include uploaders and the backup repository.
## Background
Velero node-agent is a daemonset hosting controllers and VGDP modules to complete the concrete work of backups/restores, i.e., PodVolume backup/restore, Volume Snapshot Data Movement backup/restore.
For example, node-agent runs DataUpload controllers to watch DataUpload CRs for Volume Snapshot Data Movement backups, so there is one controller instance in each node. One controller instance takes a DataUpload CR and then launches a VGDP instance, which initializes a uploader instance and the backup repository connection, to finish the data transfer. The VGDP instance runs inside the node-agent pod or in a pod associated to the node-agent pod in the same node.
Varying from the data size, data complexity, resource availability, VGDP may take a long time and remarkable resources (CPU, memory, network bandwidth, etc.).
Technically, VGDP instances are able to run in concurrent regardless of the requesters. For example, a VGDP instance for a PodVolume backup could run in parallel with another VGDP instance for a DataUpload. Then the two VGDP instances share the same resources if they are running in the same node.
Therefore, in order to gain the optimized performance with the limited resources, it is worthy to configure the concurrent number of VGDP per node. When the resources are sufficient in nodes, users can set a large concurrent number, so as to reduce the backup/restore time; otherwise, the concurrency should be reduced, otherwise, the backup/restore may encounter problems, i.e., time lagging, hang or OOM kill.
## Goals
- Define the behaviors of concurrent VGDP instances in node-agent
- Create a mechanism for users to specify the concurrent number of VGDP per node
## Non-Goals
- VGDP instances from different nodes always run in concurrent since in most common cases the resources are isolated. For special cases that some resources are shared across nodes, there is no support at present
- In practice, restores run in prioritized scenarios, e.g., disaster recovery. However, the current design doesn't consider this difference, a VGDP instance for a restore is blocked if it reaches to the limit of the concurrency, even though the ones block it are for backups. If users do meet some problems here, they should consider to stop the backups first
- Sometimes, users wants to totally block backups/restores from running in a specific node, this is out of the scope the current design. To archive this, more modules need to be considered (i.e., expoers of data movers), simply blocking the VGDP (e.g., by setting its concurrent number to 0) doesn't work. E.g., for a fs backup, VGDP instance must run in the node the source pod is running in, if we simply block from VGDP instance, the PodVolumeBackup CR is still submitted but never processed.
## Solution
We introduce a ConfigMap specified by `velero node-agent` CLI's parameter `--node-agent-configmap` for users to specify the node-agent related configurations. This configMap is not created by Velero, users should create it manually on demand. The configMap should be in the same namespace where Velero is installed. If multiple Velero instances are installed in different namespaces, there should be one configMap in each namespace which applies to node-agent in that namespace only.
Node-agent server checks these configurations at startup time and use it to initiate the related VGDP modules. Therefore, users could edit this configMap any time, but in order to make the changes effective, node-agent server needs to be restarted.
The ConfigMap may be used for other purpose of configuring node-agent in future, at present, there is only one kind of configuration as the data in the configMap, the name is ```loadConcurrency```.
The data structure is as below:
```go
type Configs struct {
// LoadConcurrency is the config for load concurrency per node.
// Number specifies the number value associated to the matched nodes
Number int `json:"number"`
}
```
### Global concurrent number
We allow users to specify a concurrent number that will be applied to all nodes if the per-node number is not specified. This number is set through ```globalConfig```.
The number starts from 1 which means there is no concurrency, only one instance of VGDP is allowed. There is no roof limit.
If this number is not specified or not valid, a hard-coded default value will be used, the value is set to 1.
### Per-node concurrent number
We allow users to specify different concurrent number per node, for example, users can set 3 concurrent instances in Node-1, 2 instances in Node-2 and 1 instance in Node-3. This is for below considerations:
- The resources may be different among nodes. Then users could specify smaller concurrent number for nodes with less resources while larger number for the ones with more resources
- Help users to isolate critical environments. Users may run some critical workloads in some specified nodes, since VGDP instances may take large resource consumption, users may want to run less number of instances in the nodes with critical workloads
The range of Per-node concurrent number is the same with Global concurrent number.
Per-node concurrent number is preferable to Global concurrent number, so it will overwrite the Global concurrent number for that node.
Per-node concurrent number is implemented through ```perNodeConfig``` field.
```perNodeConfig``` is a list of ```RuledConfigs``` each item of which matches one or more nodes by label selectors and specify the concurrent number for the matched nodes. This means, the nodes are identified by labels.
For example, the ```perNodeConfig`` could have below elements:
The first element means the node with host name ```node1``` gets the Per-node concurrent number of 3.
The second element means all the nodes with label ```beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type``` of value ```Standard_B4ms``` get the Per-node concurrent number of 5.
At least one node is expected to have a label with the specified ```RuledConfigs``` element (rule). If no node is with this label, the Per-node rule makes no effect.
If one node falls into more than one rules, e.g., if node1 also has the label ```beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=Standard_B4ms```, the smallest number (3) will be used.
To create the configMap, users need to save something like the above sample to a json file and then run below command:
```
kubectl create cm <ConfigMap name> -n velero --from-file=<json file name>
```
### Global data path manager
As for the code implementation, data path manager is to maintain the total number of the running VGDP instances and ensure the limit is not excceeded. At present, there is one data path manager instance per controller, as a result, the concurrent numbers are calculated separately for each controller. This doesn't help to limit the concurrency among different requesters.
Therefore, we need to create one global data path manager instance server-wide, and pass it to different controllers. The instance will be created at node-agent server startup.
The concurrent number is required to initiate a data path manager, the number comes from either Per-node concurrent number or Global concurrent number.
Below are some prototypes related to data path manager:
The proto service definitions of the plugins will also be versioned and arranged by their plugin kind.
Currently, all the proto definitions reside under `pkg/plugin/proto` in a file corresponding to their plugin kind.
These files will be rearranged to be grouped by kind and then versioned: `pkg/plugin/proto/<plugin_kind>/<version>`.
The scripts to compile the proto service definitions will need to be updated to place the generated Go code under a matching directory structure.
These files will be rearranged to be grouped by kind and then versioned: `pkg/plugin/proto/<plugin_kind>/<version>`,
except for the current v1 plugins. Those will remain in their current package/location for backwards compatibility.
This will allow plugin images built with earlier versions of velero to work with the latest velero (for v1 plugins
only). The go_package option will be added to all proto service definitions to allow the proto compilation script
to place the generated go code for each plugin api version in the proper go package directory.
It is not possible to import an existing proto service into a new one, so any methods will need to be duplicated across versions if they are required by the new version.
The message definitions can be shared however, so these could be extracted from the service definition files and placed in a file that can be shared across all versions of the service.

Create a new metadata file in the backup repository's backup name sub-directory to store the backup-including PVC and PV information. The information includes the way of backing up the PVC and PV data, snapshot information, and status. The needed snapshot status can also be recorded there, but the Velero-Native snapshot plugin doesn't provide a way to get the snapshot size from the API, so it's possible that not all snapshot size information is available.
This new additional metadata file is needed when:
* Get a summary of the backup's PVC and PV information, including how the data in them is backed up, or whether the data in them is skipped from backup.
* Find out how the PVC and PV should be restored in the restore process.
* Retrieve the PV's snapshot information for backup.
## Background
There is already a [PR](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/6496) to track the skipped PVC in the backup. This design will depend on it and go further to get a summary of PVC and PV information, then persist into a metadata file in the backup repository.
In the restore process, the Velero server needs to decide how the PV resource should be restored according to how the PV is backed up. The current logic is to check whether it's backed up by Velero-native snapshot, by file-system backup, or having `DeletionPolicy` set as `Delete`.
The checks are made by the backup-generated PVBs or Snapshots. There is no generic way to find this information, and the CSI backup and Snapshot data movement backup are not covered.
Another thing that needs noticing is when describing the backup, there is no generic way to find the PV's snapshot information.
## Goals
- Create a new metadata file to store backup's PVCs and PVs information and volume data backing up method. The file can be used to let downstream consumers generate a summary.
- Create a generic way to let the Velero server know how the PV resources are backed up.
- Create a generic way to let the Velero server find the PV corresponding snapshot information.
## Non Goals
- Unify how to get snapshot size information for all PV backing-up methods, and all other currently not ready PVs' information.
## High-Level Design
Create _backup-name_-volumes-info.json metadata file in the backup's repository. This file will be encoded to contain all the PVC and PV information included in the backup. The information covers whether the PV or PVC's data is skipped during backup, how its data is backed up, and the backed-up detail information.
Please notice that the new metadata file includes all skipped volume information. This is used to address [the second phase needs of skipped volumes information](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/5834#issuecomment-1526624211).
The `restoreItem` function can decode the _backup-name_-volumes-info.json file to determine how to handle the PV resource.
## Detailed Design
### The VolumeInfo structure
_backup-name_-volumes-info.json file is a structure that contains an array of structure `VolumeInfo`.
``` golang
type VolumeInfo struct {
PVCName string // The PVC's name.
PVCNamespace string // The PVC's namespace.
PVName string // The PV name.
BackupMethod string // The way the volume data is backed up. The valid value includes `VeleroNativeSnapshot`, `PodVolumeBackup` and `CSISnapshot`.
SnapshotDataMoved bool // Whether the volume's snapshot data is moved to specified storage.
Skipped boolean // Whether the Volume is skipped in this backup.
SkippedReason string // The reason for the volume is skipped in the backup.
// CSISnapshotInfo is used for displaying the CSI snapshot status
type CSISnapshotInfo struct {
SnapshotHandle string // It's the storage provider's snapshot ID for CSI.
Size int64 // The snapshot corresponding volume size.
Driver string // The name of the CSI driver.
VSCName string // The name of the VolumeSnapshotContent.
}
// SnapshotDataMovementInfo is used for displaying the snapshot data mover status.
type SnapshotDataMovementInfo struct {
DataMover string // The data mover used by the backup. The valid values are `velero` and ``(equals to `velero`).
UploaderType string // The type of the uploader that uploads the snapshot data. The valid values are `kopia` and `restic`.
RetainedSnapshot string // The name or ID of the snapshot associated object(SAO). SAO is used to support local snapshots for the snapshot data mover, e.g. it could be a VolumeSnapshot for CSI snapshot data moign/pv_backup_info.
SnapshotHandle string // It's the filesystem repository's snapshot ID.
}

### How the VolumeInfo array is generated.
The function `persistBackup` has `backup *pkgbackup.Request` in parameters.
From it, the `VolumeSnapshots`, `PodVolumeBackups`, `CSISnapshots`, `itemOperationsList`, and `SkippedPVTracker` can be read. All of them will be iterated and merged into the `VolumeInfo` array, and then persisted into backup repository in function `persistBackup`.
Please notice that the change happened in async operations are not reflected in the new metadata file. The file only covers the volume changes happen in the Velero server process scope.
A new methods are added to BackupStore to download the VolumeInfo metadata file.
Uploading the metadata file is covered in the exiting `PutBackup` method.
#### Generate the PVC backed-up information summary
The downstream tools can use this VolumeInfo array to format and display their volume information. This is not in the scope of this feature.
#### Retrieve volume backed-up information for `velero backup describe` command
The `velero backup describe` can also use this VolumeInfo array structure to display the volume information. The snapshot data mover volume should use this structure at first, then the Velero native snapshot, CSI snapshot, and PodVolumeBackup can also use this structure. The detailed implementation is also not in this feature's scope.
#### Let restore know how to restore the PV
In the function `restoreItem`, it will determine whether to restore the PV resource by checking it in the Velero native snapshots list, PodVolumeBackup list, and its DeletionPolicy. This logic is still kept. The logic will be used when the new `VolumeInfo` metadata cannot be found to support backward compatibility.
``` golang
if groupResource == kuberesource.PersistentVolumes {
switch {
case hasSnapshot(name, ctx.volumeSnapshots):
...
case hasPodVolumeBackup(obj, ctx):
...
case hasDeleteReclaimPolicy(obj.Object):
...
default:
...
```
After introducing the VolumeInfo array, the following logic will be added.
``` golang
if groupResource == kuberesource.PersistentVolumes {
volumeInfo := GetVolumeInfo(pvName)
switch volumeInfo.BackupMethod {
case VeleroNativeSnapshot:
...
case PodVolumeBackup:
...
case CSISnapshot:
...
default:
// Need to check whether the volume is backed up by the SnapshotDataMover.
if volumeInfo.SnapshotDataMovement:
// Check whether the Velero server should restore the PV depending on the DeletionPolicy setting.
if volumeInfo.Skipped:
```
### How the VolumeInfo metadata file is deleted
_backup-name_-volumes-info.json file is deleted during backup deletion.
## Alternatives Considered
The restore process needs more information about how the PVs are backed up to determine whether this PV should be restored. The released branches also need a similar function, but backporting a new feature into previous releases may not be a good idea, so according to [Anshul Ahuja's suggestion](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/6595#issuecomment-1731081580), adding more cases here to support checking PV backed-up by CSI plugin and CSI snapshot data mover: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/5ff5073cc3f364bafcfbd26755e2a92af68ba180/pkg/restore/restore.go#L1206-L1324.
## Security Considerations
There should be no security impact introduced by this design.
## Compatibility
After this design is implemented, there should be no impact on the existing [skipped PVC summary feature](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/6496).
To support older version backup, which doesn't have the VolumeInfo metadata file, the old logic, which is checking the Velero native snapshots list, PodVolumeBackup list, and PVC DeletionPolicy, is still kept, and supporting CSI snapshots and snapshot data mover logic will be added too.
## Implementation
This will be implemented in the Velero v1.13 development cycle.
Add this design to make the repository maintenance job can read configuration from a dedicate ConfigMap and make the Job's necessary parts configurable, e.g. `PodSpec.Affinity` and `PodSpec.Resources`.
## Background
Repository maintenance is split from the Velero server to a k8s Job in v1.14 by design [repository maintenance job](Implemented/repository-maintenance.md).
The repository maintenance Job configuration was read from the Velero server CLI parameter, and it inherits the most of Velero server's Deployment's PodSpec to fill un-configured fields.
This design introduces a new way to let the user to customize the repository maintenance behavior instead of inheriting from the Velero server Deployment or reading from `velero server` CLI parameters.
The configurations added in this design including the resource limitations, node selection.
It's possible new configurations are introduced in future releases based on this design.
For the node selection, the repository maintenance Job also inherits from the Velero server deployment before, but the Job may last for a while and cost noneligible resources, especially memory.
The users have the need to choose which k8s node to run the maintenance Job.
This design reuses the data structure introduced by design [node-agent affinity configuration](Implemented/node-agent-affinity.md) to make the repository maintenance job can choose which node running on.
## Goals
- Unify the repository maintenance Job configuration at one place.
- Let user can choose repository maintenance Job running on which nodes.
## Non Goals
- There was an [issue](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/7911) to require the whole Job's PodSpec should be configurable. That's not in the scope of this design.
- Please notice this new configuration is dedicated for the repository maintenance. Repository itself configuration is not covered.
## Compatibility
v1.14 uses the `velero server` CLI's parameter to pass the repository maintenance job configuration.
In v1.15, those parameters are still kept, including `--maintenance-job-cpu-request`, `--maintenance-job-mem-request`, `--maintenance-job-cpu-limit`, `--maintenance-job-mem-limit`, and `--keep-latest-maintenance-jobs`.
But the parameters read from the ConfigMap specified by `velero server` CLI parameter `--repo-maintenance-job-configmap` introduced by this design have a higher priority.
If there `--repo-maintenance-job-configmap` is not specified, then the `velero server` parameters are used if provided.
If the `velero server` parameters are not specified too, then the default values are used.
*`--keep-latest-maintenance-jobs` default value is 3.
*`--maintenance-job-cpu-request` default value is 0.
*`--maintenance-job-mem-request` default value is 0.
*`--maintenance-job-cpu-limit` default value is 0.
*`--maintenance-job-mem-limit` default value is 0.
## Deprecation
Propose to deprecate the `velero server` parameters `--maintenance-job-cpu-request`, `--maintenance-job-mem-request`, `--maintenance-job-cpu-limit`, `--maintenance-job-mem-limit`, and `--keep-latest-maintenance-jobs` in release-1.15.
That means those parameters will be deleted in release-1.17.
After deletion, those resources-related parameters are replaced by the ConfigMap specified by `velero server` CLI's parameter `--repo-maintenance-job-configmap`.
`--keep-latest-maintenance-jobs` is deleted from `velero server` CLI. It turns into a non-configurable internal parameter, and its value is 3.
Please check [issue 7923](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/7923) for more information why deleting this parameter.
## Design
This design introduces a new ConfigMap specified by `velero server` CLI parameter `--repo-maintenance-job-configmap` as the source of the repository maintenance job configuration. The specified ConfigMap is read from the namespace where Velero is installed.
If the ConfigMap doesn't exist, the internal default values are used.
Example of using the parameter `--repo-maintenance-job-configmap`:
```
velero server \
...
--repo-maintenance-job-configmap repo-job-config
...
```
**Notice**
* Velero doesn't own this ConfigMap. If the user wants to customize the repository maintenance job, the user needs to create this ConfigMap.
* Velero reads this ConfigMap content at starting a new repository maintenance job, so the ConfigMap change will not take affect until the next created job.
### Structure
The data structure is as below:
```go
typeConfigsstruct{
// LoadAffinity is the config for data path load affinity.
If there is a key value as `global` in the map, the key's value is applied to all BackupRepositories maintenance jobs that cannot find their own specific configuration in the ConfigMap.
The other keys in the map is the combination of three elements of a BackupRepository:
* The namespace in which BackupRepository backs up volume data.
* The BackupRepository referenced BackupStorageLocation's name.
* The BackupRepository's type. Possible values are `kopia` and `restic`.
Those three keys can identify a [unique BackupRepository](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/2fc6300f2239f250b40b0488c35feae59520f2d3/pkg/repository/backup_repo_op.go#L32-L37).
If there is a key match with BackupRepository, the key's value is applied to the BackupRepository's maintenance jobs.
By this way, it's possible to let user configure before the BackupRepository is created.
This is especially convenient for administrator configuring during the Velero installation.
For example, the following BackupRepository's key should be `test-default-kopia`.
``` yaml
- apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: BackupRepository
metadata:
generateName: test-default-kopia-
labels:
velero.io/repository-type: kopia
velero.io/storage-location: default
velero.io/volume-namespace: test
name: test-default-kopia-kgt6n
namespace: velero
spec:
backupStorageLocation: default
maintenanceFrequency: 1h0m0s
repositoryType: kopia
resticIdentifier: gs:jxun:/restic/test
volumeNamespace: test
```
The `LoadAffinity` structure is reused from design [node-agent affinity configuration](Implemented/node-agent-affinity.md).
It's possible that the users want to choose nodes that match condition A or condition B to run the job.
For example, the user want to let the nodes is in a specified machine type or the nodes locate in the us-central1-x zones to run the job.
This can be done by adding multiple entries in the `LoadAffinity` array.
### Affinity Example
A sample of the ConfigMap is as below:
``` bash
cat <<EOF > repo-maintenance-job-config.json
{
"global": {
podResources: {
"cpuRequest": "100m",
"cpuLimit": "200m",
"memoryRequest": "100Mi",
"memoryLimit": "200Mi"
},
"loadAffinity": [
{
"nodeSelector": {
"matchExpressions": [
{
"key": "cloud.google.com/machine-family",
"operator": "In",
"values": [
"e2"
]
}
]
}
},
{
"nodeSelector": {
"matchExpressions": [
{
"key": "topology.kubernetes.io/zone",
"operator": "In",
"values": [
"us-central1-a",
"us-central1-b",
"us-central1-c"
]
}
]
}
}
]
}
}
EOF
```
This sample showcases two affinity configurations:
- matchLabels: maintenance job runs on nodes with label key `cloud.google.com/machine-family` and value `e2`.
- matchLabels: maintenance job runs on nodes located in `us-central1-a`, `us-central1-b` and `us-central1-c`.
The nodes matching one of the two conditions are selected.
To create the configMap, users need to save something like the above sample to a json file and then run below command:
```
kubectl create cm repo-maintenance-job-config -n velero --from-file=repo-maintenance-job-config.json
```
### Value assigning rules
If the Velero BackupRepositoryController cannot find the introduced ConfigMap, the following default values are used for repository maintenance job:
``` go
config := Configs {
// LoadAffinity is the config for data path load affinity.
LoadAffinity: nil,
// Resources is the config for the CPU and memory resources setting.
PodResources: &kube.PodResources{
// The repository maintenance job CPU request setting
CPURequest: "0m",
// The repository maintenance job memory request setting
MemoryRequest: "0Mi",
// The repository maintenance job CPU limit setting
CPULimit: "0m",
// The repository maintenance job memory limit setting
MemoryLimit: "0Mi",
},
}
```
If the Velero BackupRepositoryController finds the introduced ConfigMap with only `global` element, the `global` value is used.
If the Velero BackupRepositoryController finds the introduced ConfigMap with only element matches the BackupRepository, the matched element value is used.
If the Velero BackupRepositoryController finds the introduced ConfigMap with both `global` element and element matches the BackupRepository, the matched element defined values overwrite the `global` value, and the `global` value is still used for matched element undefined values.
For example, the ConfigMap content has two elements.
``` json
{
"global": {
"loadAffinity": [
{
"nodeSelector": {
"matchExpressions": [
{
"key": "cloud.google.com/machine-family",
"operator": "In",
"values": [
"e2"
]
}
]
}
},
],
"podResources": {
"cpuRequest": "100m",
"cpuLimit": "200m",
"memoryRequest": "100Mi",
"memoryLimit": "200Mi"
}
},
"ns1-default-kopia": {
"podResources": {
"memoryRequest": "400Mi",
"memoryLimit": "800Mi"
}
}
}
```
The config value used for BackupRepository backing up volume data in namespace `ns1`, referencing BSL `default`, and the type is `Kopia`:
``` go
config := Configs {
// LoadAffinity is the config for data path load affinity.
// The repository maintenance job CPU request setting
CPURequest: "",
// The repository maintenance job memory request setting
MemoryRequest: "400Mi",
// The repository maintenance job CPU limit setting
CPULimit: "",
// The repository maintenance job memory limit setting
MemoryLimit: "800Mi",
}
}
```
### Implementation
During the Velero repository controller starts to maintain a repository, it will call the repository manager's `PruneRepo` function to build the maintenance Job.
The ConfigMap specified by `velero server` CLI parameter `--repo-maintenance-job-configmap` is get to reinitialize the repository `MaintenanceConfig` setting.
``` go
jobConfig, err := getMaintenanceJobConfig(
context.Background(),
m.client,
m.log,
m.namespace,
m.repoMaintenanceJobConfig,
repo,
)
if err != nil {
log.Infof("Cannot find the ConfigMap %s with error: %s. Use default value.",
m.namespace+"/"+m.repoMaintenanceJobConfig,
err.Error(),
)
}
log.Info("Start to maintenance repo")
maintenanceJob, err := m.buildMaintenanceJob(
jobConfig,
param,
)
if err != nil {
return errors.Wrap(err, "error to build maintenance job")
}
```
## Alternatives Considered
An other option is creating each ConfigMap for a BackupRepository.
This is not ideal for scenario that has a lot of BackupRepositories in the cluster.
