Highlights

Velero plugins now support handling volumes created by the CSI drivers of cloud providers

Versions 1.4 of the Velero plugins for AWS, Azure and GCP now support snapshotting and restoring the persistent volumes provisioned by CSI driver via the APIs of the cloud providers. With this enhancement, users can backup and restore the persistent volumes on these cloud providers without using the Velero CSI plugin. The CSI plugin will remain beta and the feature flag EnableCSI will be disabled by default.

For the version of the plugins and the CSI drivers they support respectively please see the table:

Plugin Version CSI Driver
velero-plugin-for-aws v1.4.0 ebs.csi.aws.com
velero-plugin-for-microsoft-azure v1.4.0 disk.csi.azure.com
velero-plugin-for-gcp v1.4.0 pd.csi.storage.gke.io

IPv6 dual stack support

We've verified the functionality of Velero on IPv6 dual stack by successfully running the E2E test on IPv6 dual stack environment.

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.

Enhancements to E2E test cases

More test cases have been added to the E2E test suite to improve the release health.

Respect the cron setting of scheduled backup

The creation time is now taken into account to calculate the next run for scheduled backup.

Deleting BSLs also cleans up related resources

When a Backup Storage Location (BSL) is deleted, backup and Restic repository resources will also be deleted.

Breaking changes

Starting in v1.8, Velero will only support Kubernetes v1 CRD meaning that Velero v1.8+ will only run on Kubernetes v1.16+. Before upgrading, make sure you are running a supported Kubernetes version. For more information, see our compatibility matrix.

Upload Progress Monitoring and Item Snapshotter

Item Snapshotter plugin API was merged. This will support both Upload Progress monitoring and the planned Data Mover. Upload Progress monitoring PRs are in progress for 1.9.

All changes
