Update Velero documentation #319
Description
Is your enhancement request related to a specific problem in the documentation? Please describe.
The existing Velero documentation in KubeRocketCI is outdated.
It describes legacy installation and configuration steps that no longer match the recommended approach. The current documentation does not cover module-based installation, add-on integration, or updated best practices for IRSA and AWS configuration.
Describe the enhancement you'd like
I would like to update the Velero documentation to reflect the modern installation method using modules and add-ons.
The enhancement should include:
Updated installation steps using the new module/add-on approach
Revised IAM/IRSA configuration
Updated examples for backup/restore configuration
Removal or correction of outdated content
Clear guidance on how Velero integrates with KubeRocketCI in its current architecture
The updated content should fully replace the old Velero documentation.
Why is this enhancement beneficial to the KubeRocketCI documentation?
Users following the existing documentation may apply deprecated installation methods or run into errors caused by outdated configuration approaches.
Refreshing the Velero documentation will:
Reduce onboarding friction
Prevent misconfiguration issues
Provide a consistent, modern workflow across all KubeRocketCI modules
Improve reliability of cluster backup and disaster recovery processes
Describe alternatives you've considered
Keeping the existing documentation with a small correction was considered, but this would still leave major gaps due to the architectural change toward modules and add-ons.
External Velero guides also exist, but they do not cover the KubeRocketCI-specific module structure or integration patterns.
Propose a Draft (if possible)
Proposed structure of updated documentation:
Overview of Velero in KubeRocketCI
Installing Velero using modules and add-ons
Configuring IAM/IRSA (updated approach)
BackupStorageLocation and VolumeSnapshotLocation configuration
Scheduling backups
Restoring resources and PVs
Migration notes: differences from the old documentation
Troubleshooting and known limitations
Additional Context
The current Velero page(s) in the documentation reference deprecated installation steps.
