Description: The backup of GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) is an essential process that allows creating backups of the configurations and data of container orchestration clusters. This process is fundamental to ensure business continuity and disaster recovery, as it allows restoring the state of the cluster in case of failures, data loss, or configuration errors. Backups can include both Kubernetes resources, such as deployments, services, and configurations, as well as persistent data stored in volumes. Implementing backups in GKE can be done through native cloud tools, as well as through third-party solutions that offer advanced functionalities, such as scheduling automatic backups and version management. The relevance of this process lies in the growing adoption of container-based architectures and the need to maintain the integrity and availability of applications deployed in the cloud. With the evolution of DevOps practices and the migration of critical applications to Kubernetes environments, backup has become a key component of data management and cloud operations strategy.
