Backup & Recovery

All Rierino platform assets can be backed up and recovered using underlying data systems' capabilities.

Rierino platform uses external systems for storing and managing all of its state data. As a result, it is possible to create resilience, backup and restore complete platform by using underlying data systems.

While it is possible to export and import individual database tables from within the Rierino platform, for direct backup and recovery, using native system tools is recommended:

In case of individual service faults (e.g. a specific microservice failure), it is possible to simply send a rebuild command to or restart failing service.

While it is possible to also backup ConfigMap and Secret entries, they can be also recreated automatically using Ansible playbooks unless their contents are manually modified.
