You can read their blog on the plugin, including a simple how-to description, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.stackpoint.io\/stackpoint-io-automates-digitalocean-backup-recovery-with-heptio-ark-156e81de5d2d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the box, Heptio Ark enables disaster recovery by backing up Kubernetes resources and snapshotting Persistent Volumes for clusters running in Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure. Disaster recovery for other Persistent Volumes is delivered through a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.heptio.com\/announcing-heptio-ark-v0-9-0-766fdc8c0c01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Restic integration<\/a> that enables filesystem-based snapshotting.<\/p>\n<p>Now with the DigitalOcean Heptio Ark plugin, users can take native snapshots of their DigitalOcean Block Storage Volumes. Additionally, DigitalOcean Spaces provide an s3-compatible API so users can store their Heptio Ark backups in a local object storage. These features improve the speed of backups and offers a consistent user experience across cloud providers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s remarkable how quickly Kubernetes has grown as evidenced by the recently announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalocean.com\/products\/kubernetes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DigitalOcean Kubernetes<\/a> offering. DigitalOcean joins the increasing number of cloud service providers that offer managed Kubernetes clusters. Developers and operators can have confidence that Heptio Ark provides consistent disaster recovery regardless of where they run Kubernetes.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more<\/p>\n<p>Want to learn more about managing Kubernetes disaster recovery using Heptio Ark or need to develop a custom plugin?
