We are excited to announce the release of Ark v0.9.0<\/a>! This release brings two major new features: integration with restic<\/a> to back up almost every type of Kubernetes volume, and initial support for exporting metrics in the Prometheus data format. There is also a critical bug fix to avoid potential backup\/restore data corruption<\/a>, so we encourage you to upgrade.<\/p>\n

Volume snapshots with restic<\/h3>\n

With Ark v0.9.0, it\u2019s now possible to snapshot almost every type of Kubernetes volume (hostPath is not supported). This feature complements Ark\u2019s ability to snapshot disks from AWS, Google, and Azure (as well as any custom plugin integrations, such as PortWorx<\/a>). You could use native snapshotting for these types of disks and restic snapshots for everything else, or you could use restic for everything. Ark\u2019s restic integration is a good option if your type of PersistentVolume doesn\u2019t currently have a plugin for Ark, or if it doesn\u2019t offer a native snapshot concept, such as emptyDir and NFS.<\/p>\n

For more details, including setup instructions, see our restic documentation<\/a> and our initial annoucement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prometheus metrics<\/h3>\n

We\u2019d like to offer a huge thanks to community contributor Ashish Amarnath<\/a> for providing the initial support for exposing Prometheus<\/a> metrics. Ark v0.9.0 includes the following metrics:<\/p>\n
