Blueprints
Veeam Kasten uses Kanister, an open-source framework to perform application-level data management on Kubernetes. For more information, refer to this page.
The Blueprints
page in the navigation sidebar can be used to manage
Kanister Blueprints.
To create a new Blueprint resource, click on the Add Blueprint
button.
This opens a text editor where the raw YAML Blueprint can be pasted.
Once the Blueprint text is added, click on the Validate and Save
button
to validate and create the resource. Currently, all the Blueprints are created
in the Veeam Kasten namespace.
Similarly, the edit
button on the listed Blueprints can be used
to modify them.
When a Blueprint is either added or updated, the Kanister function names as well as the required arguments to those functions are validated to be correct.
Managing Blueprint Resources
Blueprints can be assigned to namespace resources from the Applications page. To assign a Blueprint to a resource, follow the steps below:
Navigate to the Applications page by clicking the
Applications
link in the navigation sidebar.
Select an application by clicking on a row in the applications table; this action will display a side panel containing details for the selected application.
Click the ellipsis menu for the desired resource, and then select
Configure Blueprints
.
To assign a Blueprint to a resource, select it it from the drop-down in the
Blueprint Annotation
section of theConfigure Blueprints
modal and clickSave and Close
.
