CSI Integration
Use Velero to backup and restore using the v1beta1 Snapshot APIs
Backup and restores- in-cluster restores and cluster migration. Live demo of this later.
Created some issues:
Upstream external snapshotter:
VolumeSnapshotRef.UID should be cleared on volumesnapshot deletion
Relation between VolumeSnapshotContent and VolumeSnapshot should be 1:many
Lifecycle of VolumeSnapshot Kubernetes objects should be decoupled from that in the storage system
Velero:
Ensure restored workloads can be backed up
Ensure backup and restore of volumesnapshots created outside of velero work
Repeated backup of the same CSI workload should not leave orphan resources
I’ll add more details into the issues in the Velero repo.
See our progress in the velero-plugin-for-csi repo and feel free to jump in and contribute.

v1.3.1 patch release
https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/2322
nrb and skriss will try to get v1.3.1 out today
Important for users of v1.3.1 to upgrade, but it’s largely based on what CRDs users have; if there are numeric fields, they will see this bug
Update from Dylan Murray - actively working on https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/2332 before tackling client & install issues
