Discussion Topics

[nrb] When do we increment the backup format version? Refer to this comment
PR that added backup version: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/1117
AI - Nolan to document when we increment backup format versions (most likely following semantic versioning)
Current PR changes are backwards compatible, so they’re a patch version in semantic versioning parlance
[dymurray/sseago] Race condition with AdditionalItmes https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/1350
We haven’t seen others asking for this feature, but willing to let the RH team lead with a design doc on this
[nrb] I see this as a generically useful tool, +1 to RH taking the lead here
[dymurray/sseago] Restoring PVs that already exist (related https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/2170)
[nrb] Is this a specific case of https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/1977?
data-only restores https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/504
Could the PV rename mechanism work here? I was thinking of the StorageClass remapping
[carlisia] should “liveness” mean “ready”, and should we use a liveness check to check for readiness: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/2382
Kubernetes definitions of readiness/liveness - https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/
[marccampbell] Willingness / timeline for custom restore hooks? https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/2116
[mayank] patch release for plugin velero.io/change-pvc-node-selector
