Hi,
Azure Recovery Service does not support Disaster Recovery for Azure AKS. Also, I have tried to take a snapshot for Azure managed disk as AKS PVC and replica it to the storage account then create a disk form storage account resume the disk to AKS PVC.
But, I think my practice not enough to cover the whole Azure AKS cluster backup. However, I have tried another practice like Velero as opensource K8s Backup & Disaster Recovery tools. But the Velero does not support volume snapshot cross-region disaster recovery.
There has any best practice to support the Azure AKS Disaster Recovery from Microsoft?
If not, have any best practices for Azure AKS Disaster Recovery?
Thank you,
Chris

I am also looking for the same scenario, tested Velero but it does not support does not support volume snapshot cross-region disaster recovery.
Did you find any solution for the DR scenario, if so kindly let me know.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello @Chris Cheung ,
Thanks for your query !
Can you kindly check out the below article w.r.t Best practices and disaster recovery in AKS
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/operator-best-practices-multi-region
If that document helps out , make sure to Upvote and Accept the Answer
I have been read this article, but this article just has a bit of concept about disaster recovery and no cover a whole concept for it.
I have mentioned above I tried Velero but it can't support multi-region for volume snapshot. You can check the limitation of Velero below:
Also, I'm using Azure managed disk for the AKS persistent volume, and the Microsoft best practice disaster recovery article points out to Velero and Kasten were more suitable for a managed disk.
However, I was used Velero and know that Velero is not a backup and disaster recovery of comprehensive for AKS.
Therefore, That is why I say have any best practice to support disaster recovery or not.
