How to create a backup of a Kubernetes cluster?
I have an active Kubernetes cluster in my linode, but I want to shut it down since it's not currently being used. I don't want to delete it, though, I'd like to create a backup that can be stored in Object Storage. How does one do this within linode?

Although we do not have any available documentation on how you can create a backup of your LKE cluster using Object Storage, we do have a community post that can you show you how to create a snapshot of your cluster's metadata:
Velero is another option for creating Kubernetes backups, however I haven't utilized them myself. There's this documentation that you can refer to that goes over how you can use Velero to backup an entire Kubernete Clusters to Object Storage. Although, the article refers to a different platform, you can make certain adjustments that are more specific to your case and referring to our Object Storage guide.
