Consul Enterprise enables you to run
|
|
the snapshot agent within your environment as a service (Systemd as an example)
|
|
or scheduled through other means. Once running, the snapshot agent service operates as a highly
|
|
available process that integrates with the snapshot API to automatically manage
|
|
taking snapshots, backup rotation, and sending backup files offsite to Amazon S3
|
|
(or another S3-compatible endpoint), Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage.
|
|
|
|
This capability provides an enterprise solution for backup and restoring the state of Consul servers
|
|
within an environment in an automated manner. These snapshots are atomic and point-in-time. Consul
|
|
datacenter backups include (but are not limited to):
|
|
|
|
- Key/Value Store Entries
|
|
- Service Catalog Registrations
|
|
- Prepared Queries
|
|
- Sessions
|
|
- Access Control Lists (ACLs)
|
|
- Namespaces
|
|
|
|
For more experience leveraging Consul's snapshot functionality, we suggest you look through our HashiCorp
