Alauda Container Platform

Deploy Volume Snapshot Component

A volume snapshot refers to a snapshot of a persistent volume, which is a copy of the persistent volume at a specific point in time. If the cluster uses persistent volumes that support snapshot functionality, the volume snapshot component can be deployed to enable this feature.

Currently, the platform only supports creating volume snapshots for PVCs that are dynamically created using storage classes. You can create new PVC bindings based on these snapshots.

Tip: The access modes supported when creating PVCs from snapshots differ from those supported when creating PVCs using storage classes, which are indicated in bold in the table below.
