This page describes how resource locations impact the operation of the Backup for GKE service.
Backup for GKE provides two types of top-level resources (BackupPlans
and
RestorePlans
). These resources are always created within a resource hierarchy
that includes project ID and location. As a regional service, Backup for GKE locations
are always Google Cloud regions.
Backup for GKE resource regions have these implications:
BackupPlan
Defines the region where all backup artifacts produced by the
BackupPlan
will be stored (both config backups and volume backups). If the cluster being backed up using aBackupPlan
is in a different region than theBackupPlan
, this could incur inter-region data transfer fees when performing those backups.Defines the allowed region for CMEK keys (see About CMEK encryption). If you want to register a CMEK key for encrypting backup artifacts, the key must have the same region as the
BackupPlan
.
RestorePlan
- Defines the region where backup artifacts will be restored. The target
cluster referenced in a
RestorePlan
must be either a zonal or regional cluster within the same region as theRestorePlan
. If theRestorePlan
region is different than theBackupPlan
region, this could incur inter-region data transfer fees when performing those restores.
- Defines the region where backup artifacts will be restored. The target
cluster referenced in a
