KubeVirt Disk Uploader

Extracts disk and uploads it to a container registry.

About

A tool designed to automate the extraction of disk, rebuild as Container Disk and upload to the Container Registry.

Usage

These are the supported export sources:

• VirtualMachine (VM)
• VirtualMachineSnapshot (VM Snapshot)
• PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC)

Data from the source can be exported only when it is not used.

Prerequisites

• Modify kubevirt-disk-uploader arguments.
• Modify kubevirt-disk-uploader-credentials of the external container registry.

Parameters

• Export Source Kind: Specify the export source kind (vm, vmsnapshot, pvc).
• Export Source Namespace: The namespace of the export source.
• Export Source Name: The name of the export source.
• Volume Name: The name of the volume to export data.
• Image Destination: Destination of the image in container registry ($HOST/$OWNER/$REPO:$TAG).
• Push Timeout: The push timeout of container disk to registry.

Deploy kubevirt-disk-uploader within the same namespace of Export Source (VM, VM Snapshot, PVC):

kubectl apply -f kubevirt-disk-uploader.yaml -n $POD_NAMESPACE

Setting of environment variable POD_NAMESPACE overrides the value in --export-source-namespace if passed.
