Description

Overview

This epic focuses on integrating Disaster Recovery (DR) capabilities directly into the Hypershift CLI and HCP tooling to provide a unified and user-friendly disaster recovery experience.

Problem Statement

Currently, backup and restore operations for Hypershift clusters require multiple tools and manual coordination, making the disaster recovery process complex and error-prone. Users need to interact with different interfaces and tools to perform DR operations, which can lead to inconsistencies and operational difficulties.

Goals

• Integrate backup and restore functionality directly into the Hypershift CLI
• Provide unified DR commands through the HCP tooling
• Streamline the disaster recovery process for better user experience
• Reduce the complexity of DR operations for cluster administrators
• Ensure consistency across all DR-related operations

Scope

This epic will cover:

• CLI command integration for backup operations
• CLI command integration for restore operations
• CLI command integration for schedule operations
• Unified user interface for DR management
• Documentation and user guides for the new DR CLI features
• Testing and validation of integrated DR workflows

 Success Criteria 

• Users can perform complete backup operations using Hypershift CLI commands
• Users can perform complete restore operations using Hypershift CLI commands
• Users can perform complete schedule operations using Hypershift CLI commands
• DR operations are unified under a consistent command structure
• Documentation is available for all DR CLI features

User Stories

• As a cluster administrator, I want to backup my Hypershift cluster using a single CLI command
• As a cluster administrator, I want to restore my Hypershift cluster using a single CLI command
• As an operator, I want consistent DR operations across all my Hypershift deployments
• As a user, I want clear feedback and status reporting during DR operations

Technical Considerations

• Integration with existing backup/restore infrastructure
• CLI command design and user experience
• Error handling and recovery scenarios
• Compatibility with existing Hypershift workflows
