Highlights
Data mover micro service
Data transfer activities for CSI Snapshot Data Movement are moved from node-agent pods to dedicate backupPods or restorePods. This brings many benefits such as:
- This avoids to access volume data through host path, while host path access is privileged and may involve security escalations, which are concerned by users.
- This enables users to to control resource (i.e., cpu, memory) allocations in a granular manner, e.g., control them per backup/restore of a volume.
- This enhances the resilience, crash of one data movement activity won't affect others.
- This prevents unnecessary full backup because of host path changes after workload pods restart.
- For more information, check the design https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/Implemented/vgdp-micro-service/vgdp-micro-service.md.
Item Block concepts and ItemBlockAction (IBA) plugin
Item Block concepts are introduced for resource backups to help to achieve multiple thread backups. Specifically, correlated resources are categorized in the same item block and item blocks could be processed concurrently in multiple threads.
ItemBlockAction plugin is introduced to help Velero to categorize resources into item blocks. At present, Velero provides built-in IBAs for pods and PVCs and Velero also supports customized IBAs for any resources.
In v1.15, Velero doesn't support multiple thread process of item blocks though item block concepts and IBA plugins are fully supported. The multiple thread support will be delivered in future releases.
For more information, check the design https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/main/design/backup-performance-improvements.md.
Node selection for repository maintenance job
Repository maintenance are resource consuming tasks, Velero now allows you to configure the nodes to run repository maintenance jobs, so that you can run repository maintenance jobs in idle nodes or avoid them to run in nodes hosting critical workloads.
To support the configuration, a new repository maintenance configuration configMap is introduced.
For more information, check the document https://velero.io/docs/v1.15/repository-maintenance/.
Backup PVC read-only configuration
In 1.15, Velero allows you to configure the data mover backupPods to read-only mount the backupPVCs. In this way, the data mover expose process could be significantly accelerated for some storages (i.e., ceph).
To support the configuration, a new backup PVC configuration configMap is introduced.
For more information, check the document https://velero.io/docs/v1.15/data-movement-backup-pvc-configuration/.
Backup PVC storage class configuration
In 1.15, Velero allows you to configure the storageclass used by the data mover backupPods. In this way, the provision of backupPVCs don't need to adhere to the same pattern as workload PVCs, e.g., for a backupPVC, it only needs one replica, whereas, the a workload PVC may have multiple replicas.
To support the configuration, the same backup PVC configuration configMap is used.
For more information, check the document https://velero.io/docs/v1.15/data-movement-backup-pvc-configuration/.
Backup repository data cache configuration
The backup repository may need to cache data on the client side during various repository operations, i.e., read, write, maintenance, etc. The cache consumes the root file system space of the pod where the repository access happens.
In 1.15, Velero allows you to configure the total size of the cache per repository. In this way, if your pod doesn't have enough space in its root file system, the pod won't be evicted due to running out of ephemeral storage.
To support the configuration, a new backup repository configuration configMap is introduced.
For more information, check the document https://velero.io/docs/v1.15/backup-repository-configuration/.
Performance improvements
In 1.15, several performance related issues/enhancements are included, which makes significant performance improvements in specific scenarios:
- There was a memory leak of Velero server after plugin calls, now it is fixed, see issue #7925
- The
client-burst/client-qpsparameters are automatically inherited to plugins, so that you can use the same velero server parameters to accelerate the plugin executions when large number of API server calls happen, see issue #7806 - Maintenance of Kopia repository takes huge memory in scenarios that huge number of files have been backed up, Velero 1.15 has included the Kopia upstream enhancement to fix the problem, see issue #7510
Runtime and dependencies
Golang runtime: v1.22.8
kopia: v0.17.0
Limitations/Known issues
Read-only backup PVC may not work on SELinux environments
Due to an issue of Kubernetes upstream, if a volume is mounted as read-only in SELinux environments, the read privilege is not granted to any user, as a result, the data mover backup will fail. On the other hand, the backupPVC must be mounted as read-only in order to accelerate the data mover expose process.
Therefore, a user option is added in the same backup PVC configuration configMap, once the option is enabled, the backupPod container will run as a super privileged container and disable SELinux access control. If you have concern in this super privileged container or you have configured pod security admissions and don't allow super privileged containers, you will not be able to use this read-only backupPVC feature and lose the benefit to accelerate the data mover expose process.
Breaking changes
Deprecation of Restic
Restic path for fs-backup is in deprecation process starting from 1.15. According to Velero deprecation policy, for 1.15, if Restic path is used the backup/restore of fs-backup still creates and succeeds, but you will see warnings in below scenarios:
- When
--uploader-type=resticis used in Velero installation - When Restic path is used to create backup/restore of fs-backup
node-agent configuration name is configurable
Previously, a fixed name is searched for node-agent configuration configMap. Now in 1.15, Velero allows you to customize the name of the configMap, on the other hand, the name must be specified by node-agent server parameter node-agent-configmap.
Repository maintenance job configurations in Velero server parameter are moved to repository maintenance job configuration configMap
In 1.15, below Velero server parameters for repository maintenance jobs are moved to the repository maintenance job configuration configMap. While for back compatibility reason, the same Velero sever parameters are preserved as is. But the configMap is recommended and the same values in the configMap take preference if they exist in both places:
--keep-latest-maintenance-jobs
--maintenance-job-cpu-request
--maintenance-job-mem-request
--maintenance-job-cpu-limit
--maintenance-job-mem-limit
Changing PVC selected-node feature is deprecated
In 1.15, the Changing PVC selected-node feature enters deprecation process and will be removed in future releases according to Velero deprecation policy. Usage of this feature for any purpose is not recommended.

Highlights
The maintenance work for kopia/restic backup repositories is run in jobs
Since velero started using kopia as the approach for filesystem-level backup/restore, we've noticed an issue when velero connects to the kopia backup repositories and performs maintenance, it sometimes consumes excessive memory that can cause the velero pod to get OOM Killed. To mitigate this issue, the maintenance work will be moved out of velero pod to a separate kubernetes job, and the user will be able to specify the resource request in "velero install".
Volume Policies are extended to support more actions to handle volumes
In an earlier release, a flexible volume policy was introduced to skip certain volumes from a backup. In v1.14 we've made enhancement to this policy to allow the user to set how the volumes should be backed up. The user will be able to set "fs-backup" or "snapshot" as value of “action" in the policy and velero will backup the volumes accordingly. This enhancement allows the user to achieve a fine-grained control like "opt-in/out" without having to update the target workload. For more details please refer to https://velero.io/docs/v1.14/resource-filtering/#supported-volumepolicy-actions
Node Selection for Data Movement Backup
In velero the data movement flow relies on datamover pods, and these pods may take substantial resources and keep running for a long time. In v1.14, the user will be able to create a configmap to define the eligible nodes on which the datamover pods are launched. For more details refer to https://velero.io/docs/v1.14/data-movement-backup-node-selection/
VolumeInfo metadata for restored volumes
In v1.13, we introduced volumeinfo metadata for backup to help velero CLI and downstream adopter understand how velero handles each volume during backup. In v1.14, similar metadata will be persisted for each restore. velero CLI is also updated to bring more info in the output of "velero restore describe".
"Finalizing" phase is introduced to restores
The "Finalizing" phase is added to the state transition flow to restore, which helps us fix several issues: The labels added to PVs will be restored after the data in the PV is restored via volumesnapshotter. The post restore hook will be executed after datamovement is finished.
Certificate-based authentication support for Azure
Besides the service principal with secret(password)-based authentication, Velero introduces the new support for service principal with certificate-based authentication in v1.14.0. This approach enables you to adopt a phishing resistant authentication by using conditional access policies, which better protects Azure resources and is the recommended way by Azure.
Runtime and dependencies
- Golang runtime: v1.22.2
- kopia: v0.17.0
Limitations/Known issues
- For the external BackupItemAction plugins that take snapshots for PVs, such as vsphere plugin. If the plugin checks the value of the field "snapshotVolumes" in the backup spec as a criteria for snapshot, the settings in the volume policy will not take effect. For example, if the "snapshotVolumes" is set to False in the backup spec, but a volume meets the condition in the volume policy for "snapshot" action, because the plugin will not check the settings in the volume policy, the plugin will not take snapshot for the volume. For more details please refer to #7818
Breaking changes
- CSI plugin has been merged into velero repo in v1.14 release. It will be installed by default as an internal plugin, and should not be installed via "–plugins " parameter in "velero install" command.
- The default resource requests and limitations for node agent are removed in v1.14, to make the node agent pods have the QoS class of "BestEffort", more details please refer to #7391
- There's a change in namespace filtering behavior during backup: In v1.14, when the includedNamespaces/excludedNamespaces fields are not set and the labelSelector/OrLabelSelectors are set in the backup spec, the backup will only include the namespaces which contain the resources that match the label selectors, while in previous releases all namespaces will be included in the backup with such settings. More details refer to #7105
- Patching the PV in the "Finalizing" state may cause the restore to be in "PartiallyFailed" state when the PV is blocked in "Pending" state, while in the previous release the restore may end up being in "Complete" state. For more details refer to #7866

Documentation
Upgrading
https://velero.io/docs/v1.14/upgrade-to-1.14/
Highlights
The maintenance work for kopia/restic backup repositories is run in jobs
Since velero started using kopia as the approach for filesystem-level backup/restore, we've noticed an issue when velero connects to the kopia backup repositories and performs maintenance, it sometimes consumes excessive memory that can cause the velero pod to get OOM Killed. To mitigate this issue, the maintenance work will be moved out of velero pod to a separate kubernetes job, and the user will be able to specify the resource request in "velero install".
Volume Policies are extended to support more actions to handle volumes
In an earlier release, a flexible volume policy was introduced to skip certain volumes from a backup. In v1.14 we've made enhancement to this policy to allow the user to set how the volumes should be backed up. The user will be able to set "fs-backup" or "snapshot" as value of “action" in the policy and velero will backup the volumes accordingly. This enhancement allows the user to achieve a fine-grained control like "opt-in/out" without having to update the target workload. For more details please refer to https://velero.io/docs/v1.14/resource-filtering/#supported-volumepolicy-actions
Node Selection for Data Movement Backup
In velero the data movement flow relies on datamover pods, and these pods may take substantial resources and keep running for a long time. In v1.14, the user will be able to create a configmap to define the eligible nodes on which the datamover pods are launched. For more details refer to https://velero.io/docs/v1.14/data-movement-backup-node-selection/
VolumeInfo metadata for restored volumes
In v1.13, we introduced volumeinfo metadata for backup to help velero CLI and downstream adopter understand how velero handles each volume during backup. In v1.14, similar metadata will be persisted for each restore. velero CLI is also updated to bring more info in the output of "velero restore describe".
"Finalizing" phase is introduced to restores
The "Finalizing" phase is added to the state transition flow to restore, which helps us fix several issues: The labels added to PVs will be restored after the data in the PV is restored via volumesnapshotter. The post restore hook will be executed after datamovement is finished.
Certificate-based authentication support for Azure
Besides the service principal with secret(password)-based authentication, Velero introduces the new support for service principal with certificate-based authentication in v1.14.0. This approach enables you to adopt a phishing resistant authentication by using conditional access policies, which better protects Azure resources and is the recommended way by Azure.
Runtime and dependencies
- Golang runtime: v1.22.2
- kopia: v0.17.0
Limitations/Known issues
- For the external BackupItemAction plugins that take snapshots for PVs, such as vsphere plugin. If the plugin checks the value of the field "snapshotVolumes" in the backup spec as a criteria for snapshot, the settings in the volume policy will not take effect. For example, if the "snapshotVolumes" is set to False in the backup spec, but a volume meets the condition in the volume policy for "snapshot" action, because the plugin will not check the settings in the volume policy, the plugin will not take snapshot for the volume. For more details please refer to #7818
Breaking changes
- CSI plugin has been merged into velero repo in v1.14 release. It will be installed by default as an internal plugin, and should not be installed via "–plugins " parameter in "velero install" command.
- The default resource requests and limitations for node agent are removed in v1.14, to make the node agent pods have the QoS class of "BestEffort", more details please refer to #7391
- There's a change in namespace filtering behavior during backup: In v1.14, when the includedNamespaces/excludedNamespaces fields are not set and the labelSelector/OrLabelSelectors are set in the backup spec, the backup will only include the namespaces which contain the resources that match the label selectors, while in previous releases all namespaces will be included in the backup with such settings. More details refer to #7105
- Patching the PV in the "Finalizing" state may cause the restore to be in "PartiallyFailed" state when the PV is blocked in "Pending" state, while in the previous release the restore may end up being in "Complete" state. For more details refer to #7866
