PowerProtect Data Manager 19.14 Kubernetes User Guide

Application actions

The application template defines actions that the PowerProtect Data Manager automatically performs on discovered resources, including ways to order the actions into a sequence.

Each action is associated with a supported resource type:

• Pod – defines actions that happen at the pod level. Each application template must have actions for pods that specify how to quiesce and unquiesce the database application inside. Templates for stand-alone applications usually contain only pod-level actions.
• StatefulSet and ReplicaSet – define actions that happen at the cluster level. This level typically contains the selectors that allow the PowerProtect Data Manager to back up pods in the correct order, before the template applies actions at the pod level.
