Release Notes

This is the inaugural release of site-recovery, a Kubernetes operator designed to automate site recovery and disaster recovery workflows across clusters. It provides platform engineers and SREs with a declarative, Kubernetes-native approach to managing failover, failback, and cross-cluster recovery operations. As the first release, all features are new and no migration from a previous version is required.

New features

Kubernetes Operator for Disaster Recovery
Introduces the core site-recovery operator, enabling automated disaster recovery workflows across Kubernetes clusters using standard Kubernetes custom resources and controllers.
Declarative Recovery Workflows
Define site recovery plans as Kubernetes custom resources, allowing teams to version-control, audit, and automate failover and failback procedures without manual intervention.
Multi-Cluster Support
Coordinate recovery operations across multiple Kubernetes clusters, supporting both active-passive and active-active site topologies for flexible disaster recovery architectures.
Automated Failover and Failback
Trigger and orchestrate failover to secondary sites and failback to primary sites automatically or on demand, reducing recovery time objectives (RTO) for critical workloads.
Recovery Status and Observability
Monitor recovery workflow progress, health, and history through Kubernetes resource status conditions, events, and compatible metrics endpoints for integration with existing observability stacks.
