Description

### The required feature described as a wish

As a User/Admin/Operator I would like to ,associated a backup offering to be associated with a cks cluster .

Image

Currently, there is no way to associate a Backup offering during CKS deployment

https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/createKubernetesCluster.html

Associating a backup offering is only possible when virtual machine is deployed from the ui api

https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/assignVirtualMachineToBackupOffering.html
https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/removeVirtualMachineFromBackupOffering.html

Currently user has to manually associate cks-instance (control and worker node ) to a backup offering

Image

Also, we can take a look to support velero as a backup provider for kubernetes cluster

https://velero.io/

Currently hyperscalers support kubernetes backup offering

Research direction

Start with the createKubernetesCluster API and the assignVirtualMachineToBackupOffering and removeVirtualMachineFromBackupOffering APIs referenced in the issue. Determine how a backup offering should be selected during CKS deployment and whether Velero is in scope; done should allow control and worker instances to receive the requested backup offering without manual association.
