Prepare A Demo Application

Use an isolated namespace, clear labels, and a workload with a PVC so the tutorials can validate both resource restore and data restore.

Example Names

Item	Example
Source cluster	prod-a
Target cluster	prod-b
Namespace	demo-bookinfo
Application label	app=bookinfo
Repository	minio-dr
Backup policy	daily-backup
Data sync policy	datasync-5m
Resource sync policy	resourcesync-5m

Create Namespace

kubectl --context prod-a create namespace demo-bookinfo
kubectl --context prod-a label namespace demo-bookinfo app=bookinfo

Deploy a workload with a Deployment or StatefulSet, Service, ConfigMap or Secret, PVC, and optionally Ingress.

Write Test Data

kubectl --context prod-a -n demo-bookinfo exec deploy/<app> -- sh -c \
  'date > /data/tutorial-checkpoint.txt'

After restore or failover, verify the same file or application-level checkpoint.

Target Cluster Requirements

• Compatible StorageClass or a configured mapping.
• Required CRDs and image pull secrets.
• Access to the same object storage.
• Prepared network and image registry access for failover.
