Bucket

When using AWS as the storage provider you will need to create a S3 bucket.

IAM Role

When assigning an IAM role for Velero on EKS, you should create a role with the following policies:

To backup bucket ARN, for any object ("*")

• s3:ListBucket
• s3:PutObject
• s3:GetObject
• s3:DeleteObject
• s3:AbortMultipartUpload
• s3:ListMultipartUploadParts

To any resource ("*")

• ec2:DescribeVolumes
• ec2:DescribeSnapshots
• ec2:CreateTags
• ec2:CreateVolume
• ec2:CreateSnapshot
• ec2:DeleteSnapshot
