Install a Kubernetes backup operator on OpenShift | Trilio for Kubernetes

Install the Trilio for Kubernetes backup operator on Red Hat OpenShift from the Software Catalog (OperatorHub on earlier versions), with the settings we recommend for production.

You will:

• Find the certified Trilio for Kubernetes operator in the Software Catalog (Ecosystem menu on OpenShift 4.21)
• Install it from the channel of your T4K minor version into the trilio-system namespace
• Set update approval to Manual, so OpenShift never upgrades T4K in the middle of a backup window
• Enable the T4K console plugin (check the release notes for the OpenShift versions it supports)
• Approve the install plan and check that the operator shows Succeeded

Best practices covered: run only GA builds in production and stay on the latest maintenance release of your minor version; approve upgrades through change control; keep T4K alone in trilio-system, because Manual approval applies to every operator in the namespace.
