This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Currently, integrating and configuring Kubernetes Backup (PVCs) is a manual and complex step. It has to be done manually in the K8s cluster and requires a large bunch of preparations and various commands to be executed to get it integrated.
Additionally, all B/R operations have to be performed by manually defining YAML files in kubectl. Especially restore operations are complex: first read out available versions manually, then copy time stamp to new restore YAML, then execute/apply YAML.
This should be automated as it is implemented for all other applications.:
- just register K8s cluster with credentials of K8s and let SPP deploy its containers, make its configurations and integrate automatically (no interaction with K8s CLI)
- automatically read out and provide available containers and its PVCs in SPP UI, let user drill down/search and specify relevant PVCs in UI and attach them to SLA policy
- create any YAMLs automatically by SPP and also let them be applied automatically by SPP
Overall target/vision is to get the complete control of K8s B/R out of SPP UI without manual interaction in K8s.
This may also apply to OpenShift integration.
