Abstract
A new snapshot of a storage volume is created by instructing computing nodes to suppress write requests. An orchestration layer implements a multi-role application that is provisioned with virtualized storage and computation resources. A snapshot of the application may be created and used to rollback or clone the application. Clones snapshots of storage volumes may be thin clones. An application may use multiple orchestration approaches and objects of the multi-role application may be discovered and added to an application definition. The application definition may be used to create snapshots of the application and perform operations using the snapshots. Rolling back may include deleting objects other than PVCs, followed by rolling back storage volumes mounted to the PVCs, followed by recreating objects according to an application snapshot. PVCs created by a custom resource may be deleted along with the custom resource with the PVCs being recreated before recreating the custom resource.
