The way Velero works, is by asking the <code>Kubernetes API</code> for the desired manifests you want to backup, that way you do not need a direct access to the <code>etcd</code> Database. This is very useful when you are using managed Kubernetes clusters like <code>AWS</code>, <code>GCP</code>, <code>Digital Ocean</code> etc. As when using managed clusters you do not have direct access to the masters nodes.</p>
