Add a Google Cloud Kubernetes cluster to BlueXP
You can discover or import Kubernetes clusters to BlueXP so that you can back up persistent volumes to Google Cloud.
Discover a cluster
You can discover a fully-managed or self-managed Kubernetes cluster. Managed clusters must be discovered; they cannot be imported.

Import a Cluster
You can import a self-managed Kubernetes cluster using a Kubernetes configuration file.
Before you get started
