Abstract
A method, in one approach, includes causing a persistent volume list for application services in a container orchestration system to be maintained, and in response to receiving a request from a first application to create a snapshot of persistent volumes in a first application service, identifying, within the persistent volume list, drivers which maintain the persistent volumes belonging to the first application service. The method further includes causing the identified drivers to create snapshots of the persistent volumes belonging to the first application service, recording a time that the snapshots for the persistent volumes belonging to the first application service are complete, and sending a first notification to the first application to acknowledge fulfillment of the request. The first notification indicates the recorded time.
