Which section(s) is the issue in?

"Backup and recovery"
https://docs.openshift.com/rosa/rosa_architecture/rosa_policy_service_definition/rosa-policy-process-security.html#backup-recovery_rosa-policy-process-security

What needs fixing?

The usage of the term "object store backup" is confusing, and the explanation "all Kubernetes objects like etcd" is not sufficient to make its meaning clear.

As an AWS user, I would assume "object store" means S3 service as the destination of the backups or it means the backup of cluster data that is stored in S3 buckets, such as container images from the internal registry.

It is not clear from the table of what, if anything, these backups include other than Kubernetes API resources (stored in etcd) and application data on Persistent Volumes. For example:

  • would container images from the internal registry be included in any of these backups?
  • would application data stored in S3 buckets be included?

IMHO our docs should be sensitivite to the terms AWS customers would be used to, even of the meaning would be clar to skilled OpenShift customers. And the internal registry should be mentioned explicitly, as well as application data stored on S3, RDS, and any other AWS server that we do not back up.
