Embedded SQLite

By default, vCluster uses embedded SQLite with a PersistentVolume resource to store data.

You can turn off PersistentVolume sync for testing, where losing data on restarts is acceptable.

Disable SQLite​

controlPlane:
  backingStore:
    database:
      embedded:
        enabled: false

Disable SQLite if you want to use a different database. See External database for configuration details.
