[keycloak-dev] Using export and import for backup and restore

[Sebastian Laskawiec]

Hey,

In the next few days we'll be looking into implementing backup and restore
functionality for the Keycloak Operator. One of the options we are
considering, is using an export/import functionality. An Operator could
export all realms into a JSON file and put it somewhere in a Persistent
Volume.

I was wondering, what do you think about this approach? Are there any
guarantees around export/import functionality (especially with the regards
to its format)? Also, would it work for exporting JSON file from Keycloak
and importing it to RHSSO?

Thanks,
Sebastian
