Issue
At first release, Astra supports the Bitnami Jenkins Helm chart which does not currently provide support for the Kubernetes Plugin. The Kubernetes plugin dynamically creates agent pods for workloads. Some customers may wish to install the optional Kubernetes plugin and a GKE Plugin manually with a custom manifest to provide scale. This KB details workarounds to enable Astra to successfully backup/restore/clone Jenkins with the Kubernetes Plugin installed and running.
