Review/discussion on Upload Progress Monitoring Doc
Dave Smith-Uchida
This is a design to enable monitoring of upload progress for snapshots after the main part of the backup has finished.
Volume snapshotter plug-in are used by Velero to take snapshots of persistent volume contents. Depending on the underlying storage system, those snapshots may be available to use immediately,
they may be uploaded to stable storage internally by the plug-in or they may need to be uploaded after the snapshot has been taken. We would like for Velero to continue on to the next part of the backup as quickly as possible but we would also like the backup
to not be marked as complete until it is a usable backup. We'd also eventually like to bring the control of upload under the control of Velero and allow the user to make decisions about the ultimate destination of backup data independent of the storage system
they're using.

Thanks to everyone joining today.
We had some discussion on how to keep track of the uploading state, whether to add additional phases or a new field to the Backup resource to handle that.
Plug-in versioning was identified as a pre-requisite to adding new plugin APIs.
Kubernetes Conditions and Events were identified as potential ways to track upload progress and other Velero states. Will set up a meeting to discuss that.
