IBM Cloud Pak foundational services

The two cases in which a back up of IBM Cloud Pak® foundational services is necessary.

Normally, a backup of IBM Cloud Pak foundational services is not necessary, since a Maximo® Application Suite core installation that uses the Maximo Application Suite DevOps Ansible® Collection configures and deploys all the necessary dependencies from the IBM Cloud Pak foundational services.
The only exceptions are when a custom ClusterIssuer or when the Let's Encrypt Integration are in use for Maximo Application Suite. If so, all the applicable ClusterIssuer and Secret resources need to be exported and backed up.

If only the provided self-signed certificates are used, then a Maximo Application Suite installation generates a new self-signed certificate that is satisfactory.
