1. A method comprising:
detecting a request to perform a cluster-wide snapshot of a cluster comprising one or more nodes on which one or more containerized applications are deployed, the cluster-wide snapshot corresponding to a point in time, wherein the request is triggered automatically in response to an event comprising a determination that one or more of the objects within the cluster are possibly being targeted by a security threat;
identifying, based on the request to perform the cluster-wide snapshot, a plurality of objects within the cluster based on whether each object within the cluster is available to or in use by clients outside the cluster;
preparing, based on the request to perform the cluster-wide snapshot, the plurality of objects within the cluster for the cluster-wide snapshot; and
generating, in response to the preparing the plurality of objects, the cluster-wide snapshot of the cluster by individually snapshotting each object of the plurality of objects.
