The following is an example resource, depicting the overall structure and any defaults (consult the field reference for valid values for "empty" values, such as empty strings etc.):

couchbasebackups.apiVersion

Constraints

Type: string

Description

APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources.

couchbasebackups.kind

Buckets may contain periods, and therefore must be escaped — my\.bucket.my-scope, as period is the separator used to delimit scopes and collections. Excluded data cannot overlap e.g. specifying my-bucket and my-bucket.my-scope is illegal. This field cannot be used at the same time as included items.
