Document URL:
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.8/security/encrypting-etcd.html
Section Number and Name:
Describe the issue:
- In documentation, all the implications / performance loss after ETCD encryption are not mentioned.
- Add a Warning sign in documentation about performance loss after ETCD encryption.
- In a production/non-production setup, changes after ETCD encryption can cause inconvenience.
Suggestions for improvement:
Before users proceed with this change (ETCD encryption), they must be warned about the changes after encryption.
Additional information:
Few changes after ETCD encryption are mentioned below :
- ETCD encryption might affect memory consumption of few resources.
- Users can see a transient performance hit on the backup during the snapshot (backup), as the leader must serve the backup.
- A disk I/O can hit on the node which can receive the backup state.
