    Description

      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.
        etc.
