Epic Goal
- Reduce CPU Idle/Stressed, Memory Idle/Stressed, Container Count, Image Size target metrics as predicted in https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1j646hJDVNefFfy1Z7glYx5sNBnSZymDjCbUQVOZJ8CE
Why is this important?
- Having reduced resource footprint for Edge customers that are not having as much room in their k8s installations as most kubernetes distributions is important for LVMS usability
- Red Hat can now offer a native Dynamic Provisioning Local Storage Provider with a minimal footprint that sets it apart from other Providers.
- LVMS can now be the goto Local Storage Provider for Edge, especially for small form factor SNO deployments.
- MicroShift can save resources AND gain features from switching to LVMS instead of pure TopoLVM by using our optimizations for Red Hat Device Edge.
- The Telco RAN Reference Specification can consider LVMS an alternative to LSO without compromising on resources, allowing it to run in the Management CoreSet, freeing up resources for customers.
Scenarios
- Microshift is run with TopoLVM Midstream via existing lvmd.conf file and needs to have all previous functionality of TopoLVM while consuming less resources at idle or under stress
- While LVMS is already migrated to a minifed version for SNO/MNO customers for 4.16, Microshift still needs to work with the previous version of non-modified TopoLVM to ensure its compatibility guarantees
Acceptance Criteria
- Container Count reduction
- 1 Deployment (2 before)
- 1 DaemonSet (2 before)
- 2 Containers (11 before)
- 4 Services (5 before)
- CPU / Memory reduction
- See https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hau7opDQ3hY3DXc9Q0ptkiER90_I1fsxodwuAZPrt30/edit?usp=sharing for target metrics here
- Image count/ size reduction
- Total Image Size <100 Mi
- Total Image Count 1
- Fully upgradeable via CSV Subscription
- Not breaking any APIs
- Fully compatible with previous versions of LVMS
- No disabled Controllers or otherwise critical functionality
