Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)
Due to historical reasons, the etcd operator uses a static definition of an 8GB limit. Nowadays, customers with dense cluster configurations regularly reach the limit. OpenShift should provide a mechanism for increasing the database size while maintaining a validated configuration.
Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)
This feature aims to provide validated selectable sizes for the etcd database, allowing cluster admins to opt-in for larger sizes.
Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):
Since using larger etcd database sizes may impact the defragmentation process, causing more noticeable transaction "pauses", this should be an opt-in configuration.
Anyone reviewing this Feature needs to know which deployment configurations that the Feature will apply to (or not) once it's been completed. Describe specific needs (or indicate N/A) for each of the following deployment scenarios. For specific configurations that are out-of-scope for a given release, ensure you provide the OCPSTRAT (for the future to be supported configuration) as well.
Deployment considerations | List applicable specific needs (N/A = not applicable) |
Self-managed, managed, or both | Yes |
Classic (standalone cluster) | Yes |
Hosted control planes | No |
Multi node, Compact (three node), or Single node (SNO), or all | Yes |
Connected / Restricted Network | Yes |
Architectures, e.g. x86_x64, ARM (aarch64), IBM Power (ppc64le), and IBM Z (s390x) | Yes |
Operator compatibility | N/A |
Backport needed (list applicable versions) | N/A |
UI need (e.g. OpenShift Console, dynamic plugin, OCM) | No |
Other (please specify) | N/A |
Use Cases (Optional):
Include use case diagrams, main success scenarios, alternative flow scenarios. Initial completion during Refinement status.
