Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)
An elevator pitch (value statement) that describes the Feature in a clear, concise way. Complete during New status.
When control plane nodes are densely packed with processes (e.g., compact clusters and SNO) and host Pods with high priority and low latency CPU requirements, we have noticed high variability in write latency for etcd even when using solid-state disks. There are indications that this variability could be tied to the filesystem's queuing or buffering mechanism. Field reports suggest that moving etcd to a dedicated partition on the same disk alleviates or solves the issue.
This card is for further investigation of these scenarios to determine if OpenShift should adopt moving etcd to a dedicated partition, even on the same disk, by default.
Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)
The observable functionality that the user now has as a result of receiving this feature. Include the anticipated primary user type/persona and which existing features, if any, will be expanded. Complete during New status.
- Determine if OpenShift should adopt moving etcd to a dedicated partition, even on the same disk, by default.
- (if true) Design adoption and migration plan to implement in future releases
Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):
A list of specific needs or objectives that a feature must deliver in order to be considered complete. Be sure to include nonfunctional requirements such as security, reliability, performance, maintainability, scalability, usability, etc. Initial completion during Refinement status.
- Validate behavior and benefits of a dedicated etcd partition (on the same disk) by default for cloud and baremetal deployments.
- (if noticeable improvements) Create design document
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.
