      <---

      It's not clear yet if OVN-K Interconnect (OVN-IC) will resolve the Local Zone problem, need to run spikes to develop that Epic/feature

      --->

      Epic Goal

      • The MTU customizations enforced in the installer when edge compute pool are present in AWS deployment (introduced in 4.13) must be reviewed with new OVN-K Interconnect feature (available in 4.14)
      • Depending of the results> Remove any MTU enforcement and leave OVN-IC resolve the connectivity between zones (for IC each node has it's own zone)

      Why is this important?

      • The cluster network MTU is lowered 7 times (from 9k to ~1.2k) when installing a cluster with Local Zones subnets. It was created to enable the feature as AWS MTU between the Local Zone and in the region are 1300. AWS Supports "hybrid mode" and the VPC network does not requires to lower the interface MTU as it supports per Path MTU discovery (PMTUD), but SDN (OVN-K, O-SDN) does not support, so services inside the cluster network was impacted.
