What would you like to be added:
Update ETCD volume (GP3) to use lower storage capacity.
Why is this needed:
The current storage capacity of
80Gi
was used for GP2 volumes for ETCD data storage, since the IOPS for GP2 volumes is determined by the volume size. Hence,80Gi
was set as the volume size in order to achieve optimum IOPS for ETCD, even though the ETCD DB and additional operations do not utilise the entire 80GB of storage. With the move toGP3
volumes, this is no longer necessary - the storage capacity can be reduced to a lower value sufficient enough to host the ETCD DB and allow additional operations on it (such as defragmentation, restoration, etc).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
