Update all deployment tutorials to use locality #10311

Open jseldess opened 3 years ago

Jesse Seldess commented:

In our manual deployment tutorials, we have a paragraph about the need to add locality for multi-region (end of step 3). However, even for single-region clusters, we should be encouraging customers to set locality as a best practice and in preparation for future scaling out to multiple regions. It would also help us to avoid cases where customers have to do a rolling restart to add localities (see https://github.com/cockroachdb/docs/issues/9970).

Likewise, we should guide users to customize their Kubernetes configs to use locality, even for single-region, in preparation for multi-region scaling.

I'd like to add that a single region Kubernetes cluster is likely to be deployed on multiple AZs, setting up localities w/ Regions and AZ in that scenario can distribute range across AZs, give stronger resiliency. Otherwise some ranges could place all replicas in a single AZ and can experience unavailable ranges when multiple nodes fail in an AZ, not to mention AZ failure.

Relates to #10479.

@taroface, did you mean to link to a different issue or PR? Not sure how that one is related...

taroface commented 3 years ago

I had the wrong PR number originally. Or are you referring to #10479?

jseldess commented 3 years ago

Ah ok. No, I was just confused by that previously linked PR. All good.
