FEATURE: Operator primary vttablet balancer #544

Open GenLN opened 7 months ago

GenLN commented 7 months ago

Hi, does Vitess operator offer some kind of balancing/rebalancing primary vttablet deployment? Something like anti-affinty for pods etc..

To minimize the chance of the high-severity failures: Primaries should be evenly assigned across Kubernetes nodes Primaries should be evenly assigned across availability zones

More about custom solution using OR Tools found on this blog

If there isn't any solution for this offered by operator, is there any chance this could be available sometime soon?

hi @GenLN,

I don't think this will be available anytime soon, unfortunately. It would be a nice addition though! The vitess maintainers, of which there are not many, do all of the work related to vitess and the vitesss-operator: product/program/project management, engineering, documentation, community support, devrel, builds, releases, etc — in addition to each of us working for a large shop that runs Vitess and all the work that goes with supporting that internally. It's a lot, and we'd love to see new contributors! Are you interested in working on this?
