Amazon AWS Remarks

Elastic Block Storage

Documentation:

• AWS EBS Volume Types

Remarks:

• It is recommended to use at least GP2 (can be IO1) volume type for ArangoDeployment PV.
• GP2 Volume IOPS is mostly based on storage size. If bigger load is expected use bigger volumes.
• GP2 Volume supports burst mode. In case load in ArangoDeployment is expected only periodically you can use smaller GP2 Volumes to save costs.
• AWS EBS support resizing of Volume. Volume size can be changed during lifetime, but it requires pod to be recreated.

LoadBalancer

Documentation:

• AWS LB Annotations

Remarks:

• AWS LB in TCP mode is able to resend request in case of timeout while waiting for response from Coordinator/DBServer. This can break some POST requests, like data insertion. To change default value, set to 60s, you can set annotation for ArangoDeployment LoadBalancer service.

kubectl annotate --overwrite service/<ArangoDeployment name>-ea service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-connection-idle-timeout=<value is seconds, max 15 min>
