Full list of PodDisruptionBudgetTemplate schema properties

A PodDisruptionBudget (PDB) is an OpenShift resource that ensures high availability by specifying the minimum number of pods that must be available during planned maintenance or upgrades. AMQ Streams creates a PDB for every new StrimziPodSet or Deployment. By default, the PDB allows only one pod to be unavailable at any given time. You can increase the number of unavailable pods allowed by changing the default value of the maxUnavailable property.

StrimziPodSet custom resources manage pods using a custom controller that cannot use the maxUnavailable value directly. Instead, the maxUnavailable value is automatically converted to a minAvailable value when creating the PDB resource, which effectively serves the same purpose, as illustrated in the following examples:

  • If there are three broker pods and the maxUnavailable property is set to 1 in the Kafka resource, the minAvailable setting is 2, allowing one pod to be unavailable.
  • If there are three broker pods and the maxUnavailable property is set to 0 (zero), the minAvailable setting is 3, requiring all three broker pods to be available and allowing zero pods to be unavailable.

PropertyDescription

metadata

Metadata to apply to the PodDisruptionBudgetTemplate resource.

MetadataTemplate

maxUnavailable

Maximum number of unavailable pods to allow automatic Pod eviction. A Pod eviction is allowed when the maxUnavailable number of pods or fewer are unavailable after the eviction. Setting this value to 0 prevents all voluntary evictions, so the pods must be evicted manually. Defaults to 1.
