orchestrator: Select backend database solution
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

We could use m1, but the downside is that orchestrator doesn't support management of it's backend database cluster.

We've decided for now to use the tendril/zarcillo 'cluster' (db1115/db2093). As db1115 is running 10.1 (for tokudb support for tendril), we'll only create the orchestrator database on db2093 for now (which runs mariadb 10.4).

When we finally drop tendril we can upgrade db1115 to mariadb 10.4, and have replication. db2093 is already backed up, so we can always recover in case that node fails in the meantime.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2020-10-21T11:00:56Z] <marostegui> Upgrade db2093's mariadb version T266003

Marostegui subscribed.

Upgraded db2093 from 10.4.12 to 10.4.15
Rebooted it to pick the new kernels too.

db2093 now hosts the orchestrator database.
@Kormat the only pending thing is to decide what to do with monitoring and read_only right? As right now read_only alerts on db2093 as it is supposed to be read_only=true but that cannot longer happen as this host needs to be writable for orchestrator.

@Marostegui: correct. I've sent a CR to change the read_only status for now.
