The control-plane flap (etcd lease-renewal timeouts) recurred. Rather than move etcd to SSD (code-oflt, deferred again), the chosen direction is to REDUCE etcd load enough that the leader-election-timeout band-aid (renew 10s->30s) becomes removable. These are the big, clean cuts: 1. Remove VPA/Goldilocks (stacks/vpa emptied). All 349 VPAs ran updateMode=Off (no auto-right-sizing) yet cost ~800 etcd objects + continuous recommender writes + a pod-creation admission webhook, purely to feed a dashboard. krr (Dockerized, on-demand) replaces it. Reverses the re-add after memory 2431. 2. Disable kyverno reporting (admission/aggregate/background). policyReports were already off, so the pipeline generated ephemeralreports + an hourly all-resource etcd re-scan for NO user-facing output. Admission enforcement (deny-* policies) and Keel mutation are unaffected; violations surface via Loki->Slack. 3. descheduler */5 -> hourly (fewer list/evict cycles; rebalancing isn't urgent). Deferred (poor ROI / unsafe as planned): ESO refreshInterval 15m->1h is a ~20-stack sprawl for ~0.1 writes/s; keel background=false is invalid for a mutate-existing policy and its churn is apply-time not steady-state. Both filed as follow-up beads. Post-apply: delete the chart-orphaned VPA CRDs to cascade-clean leftover CRs. Then measure etcd apply-latency and revert the timeouts. Docs updated (VPA/Goldilocks -> krr). See memory 5402-5407. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# VPA / Goldilocks REMOVED 2026-06-12 (etcd-load-reduction; reverses the re-add
|
|
# after memory 2431, ties to code-oflt). All 349 VPAs ran updateMode=Off (no
|
|
# auto-right-sizing) yet cost ~800 etcd objects, continuous recommender writes,
|
|
# and a pod-creation admission webhook — pure etcd overhead feeding only the
|
|
# dashboard. Right-size on demand with krr (Dockerized, no cluster footprint).
|
|
#
|
|
# The `module "vpa"` block was removed so `scripts/tg apply` DESTROYS the helm
|
|
# releases (vpa, goldilocks), the goldilocks-vpa-auto-mode ClusterPolicy, the
|
|
# dashboard ingress, and the vpa namespace. The chart-installed VPA CRDs (Helm
|
|
# keeps CRDs on uninstall) and any leftover VPA/checkpoint CRs are removed
|
|
# post-apply (cascade) via:
|
|
# kubectl delete crd verticalpodautoscalers.autoscaling.k8s.io \

# verticalpodautoscalercheckpoints.autoscaling.k8s.io
