Description

Description

Enable Tier-2 quorum HA under highAvailability.profile: production:

  • NATS: 3 replicas, JetStream RF=2, one pod per node
  • OpenBao: HA Raft 3 servers; injector stays at 2
  • Cassandra: 3 nodes, one per node; multi-AZ uses NetworkTopologyStrategy + LOCAL_QUORUM; single-DC keeps RF=3 + QUORUM
    Dedicated node pools (cassandra, vault, control-plane) must remain usable with capacity in both AZs when global.nodeSelectors.enabled: true.

Definition of Done

  • Production HA profile configures NATS 3 + JetStream RF=2
  • OpenBao server HA replicas = 3; injector remains 2
  • Cassandra replicaCount = 3 with PDBs appropriate for production
  • Multi-AZ Cassandra path documents/configures LOCAL_QUORUM + NetworkTopologyStrategy; single-DC keeps QUORUM
  • Tier-2 peers are not scheduled on the same node (anti-affinity)
  • single-node profile does not require 3-node quorum placement
