Docs: Zone-aware replication within single AZ
Is your documentation request related to a feature? If so, which one?
https://grafana.com/docs/mimir/latest/configure/configure-zone-aware-replication/
What is the solution that you would like or the expected outcome?
To know the way to have RF = 2 with Single AZ
What did you think would happen?
I would like to know is there a way to make 2 ingesters per partition with single AZ in Mimir 3.0? Doc worded like you have to have more than one AZ to 2 ingesters per partition, but in my case I have only one cluster. Maybe doc should be updated if there is a way to deploy in Single AZ if it is possible?
Mimir "zones" don't need to correspond to cloud provider availability zones. They can be used when running in a single cloud provider AZ which is indeed how we ran Mimir at Grafana for a while.
Depending on the underlying infrastructure that Grafana Mimir is deployed on, zones could be, for example,
- Availability zones
- Data centers
- Racks
- Anti-affinity groups within a single availability zone
Does that clarify things?
@56quarters thanks for response! Does it mean that to have 2 replicas per partition I need to label nodes to imitate zone-awareness? No way to make RF = 2 without enabling zone-awareness replication?
