Suspend Reconciliation

Suspended state

When a resource is suspended, all operations performed by the operator are disabled, including but not limited to:

• Provisioning

• Upgrades

• Volume resize

• Galera cluster recovery

More specifically, the reconciliation loop of the operator is omitted, anything part of it will not happen while the resource is suspended. This could be useful in maintenance scenarios, where manual operations need to be performed, as it helps prevent conflicts with the operator.

Currently, only MariaDB and MaxScale resources support suspension. You can enable it by setting suspend=true:

This results in the reconciliation loop being disabled and the status being marked as Suspended:

To re-enable it, simply remove the suspend setting or set it to suspend=false.
