  2. As an Aiven User
    I want to lower the service storage to a value below the plan default
    so that I can better adapt my resource utilisation to my workload for services that don't require as much storage

  3. As a cloud engineer, I want to be able to specify the Aiven plan to my specifications, including the specific instance type, sizing, and other aspects relevant to the cloud I am running on so that I can optimize my spend and commitments with the cloud provider In addition, to meeting commitments I have made to the cloud provider.

    Ideally, turnaround would be much faster than today, where I typically wait 1 week or more to get a custom plan implemented.

  4. As DBA I want:
    To control which alert emails I want to receive (high CPU usage, many shards per GB, tables without primary keys, etc) per project;
    To have an email subject with the alert type instead of the generic name;
    To be able to set different thresholds of the alerts (ex: CPU higher than X%);
    Set a Snooze/outage window for a specific period;
    Have a status page with all the alerts and each status (OK, NOK, etc...).

  5. As Head of SRE & Cloud Technology
    I want to have configurable thresholds
    so that I can configure when new storage will be added to the database
    In addition, this request is mainly because we partially have big databases with X TB of storage. If you have a database with e.g. 4 TB of storage, the current threshold of 85% is at 3.4 TB. So you are paying 600GB of storage without actually using them.

    I totally understand that this threshold makes sense for smaller databases. But with a certain size, it's too expensive.

  6. As an Organization administrator
    I want to be able to create and define my own roles
    so that I can specify as granular as possible what users with that roles can or can not do.

    For example:
    - I want to create a new role dedicated to manage and view only billing related information which is used for members of the finance department.
    - I want to create a new role dedicated to manage users and groups which is used by members of the IT department.

  8. Users would like to use the private DNS feature with their PrivateLink endpoint connections, as shown in the error below.

    Error Message:
    There was an error modifying private DNS names Private DNS can't be enabled because the service com.amazonaws.vpce.us-east-1.vpce-svc-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx does not provide a private DNS name.

  12. As a database administrator
    I want to be able to adjust my backup retention time
    so that I can meet my data retention and/or compliance requirements.

  13. As a developer or service administrator
    I want to be able to rename Aiven services after creation
    so that I can recover from typos or adjust the service name when the purpose of the service changes.

    In addition, renaming services would be useful to in during the disaster recovery process where a service is forked from a backup. Once the service is restored, I would like to rename the forked service to what it previously was in production.

  14. As a customer, I want system service notifications to be provided through alternative mechanisms, e.g., webhooks, API, console notifications, etc., as the current system of email notifications often go unnoticed or get caught in spam filters, and we are caught unprepared.

  15. As a user
    I want to create new projects
    so that I can organize my services

    Currently, the Aiven platform requires the project name to be unique across the entire Aiven platform and all its users. This can lead to an extremely frustrating user experience because the user has no clue what would project name might not have already been taken.

    Project names should simply be unique per organization, at least as perceived by the user. Namespacing projects to the organization would be the obvious solution but another option might be to have separate project names and project IDs. The…

  16. As an Aiven user,
    I want to have the ability to whitelist an IP address for a limited time, eg. in hours, so that I can access the database only within this specified window. The whitelist should automatically update once that time is up.
    This would give database access only when needed, and would be beneficial for both network efficiency and security as the whitelist is kept as small as possible, thus also reducing potential attack surface.

  18. As an Aiven Administrator
    I want to have an automated way to know when a user's ssl certificates enter their expiration grace period (last 3 months)
    so that I can update the values stored in, say, AWS SecretsManager
    A simple method would be to provide an api that shows the expiration dates for each user (as per the data file available to the Console) so that I could poll once per month, say, and update any certificates in the grace period and use the current acknowledgement api to complete the task.

  19. As DBA, I want to be able to define a schedule to shutdown and turn on services automatically so that I can save costs on non-production environments.
    Example:
    at 19:00 Monday to Friday power off the instance
    at 06:00 Monday to Friday power on the instance

    I will leave this open to see if we get more votes over the next 6 months. This can be accomplished easily with a simple shell script and Aiven CLI with a cron job for example:


    0 19 * * 1-5 /path/to/shutdown.sh  # Shutdown at 7:00 PM (19:00), Monday-Friday 0 6 * * 1-5 /path/to/startup.sh   # Startup at 6:00 AM (06:00), Monday-Friday


    #!/bin/bash


    # Replace with your Aiven project and service names

    PROJECT_NAME="your-project-name"

    SERVICE_NAME="your-service-name"


    aiven service stop/start $PROJECT_NAME $SERVICE_NAME



  20. In order to streamline and automate the deployment of ClickHouse services, it requires the Aiven Operator for Kubernetes to be able to create roles and set them for users
