  2. As an IT manager
    I want to add a new user to a group at the time of inviting them
    so that I can do a single action and not have to wait for them to setup an account.

    Our current process of adding a new user takes 3 steps.
    1. Invite by IT manager
    2. User setups an account
    3. They are adding to the group by IT manager

  3. 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.

  4. As a developer I want to see and query data in PostgreSQL directly in the Aiven console so that I can access and use my data without needing to setup another tool.

  5. In order to limit connections to only users on-site or on VPN, a customer has created a reverse proxy and allowed only the proxy's outbound IP address to access the service.

    However, when a user authenticates via Azure OIDC, they are sent directly to the Aiven service rather than to the reverse proxy that would filter these connections.

    This ask is to allow customizing the OIDC Redirect URL, so a different destination (such as a proxy) can be specified as the landing point for an authenticated user.

  6. Services and Projects have a hard limit of 10 tags.

    This limit is too low for some automation and monitoring, where multiple tags for ownership and governance may be required.

  7. As Head of SRE & Cloud Technology
    I want that the setting for additional storage is taken over when you fork some service
    so that I can fork instances without having the base backup failing because of missing storage.

    Use case:
    we forked on our postgres services and during the build of the new instance it just complaint about full disk because the setting for additional storage was just not taken over. because there was no backup yet, we were also not able to add storage "on the fly". So we had to delete the service and start again.

  8. As a cloud architect, team lead or CISO
    I want to restrict the clouds and regions in which data services can be spinned up
    so that I can account for compliance risks, optimize costs and improve latency between data services and applications.

  9. Users should be able to choose between IPV4 and IPV6 addressing while creating a VPC. We would most likely need a "dual-stack" approach where both addressing configurations are supported.

  10. 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



  11. As a user, I would like to have more granular details on what is included in updates and get an estimation on how long the maintenance period would be on my service and what would be the impact, if any temporary scale up of service is required during maintenance update

  13. The current console is not designed for mobile users but it would be beneficial for our customers to make some improvements. During long upgrades outside of working hours they would like to check the progress of their upgrades from their phones. It would be great to be able to turn off the side bar and also zoom in .

  14. Customers with highly sensitive data are not able to bring their data onto public cloud (esp European customers are not willing to have their data on US based cloud providers). Aiven providing BYOC model on private clouds covers the needs of this market segment.

  18. As a Platform Engineer
    I want this ability to create application users on project level rather than organization level, so that i can avoid them to be part of other projects. In addition, i want to restrict them to a project in such a way that they cannot be added to other projects.

  19. As an Aiven Operator user
    I would like to specify multiple ServiceUsers, Databases, ConnectionPools same Kubernetes namespace using the same Aiven-name
    So I can for example duplicate a database service but still continue having the same database name and user names for the new service.

    I'd propose to have some under spec that could be used to use as the actual database name or username in place of the metadata.name. Something like Database.spec.databaseName and ServiceUser.spec.userName. Maybe the metadata.name could still be used if the other field is not specified, but specifying it under spec would overwrite what's in metadata. Or…

  20. As Aiven customer,
    We are experiencing difficulties configuring the IAM principles while setting up Aiven private link services due to the dynamic nature of our AWS accounts. Specifically, we would like to know if it's possible to use a wildcard (*) in place of specifying individual AWS account IDs, as managing the access control for multiple dynamic accounts is becoming complex.
