  1. We want to have more info to know when a forked service is up and running.
    ex. when testing backup restore, we face some difficulties as not everything is located in a single place (event logs & service logs).
    There is no indication as to when the service is/was ready.
    In the logs, it would be useful to have the different stages: provisioning, restore backup, wal, ready

  2. As a customer, I want the ability to designate non-urgent configuration and service updates to be implemented only during scheduled maintenance windows, so I can limit the risk of updates running outside of these windows, and impacting the availability of production systems.

  3. As IT Administrator
    I want to have Aiven manage the number of static IP addresses I need for my services.
    so that I can not have to deal with it.
    In addition, it would be ideal if when creating a service there was just a flag for "Use Static IPs". This is most notable when using privatelink on Azure, as there are potentially a lot of static IPs to be created.

    Today, you can only manage static IPs via CLI and API. We are adding two things into the Console UI:


    1. Management of static IPs (along with more networking features).
    2. Building of an end-to-end solution at once which will also provision static IPs.


    The second item is prioritized, however the first is not yet.

  4. As a customer who has recently forked an Aiven service, like OpenSearch, I would like to pause the initiation of a backup, so that I can perform any necessary operational tasks before putting the forked service into production.

  5. As an IT Administrator I want to automate the on and off-boarding of users and manage their lifecycle in OneLogin.

    SCIM allows an IT Administrator to provision users and groups automatically to Aiven and keeps them in sync with the identity provider.

  6. As a software engineer who often does infra stuff, I want to fully configure our Aiven vnet peering on Azure using terraform, so that we don't loose knowledge of how our infrastructure is configured and so that we can always tear it down and re-create it.

    Primarily I'm interested in allow_forwarded_traffic but I think ideally exposing all of the following Azure configurations through the aiven_azure_vpc_peering_connection terraform resource would be ideal.
    allow_virtual_network_access
    allow_forwarded_traffic
    allow_gateway_transit
    use_remote_gateways

  7. As an engineer
    I want to see links to release notes of updating software when applying maintenance
    so that I can quickly find out all the changes that are being applied and understand their relevancy to me

    Specifically when using the console I can see links to all release notes, rather than a generic notice that my service is being updated to a specific version.

  8. As a developer, I want to have easy discovery of the API.

    Currently, the OpenAPI is available as a blob link pointing to a specific GUID:
    blob:https://api.aiven.io/6b9e6327-8330-42d5-a813-0cc7379d5e02

    It would be nice if this was available as a consistent URI.
    https://api.aiven.io/v1/schema/

    And if discovery was available by a common RFC:
    RFC 8631 service-desc
    RFC 5988 describedby

  9. As SRE
    I want to have the Aiven Terraform Provider not throw errors on capital letters in plan names,
    so that I can not have weird errors when trying to deploy my services.
    Either forcing the plan name to be lowercase behind the scenes or throwing an error message that makes the issue clear would be helpful.

  10. As an account administrator signing up for Aiven,
    I want to register key individuals as business contacts for my account along with key technical contacts for the account,
    so that I can properly direct different people in my business to the right function for outreach. For example, I would like to register key account contact, key financial/billing contacts, key security contacts, etc. along with key technical contacts for where to reach out for escalation.
    I would like to provide this during sign up to Aiven or fill in/modify after the account has been established.

  11. As a devops
    I want to receive events from my projects (activity feed)
    so that I can know in real time if a service has been created/deleted/updated/stopped/started on my project
    In addition, I would like to be able to send this event to a kafka topic for example.

  12. As an SRE, I want to integrate DataDog easily to capture Aiven Platform logs so that I can get all of my observability data into my standard tool of choice and setup auditing and alerting. In addition, I would like to do so with the standard DataDog setup using OAuth and a tile from DataDog versus manually configuring both tools.

    https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/integrations/oauth_for_integrations/ vs https://aiven.io/docs/integrations/datadog/datadog-logs which is the current setup

  13. 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



  14. As a platform engineer who is running shared services, I want to be able to provision, monitor, and manage my Aiven services from Backstage... So that I can have a fully integrated developer portal to make my engineering teams more successful at self-serving to make them more efficient.

    In addition:
    As a developer, I want to quickly discover and explore existing Aiven services within Backstage to avoid duplicating data infrastructure and accelerate my development work.

    As a developer, I want to have clear visibility into the status and health of Aiven services my applications depend on, directly within Backstage.

  15. As an SRE or DBA, I want to be able to see the SLA of my services so that I can understand how well the service can provide the business needs we have for managed services. This allows me to report back on the quality of the Aiven services and hold Aiven accountable for the agreement. Ideally, if this were in my console, it could roll up the overall SLA of our Aiven services across the account.

  17. As Aiven Admin
    I want my users to be able to sign in using a passwordless method with SAML SSO (we use Azure),
    so that our users don't need to switch between authentication methods.

  19. As an infra engr I want to be able to change the setting of default row count from 500 to 10000.

    I can't see the "discover:sampleSize" in the Pulumi Aiven or Terraform documentation.

  20. As an existing Aiven customer
    I want to pay via a marketplace subscription
    so that I can recognise spend against my hyperscaler commitment and simplify my procurement processes
    In addition, this is currently a manual process and involves coordinating steps between the customer, Aiven Sales team, and Aiven Ops team. I would like to self-serve this capability.

    We are working on making the Marketplaces payment methods in the Aiven tenant rather than being separate tenants!
