  2. 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 DBA
    I want to be able to choose a custom service port
    so that I can migrate databases to Aiven without changing the port in the applications connection string.
    In addition, this would help to avoid issues with the migration because of wrong ports.

    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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  9. 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 .

  10. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Allow for greater maintenance schedule flexibility.

    As a customer, I want to schedule maintenance to my services with a fixed calendar schedule rather then a weekly schedule. This is because I am required to only apply maintenance to my systems based on contracted schedules with my end customers. For example, I want to be able to schedule maintenance to occur on the 20th of each month. Or every 3rd Friday of the month between a certain window of time.

  17. 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
    https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/virtual_network_peering#allow_virtual_network_access

  18. As DevOps Engineer
    I want to add new custom query to datadog database monitoring
    so that I can monitor custom metric that based on custom query that datadog does not send by default.
    In addition, I would like to provide some documentation regarding of running custom queries on datadog
    https://docs.datadoghq.com/database_monitoring/setup_postgres/selfhosted/?tab=postgres15#running-custom-queries

    This is quite important for us so we could remove any custom implementation to get custom metric via custom query.

  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. As an Aiven customer with a verified domain, and therefore the ability to reset my users' credentials, I would like to be able to disable self-service password reset for my users. This is to support internal policies that users' passwords can only be reset by our helpdesk.
