Description of problem: Currently there is no option to turn off rollbackcopy sidecar container, which periodically takes snapshots of the etcd database and writes to disk. The action of snapshotting state itself is mostly non blocking but its a major I/O event. When the database is huge (in Gbs), writing the huge data to the disk can impact other disk operations, and results in fsync delays in etcd metrics. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: All 4.4 and 4.5 have a sidecar implementation of periodic rollbackcopy Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 4.5 2. On leader node, notice snapshots being taken hourly into /etc/kubernetes/rollbackcopy directory Actual results: Snapshots are generated every hour on the leader node. Expected results: With option to turn off, the snapshots are no longer generated. Additional info:
