[Enhancement]: Support additionalVolumes about strimzi-kafka-operator HOT 5 CLOSED

There is a lot of operators which support additionalVolumes. I would probably do something similar to OpenSearch:
https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-k8s-operator/blob/main/charts/opensearch-cluster/templates/opensearch-cluster-cr.yaml#L69 if accepted.

This should be closed as a duplicate of #3693.

In general, this requires a proposal (https://github.com/strimzi/proposals). If you are interested in contributing this feature, that would be welcome - writing the proposal would be the first step. I think the preferred solution from the Strimzi side is to use the existing Pod and Container templates and configure the additional volumes / volume mount points there.

@scholzj I don't mind closing this. I also agree on adding to the existing pod and container templates, but do you want a proposal before i prepare a PR?

from strimzi-kafka-operator.

Yes, this is a major enhancement with API impact. So this should have a proposal written and approved first.

Of course, if you want to write a prototype implementation to accompany the proposal (to for example make sure it is feasible or when you want to run the Strimzi system tests), it is fine to have a Draft PR for it and we can for example run the System Tests on it. But it will not be merged/fully reviewed before the proposal is approved (and having the prototype PR does not guarantee in any way that the proposal will be accepted of course).

(But just to be clear, you are not required to have any kind of prototype implementation to open the proposal. From my own experience, sometimes it helps to write the proposal as you better understand what is needed. But for other proposals it is not really much helpful. So it depends a lot.)

Thanks for the feedback. I will close this and work on a proposal + a draft PR.
