feat: add comprehensive multi-zone StatefulSet distribution for zone failure protection
Adds comprehensive multi-zone pod distribution to prevent StatefulSet quorum
loss during zone failures in AKS, EKS, and GKE clusters. Extends coverage to
all 7 critical StatefulSet workloads with automatic zone detection and
configurable nodepool labeling.
Features:
StatefulSets covered:
Changes:
Transformers added:
Configuration variables (12 total):
Technical Implementation:
and agentpool labels)
Chaos Testing & Validation:
Multi-Zone Distribution Results:
Known Limitation (by design):
During complete zone failure, affected StatefulSet pods cannot reschedule to
remaining zones due to strict maxSkew: 1 enforcement. Pods remain Pending
until the zone recovers. This is intentional to prioritize prevention of
zone concentration during normal operations (primary PSCLOUD-64 objective).
Alternative options documented:
Documentation updates:
Benefits:
Resolves: PSCLOUD-64 - Cross nodepool stateful pods ending up in same zone
Supports: AKS, EKS, GKE multi-zone and single-zone deployments
Tested: Azure AKS 3-zone cluster (centralus-1, centralus-2, centralus-3)
Backward compatible: Works with existing deployments without configuration changes
