Hi. Thanks for jumping in @DerekStrickland.
Using open source version. Any particular limitation of the OSS version versus Enterprise which you see as relevant for this type of scenario?
I did look into that setting, as I reviewed it also for Vault using integrated Raft, and thought the default was good enough. There may be situations where local network hiccups may cause delays beyond these timeouts, but I don’t foresee it happening in more than two locations at the same time (hence the 5 nodes). Let’s see how it behaves. I’ll also put in place monitoring for the telemetry leadership metrics.
One thing I was wondering too was if Consul has hard-coded settings based on the type of subnets of the IPv4 addressing. In other words, if it would handle things differently depending on wether the agent address is “IANA private” or not.
Regards.
