Drop reference to ephemeral storage #464
Conversation
Ephemeral storage is only used for development systems and is not intended or supported for production deployments. Drop reference to ephemeral storage as it should not be used. Closes: rhbz#2189670
| {Project} ({ProjectShort}) does not include storage backends and alerting tools. {ProjectShort} uses community operators to deploy Prometheus, Alertmanager, Grafana, and Elasticsearch. {ProjectShort} makes requests to these community operators to create instances of each application configured to work with {ProjectShort}. | ||

| Instead of having Service Telemetry Operator create custom resource requests, you can use your own deployments of these applications or other compatible applications, and scrape the metrics Smart Gateways for delivery to your own Prometheus-compatible system for telemetry storage. If you set the observability strategy to use alternative backends instead, persistent or ephemeral storage is not required for {ProjectShort}. | ||

"If you set the observability strategy to use alternative backends instead, persistent storage is not required for STF"
This sentence is bothering me a bit. While it's true that in STF 1.5 you can set observability_strategy: none and we won't provision any PVs, in upcoming versions we expect the options to be "none", "use_redhat", "use_community", or "use_hybrid".
Maybe "If you set the observability strategy not to deploy any backends, persistent storage is not required for STF", which almost seems too obvious to say.
WDYT?

Yea I'm ok with that. I think that sentence is really old at this point, so is probably a bit awkward at the very least. Let me see how your change looks in context, but it feels correct at least :)
