You can choose a different backing mechanism. K3s permits for a mysql connection instead of etcd, but if the responses aren't under the expected time you're gonna have the same problem.

Mysql can be external to the cluster

I think an engineer told me as a general rule the responses should be < 2ms and after 15 ms you start to see problems (we were on spinners too and ours were like 200 ms)

Thanks for response. I'm going to tune up etcd and see if it helps. If not then I'm going to move etcd to a separate machines - maybe it will help. Moving it to mysql or postgresql doesn't seem a good idea - but we will see - maybe there won't be a choice 😞
