[Release 0.8.3]

Added

• Added the option to use PersistentVolume as non-stable storage for etcd pods. This feature is still alpha and subject to change in future releases #1861

Changed

• Changed etcd pod member names to be unique by having a random suffix instead of a sequence number. This change is backward compatible and should not affect operator upgrade. Previously the etcd pod names would look like:

  NAME                            READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
  example-etcd-cluster-0000       1/1       Running   0          1m
  example-etcd-cluster-0001       1/1       Running   0          1m
  example-etcd-cluster-0002       1/1       Running   0          1m
  

  After this change:

  NAME                                  READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
  example-etcd-cluster-2885zjw9he       1/1       Running   0          1m
  example-etcd-cluster-gghrmbeid4       1/1       Running   0          1m
  example-etcd-cluster-w5q9sn37fd       1/1       Running   0          1m
  

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where the restore operator would fail to restore the seed member because recreating an etcd pod with the same name as a recently deleted one would conflict as the older pod and its resources, like the DNS name, might still not be deleted. #1825
