Disable warning message of ACE ephemeral storage if it has been configured intentionally

HI App Connect - could you consider this one please? Happy to chat about the use case if you need to.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for coming back on this one. From our chat it looks like your use case is:

"When I create an App Connect Dashboard, I'm storing my BAR files elsewhere (Or building images with them in) therefore I don't want/need the BAR store functionalilty and the associated storage. Coud 'provision the BAR store (with storage) be made optional?"

Passing this to the App Connect team for appropriate consideration. (I've changed the status back to 'Submitted' so that it shows up in their feed at the correct place)

Hi Andy,

Thanks a lot reaching out to me!

1. Until now I only saw such a warning message as of the configuration for ephemeral storage or therefore I would be good to be only able to configure those. Anyhow you will know better whether there could be more warnings emitted by intented configuration changes.

2. If this warning status is displayed within CP4I platform navigator and additionally even reported to kubernetes, I prefer to disable both functionalities at the same time.

Kind regards
Jan

Thanks for raising this - a couple of questions:

1. Is this purely around the warnings for ephemeral storage - or does it apply to any other warnings in particular?
2. Is this relevant just in the CP4I platform navigator - or is it needed in the statuses reported to kubernetes by the Custom Resource itself?

Implementing the option to disable the warning message for intentional configurations of ephemeral storage in ACE is a valuable addition for several reasons:

1. User Control: It empowers users by giving them control over their environment. Users who are aware of the implications of using ephemeral storage and have chosen it deliberately should have the option to suppress warnings that are not relevant to their use case.

2. Clarity: The warning message is intended to alert users of potential risks, but when the configuration is intentional, the message can become noise that clutters the interface. Disabling it can lead to a cleaner, more focused user experience.

3. Efficiency: For experienced users, constantly dismissing or ignoring this warning can be a nuisance and a waste of time. The ability to disable the warning can streamline their workflow, allowing them to focus on more critical tasks.

4. Customization: It aligns with the principle of customizable user interfaces, where users can tailor the system to meet their specific needs and preferences, enhancing overall satisfaction with the product.

5. Best Practices: It encourages users to make informed decisions about their configurations. By providing the option to disable the warning, it implicitly prompts users to learn more about ephemeral storage and assess whether it is the right choice for their scenario.

Overall, this feature would enhance the user experience for those who have a clear understanding of their storage needs and have intentionally chosen ephemeral storage for its benefits. It's a step towards a more personalized and efficient integration environment.

This is actually a great idea! Since those warning messages sometimes can be interpreted as an error by our monitoring system.
