This is awesome!
Thank you Shawn!
Here are the results of a test I ran today. 4 providers, each on their
own distro:
slapd 1. Centos7 el7
slapd 2. AlmaLinux8 el8
slapd 3. Ubuntu20.04 focal
slapd 4. Debian10 buster
All using using 2.6.1-2 packages, from our testing repo.
Pumped several hundred thousand entries into the cluster, via the
openldap load balancer. As expected, no problems found.
The machines all behave the same and don't care what operating system
the others run.
Which is generally what I'd expect, given LDAP is a protocol. The areas
where there could be issues due to distributions would be things like:
a) Issues that exist in the kernel that affect things like threading
performance
b) Filesystem differences that affect I/O rates
c) sysctl tuning differences for the TCP layer
One area that could cause issues if using cn=config replication and
OpenLDAP binaries that are linked to the system SSL libraries is the
differences between GnuTLS and OpenSSL, as the configurations could be
incompatible. But in the more general case, the underlying distribution
should be immaterial, especially if using something like the packages from
Symas which are consistent in regards to OpenSSL and other support
libraries.
