Adjust Reference Architecture Cloud Native Webservice and NGinx guidance

Grant Young requested to merge gy-update-ref-arch-cnh-webservice-sizings into master

What does this MR do?

MR adjusts the Cloud Native Hybrid Reference Architecture Webservice sizings, primarily for GCP, to allow for more memory headroom long term. It also adjusts the focus to be on total node pool sizes, to highlight customers can use different pool sizes as desired. The adjustment allows for alignment with AWS sizings, which have not changed.

It also adjusts guidance for the NGinx controller pods to deploy them across the Webservice nodes as a DaemonSet for better scalability.

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
