is it possible to run a read only FlyteAdmin replica (i.e drop all write requests, do not schedule runs) without patching the server?

flyteadmin is stateless, so you can start two flyteadmins in the same time. why do you need to drop write requests in other admin servers?

at the service level it is not possible, you can make database have readonly replicas

Will there be issues with the scheduler with multiple FlyteAdmin replicas (i.e schedulers adding duplicate work to be performed)?

We want everyone in the team to be able to view the dashboards but only on-callers or specific users to have write access (such as scheduling a workflow, triggering an ad-hoc workflow run, etc). Essentially, a coarse version of RBAC

hmm scheduler can be run as a standalone service

yeah, a cheap RBAC is what I am trying to do with read replicas 😅 I want to run multiple instances for fault tolerance (we looked into union.ai/cloud but we could not find the pricing info so decided to look into at a later time)

No worries
