Are you already using PostgreSQL as your database and considering making the leap into the world of Kubernetes? It's a move that numerous companies have been making lately, and the statistics on Kubernetes usage reflect the growing trend. However, when it comes to running a database within Kubernetes, there is a complexity that is not immediately evident.
That's where Kubernetes Operators come into play, offering a simplified way to manage and deploy PostgreSQL database clusters in Kubernetes environments.
Percona is a company that offers open source Kubernetes Operators for databases. Today Percona has exciting news for the open source community, especially for those who use databases! Percona Operator for PostgreSQL version 2.3 is now available!🙌
This last version of Percona Operator for PostgreSQL, comes with significant enhancements and new features. Let´s review some of them them:
Custom PostgreSQL extensions have expanded the range of available built-in extensions, like the notable PostGIS, offering geospatial data storage in PostgreSQL while being disabled by default, but can be easily turned on by those who need it.
The ‘loadBalancerSourceRanges’ Custom Resource option was added, allowing users to customize the range of IP addresses that can access the load balancer.
In line with the commitment to versatility and enterprise needs, the Operator has been made compatible with the OpenShift platform, enabling seamless deployments both on-premise and in the cloud.
Additionally, the Operator to support the latest Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL version 16 was updated and is now used as the default database version.
Are you curious about how operators can help you at this point, or do you have questions? 😃
