Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes: Your Virtual DBA
Wednesday, October 23 at 15:00–15:50
In organisations where everything’s running on Kubernetes, the PostgreSQL databases are often seen as just another part of the landscape. The platform engineers or systems administrators find themselves charged with “looking after the databases” even if they don’t have database expertise. Fortunately, if you find yourself in this situation, there’s no need to panic! Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes (CPK) can act as your virtual DBA, automating everything from deployment of a high availability database environment, to backup & recovery, monitoring, and even PostgreSQL major version upgrades. CPK is created and maintained by PostgreSQL experts, and is based on PGO, the Postgres Operator for Kubernetes from Crunchy Data. The Operator knows how to do database administration tasks, and also how the various database components interact with Kubernetes, so it can get the most out of the platform.
