Percona Operator for PostgreSQL automates and simplifies deploying and managing open source PostgreSQL clusters on Kubernetes. It is based on Postgres Operator developed by Crunchy Data.
Whether you need to get a simple PostgreSQL cluster up and running, need to deploy a high availability, fault tolerant cluster in production, or are running your own database-as-a-service, the Operator provides the essential features you need to keep your clusters healthy:
- PostgreSQL cluster provisioning
- High availability and disaster recovery
- Automated user management with password rotation
- Automated updates
- Support for both asynchronous and synchronous replication
- Scheduled and manual backups
- Integrated monitoring with Percona Monitoring and Management
While the Percona Operator is primarily managed through the command line, you can also use Percona Everest for a web-based user interface. This open-source tool provides a streamlined experience for provisioning and managing your databases, simplifying day-to-day tasks and reducing administrative overhead. Learn more about Percona Everest in the documentation or jump right in with the quickstart guide.
Percona Operators are based on the Operator SDK and leverage Kubernetes primitives to follow best CNCF practices.
