Installation

Percona Operator for PostgreSQL

Release Highlights¶

With this release, the Operator turns to a simplified naming convention and changes its official name to Percona Operator for PostgreSQL
Starting from this release, the Operator automatically generates TLS certificates and turns on encryption by default at cluster creation time. This includes both external certificates which allow users to connect to pgBouncer and PostgreSQL via the encrypted channel, and internal ones used for communication between PostgreSQL cluster nodes
Various cleanups in the deploy/cr.yaml configuration file simplify the deployment of the cluster, making no need in going into YAML manifests and tuning them

Improvements¶

K8SPG-149: It is now possible to explicitly set the version of PostgreSQL for newly provisioned clusters. Before that, all new clusters were started with the latest PostgreSQL version if Version Service was enabled
K8SPG-148: Add possibility of specifying imagePullPolicy option for all images in the Custom Resource of the cluster to run in air-gapped environments
K8SPG-147: Users now can pass additional customizations to pgBackRest with the pgBackRest configuration options provided via ConfigMap
K8SPG-142: Introduce deploy/cr-minimal.yaml configuration file to deploy minimal viable clusters - useful for developers to deploy PostgreSQL on local Kubernetes clusters, such as Minikube
K8SPG-141: YAML manifest cleanup simplifies cluster deployment, reducing it to just two commands
K8SPG-112: Enable automated generation of TLS certificates and provide encryption for all new clusters by default
K8SPG-161: The Operator documentation now has a how-to that covers deploying a standby PostgreSQL cluster on Kubernetes

Bugs Fixed¶

K8SPG-115: Fix the bug that caused creation a “cloned” cluster with pgDataSource to fail due to missing Secrets
K8SPG-163: Fix the security vulnerability CVE-2021-40346 by removing the unused dependency in the Operator images
K8SPG-152: Fix the bug that prevented deploying the Operator in disabled/readonly namespace mode. It is now possible to deploy several operators in different namespaces in the same cluster

Options Changes¶

K8SPG-116: The backrest-restore-from-cluster parameter was renamed to backrest-restore-cluster for clarity in the deploy/backup/restore.yaml file used to restore the cluster from a previously saved backup

Supported platforms¶

The following platforms were tested and are officially supported by the Operator 1.2.0:

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) 1.19 - 1.22
Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) 1.19 - 1.21
OpenShift 4.7 - 4.9

This list only includes the platforms that the Percona Operators are specifically tested on as part of the release process. Other Kubernetes flavors and versions depend on the backward compatibility offered by Kubernetes itself.
