Cloud Native PostgreSQL
Kubernetes Operator and container images
EDB Cloud Native PostgreSQL includes database container images and a Kubernetes Operator that manage the lifecycle of a database from deployment to operations.
Deploy anywhere
Lightweight, immutable PostgreSQL containers
Automate DBA tasks
Failover, switchover, backup, recovery, and rolling updates
Avoid lock-in
Operator and images are portable to any cloud
Get to market faster with the right architecture
Use Cloud Native PostgreSQL Operator to deploy PostgreSQL or EDB Postgres Advanced Server to any hybrid/multi-cloud environment. Development and DevOps teams can each have their own database and use our container images to expedite software delivery across test, staging, and production.
Key features include:
- Kubernetes API integration for high availability
- Self-healing through failover and automated recreation of replicas
- Capacity management with scale up/down capabilities
- Planned switchovers for scheduled maintenance
- Read-only and read-write Kubernetes services definitions
- Rolling updates for PostgreSQL minor versions and operator upgrades
- TLS connections and client certificate authentication
- Support for synchronous and asynchronous replication
- Continuous backup and point-in-time recovery
Why EDB?
Cloud Native PostgreSQL was built from the ground up with cloud-native principles in mind, relying exclusively on the Kubernetes API, allowing you to manage deployment, high availability, and automated failover from Kubernetes—and Kubernetes only. The EDB operator performs all of the database lifecycle tasks previously handled by an operational DBA.
