# Postgres Operator

![Tests](https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/workflows/operator-tests/badge.svg)
![E2E Tests](https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator/workflows/operator-e2e-tests/badge.svg)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/zalando/postgres-operator/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/zalando/postgres-operator?branch=master)

The Postgres Operator delivers an easy to run highly-available [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/)
clusters on Kubernetes (K8s) powered by [Patroni](https://github.com/zalando/patroni).
It is configured only through Postgres manifests (CRDs) to ease integration into automated CI/CD
pipelines with no access to Kubernetes API directly, promoting infrastructure as code vs manual operations.

### Operator features

* Live volume resize without pod restarts (AWS EBS, PVC)
* Database connection pooling with PGBouncer
* Support fast in place major version upgrade. Supports global upgrade of all clusters.
* Restore and cloning Postgres clusters on AWS, GCS and Azure
* Additionally logical backups to S3 or GCS bucket can be configured
* Standby cluster from S3 or GCS WAL archive
* Configurable for non-cloud environments
* Basic credential and user management on K8s, eases application deployments
* Support for custom TLS certificates
* UI to create and edit Postgres cluster manifests
* Compatible with OpenShift
