Benefits
- PostgreSQL on Kubernetes help to utilize resources better than virtual machines.
- Provide isolation from other apps deployed on the same machine.
- PostgreSQL running on Kubernetes must be able to meet particular business requirements outlined below in order to meet compliance, security, availability, and performance demands of mission-critical applications.
- Container Native Storage
- Performance & SLA Considerations
- Cloud Migrations and Disaster Recovery
- Data Security
What are the needs?
- PostgreSQL Docker Image
- Config Maps for storing PostgreSQL configurations
- Persistent Storage Volume
- PostgreSQL Deployment
- PostgreSQL Service
Usage Scenario
- Local market regulation– which does not allow you to go for public cloud which falls under quick changes
- Infrastructure Business – Data center provider on a specific market
- Avoiding dependency – geopolitical reasons, market competition – those will be niche cases).
- Kuberenetes builds on the shoulders of giants such as Google who initially conceived the software after using similar technology to run production workloads for over a decade.
