Percona Operator for PostgreSQL

This helm chart deploys the Kubernetes Operator to manage Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL.

Useful links:

• Operator Github repository
• Operator Documentation

A job will be created based on helm install, upgrade, or uninstall. After the job has completed the RBAC will be cleaned up.

Pre-requisites

• Kubernetes 1.28+
• At least v3.2.3 version of helm

Installation

This chart will deploy the Operator Pod for the further PostgreSQL creation in Kubernetes. NOTE:

The PG Operator v2 is not directly compatible with old v1 so it is advised to always specify `--version`
when installing pg-operator or pg-db charts to not accidentally cause upgrade to v2 if you were using v1
previously.

Installing the chart

helm repo add percona https://percona.github.io/percona-helm-charts/
helm install my-operator percona/pg-operator --version 2.5.0 --namespace my-namespace --create-namespace
