Percona Operator for PostgreSQL automates and simplifies deploying and managing open source PostgreSQL clusters on Kubernetes. Percona Operator for PostgreSQL is based on Postgres Operator developed by Crunchy Data.
Whether you need to get a simple PostgreSQL cluster up and running, need to deploy a high availability, fault tolerant cluster in production, or are running your own database-as-a-service, the Operator provides the essential features you need to keep your clusters healthy:
- PostgreSQL cluster provisioning
- High availability and disaster recovery
- Automated user management with password rotation
- Automated updates
- Support for both asynchronous and synchronous replication
- Scheduled and manual backups
- Integrated monitoring with Percona Monitoring and Management
You interact with Percona Operator mostly via the command line tool. If you feel more comfortable with operating the Operator and database clusters via the web interface, there is Percona Everest - an open-source web-based database provisioning tool available for you. It automates day-to-day database management operations for you, reducing the overall administrative overhead. Get started with Percona Everest.
Percona Operators are based on the Operator SDK and leverage Kubernetes primitives to follow best CNCF practices.

Below is one of the ways to deploy the Operator using kubectl.
- Deploy the operator from
deploy/bundle.yaml
kubectl apply --server-side -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/percona/percona-postgresql-operator/main/deploy/bundle.yaml- Deploy the database cluster itself from
deploy/cr.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/percona/percona-postgresql-operator/main/deploy/cr.yamlPercona welcomes and encourages community contributions to help improve Percona Operator for PostgreSQL.
