CloudNativePG
=============

-  **CloudNativePG** is an open source `operator <https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/operator/>`_ 

designed to manage `PostgreSQL <https://www.postgresql.org/>`_  workloads on any supported
 `Kubernetes <https://kubernetes.io>`_  cluster running in private, public, hybrid, or multi-cloud
environments. CloudNativePG adheres to DevOps principles and concepts
such as declarative configuration and immutable infrastructure.

It defines a new Kubernetes resource called ``Cluster`` representing a
PostgreSQL cluster made up of a single primary and an optional number of
replicas that co-exist in a chosen Kubernetes namespace for High
Availability and offloading of read-only queries.

Applications that reside in the same Kubernetes cluster can access the
PostgreSQL database using a service which is solely managed by the
operator, without having to worry about changes of the primary role
following a failover or a switchover. Applications that reside outside
the Kubernetes cluster, need to configure a Service or Ingress object to
expose the Postgres via TCP. Web applications can take advantage of the
native connection pooler based on PgBouncer.

CloudNativePG was originally built by `EDB <https://www.enterprisedb.com>`_  , then released open
source under Apache License 2.0 and submitted for CNCF Sandbox in April
2022. The `source code repository is in Github <https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg>`_  .
