CPO (CYBERTEC PG Operator) allows you to create and run PostgreSQL clusters on Kubernetes.
The operator reduces your efforts and simplifies the administration of your PostgreSQL clusters so that you can concentrate on other things.
The Postgres Operator delivers an easy to run highly-available PostgreSQL clusters on Kubernetes (K8s) powered by 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.
