Running PostgreSQL in Kubernetes with CloudNativePG
Danish, Jonathan

In this hands-on, 3-hour workshop, participants will learn how to deploy and manage PostgreSQL in Kubernetes using CloudNativePG (CNPG), the open source operator in the CNCF sandbox. The workshop will walk through the main features to manage a PostgreSQL cluster, from deploying the first CNPG cluster to managing configuration, databases, and roles in a declarative way, to enabling continuous backups for recovery from a disaster.

Attendees will manage the PostgreSQL cluster by applying the changes from the YAML manifest definition, demonstrating the declarative nature of the Operator. We will cover basic DBA managements, from DB initialization, to declarative SQL execution and DB import from other PG source, to reading the aggregated logs for investigation. Moreover we will show the benefits of using the CNPG operator for taking and restoring backups, and for its self-healing capabilities in case of incidents. This session is ideal for DevOps engineers, DBAs, and developers looking to operationalize PostgreSQL in Kubernetes.
