There are two mutually-exclusive methods to set the Postgres Operator configuration.
- ConfigMaps-based, the legacy one
- CRD-based configuration
Variable names are underscore-separated words.
The configuration is supplied in a
key-value configmap, defined by the CONFIG_MAP_NAME
environment variable.
Non-scalar values, i.e. lists or maps, are encoded in the value strings using
the comma-based syntax for lists and coma-separated key:value
syntax for
maps. String values containing ':' should be enclosed in quotes. The
configuration is flat, parameter group names below are not reflected in the
configuration structure. There is an
example
For the configmap configuration, the default parameter values mentioned here are likely to be overwritten in your local operator installation via your local version of the operator configmap. In the case you use the operator CRD, all the CRD defaults are provided in the operator's default configuration manifest
The configuration is stored in a custom YAML
manifest. The manifest is an instance of the custom resource definition (CRD)
called OperatorConfiguration
. The operator registers this CRD during the
start and uses it for configuration if the operator deployment manifest
sets the POSTGRES_OPERATOR_CONFIGURATION_OBJECT
env variable to a non-empty
value. The variable should point to the postgresql-operator-configuration
object in the operator's namespace.
The CRD-based configuration is a regular YAML document; non-scalar keys are simply represented in the usual YAML way. There are no default values built-in in the operator, each parameter that is not supplied in the configuration receives an empty value. In order to create your own configuration just copy the default one and change it.
To test the CRD-based configuration locally, use the following
kubectl create -f manifests/operatorconfiguration.crd.yaml # registers the CRD
kubectl create -f manifests/postgresql-operator-default-configuration.yaml
kubectl create -f manifests/operator-service-account-rbac.yaml
kubectl create -f manifests/postgres-operator.yaml # set the env var as mentioned above
kubectl get operatorconfigurations postgresql-operator-default-configuration -o yaml
The CRD-based configuration is more powerful than the one based on ConfigMaps and should be used unless there is a compatibility requirement to use an already existing configuration. Even in that case, it should be rather straightforward to convert the ConfigMap-based configuration into the CRD-based one and restart the operator. The ConfigMap-based configuration will be deprecated and subsequently removed in future releases.
Note that for the CRD-based configuration groups of configuration options below
correspond to the non-leaf keys in the target YAML (i.e. for the Kubernetes
resources the key is kubernetes
). The key is mentioned alongside the group
description. The ConfigMap-based configuration is flat and does not allow
non-leaf keys.
Since in the CRD-based case the operator needs to create a CRD first, which is
controlled by the resource_check_interval
and resource_check_timeout
parameters, those parameters have no effect and are replaced by the
CRD_READY_WAIT_INTERVAL
and CRD_READY_WAIT_TIMEOUT
environment variables.
They will be deprecated and removed in the future.
Those are top-level keys, containing both leaf keys and groups.
-
enable_crd_registration Instruct the operator to create/update the CRDs. If disabled the operator will rely on the CRDs being managed separately. The default is
true
. -
enable_crd_validation deprecated: toggles if the operator will create or update CRDs with OpenAPI v3 schema validation The default is
true
.false
will be ignored, sinceapiextensions.io/v1
requires a structural schema definition. -
crd_categories The operator will register CRDs in the
all
category by default so that they will be returned by akubectl get all
call. You are free to change categories or leave them empty. -
enable_lazy_spilo_upgrade Instruct operator to update only the statefulsets with new images (Spilo and InitContainers) without immediately doing the rolling update. The assumption is pods will be re-started later with new images, for example due to the node rotation. The default is
false
. -
enable_pgversion_env_var With newer versions of Spilo, it is preferable to use
PGVERSION
pod environment variable instead of the settingpostgresql.bin_dir
in theSPILO_CONFIGURATION
env variable. When this option is true, the operator setsPGVERSION
and omitspostgresql.bin_dir
fromSPILO_CONFIGURATION
. When false, thepostgresql.bin_dir
is set. This setting takes precedence overPGVERSION
; see PR 222 in Spilo. The default istrue
. -
enable_spilo_wal_path_compat enables backwards compatible path between Spilo 12 and Spilo 13+ images. The default is
false
. -
enable_team_id_clustername_prefix To lower the risk of name clashes between clusters of different teams you can turn on this flag and the operator will sync only clusters where the name starts with the
teamId
(fromspec
) plus-
. Default isfalse
. -
etcd_host Etcd connection string for Patroni defined as
host:port
. Not required when Patroni native Kubernetes support is used. The default is empty (use Kubernetes-native DCS). -
kubernetes_use_configmaps Select if setup uses endpoints (default), or configmaps to manage leader when DCS is kubernetes (not etcd or similar). In OpenShift it is not possible to use endpoints option, and configmaps is required. By default,
kubernetes_use_configmaps: false
, meaning endpoints will be used. -
docker_image Spilo Docker image for Postgres instances. For production, don't rely on the default image, as it might be not the most up-to-date one. Instead, build your own Spilo image from the github repository.
-
sidecar_docker_images deprecated: use sidecars instead. A map of sidecar names to Docker images to run with Spilo. In case of the name conflict with the definition in the cluster manifest the cluster-specific one is preferred.
-
sidecars a list of sidecars to run with Spilo, for any cluster (i.e. globally defined sidecars). Each item in the list is of type Container. Globally defined sidecars can be overwritten by specifying a sidecar in the Postgres manifest with the same name. Note: This field is not part of the schema validation. If the container specification is invalid, then the operator fails to create the statefulset.
-
enable_shm_volume Instruct operator to start any new database pod without limitations on shm memory. If this option is enabled, to the target database pod will be mounted a new tmpfs volume to remove shm memory limitation (see e.g. the docker issue). This option is global for an operator object, and can be overwritten by
enableShmVolume
parameter from Postgres manifest. The default istrue
. -
workers number of working routines the operator spawns to process requests to create/update/delete/sync clusters concurrently. The default is
8
. -
max_instances operator will cap the number of instances in any managed Postgres cluster up to the value of this parameter. When
-1
is specified, no limits are applied. The default is-1
. -
min_instances operator will run at least the number of instances for any given Postgres cluster equal to the value of this parameter. Standby clusters can still run with
numberOfInstances: 1
as this is the recommended setup. When-1
is specified formin_instances
, no limits are applied. The default is-1
. -
ignore_instance_limits_annotation_key for some clusters it might be required to scale beyond the limits that can be configured with
min_instances
andmax_instances
options. You can define an annotation key that can be used as a toggle in cluster manifests to ignore globally configured instance limits. The default is empty. -
resync_period period between consecutive sync requests. The default is
30m
. -
repair_period period between consecutive repair requests. The default is
5m
. -
set_memory_request_to_limit Set
memory_request
tomemory_limit
for all Postgres clusters (the default value is also increased but configuredmax_memory_request
can not be bypassed). This prevents certain cases of memory overcommitment at the cost of overprovisioning memory and potential scheduling problems for containers with high memory limits due to the lack of memory on Kubernetes cluster nodes. This affects all containers created by the operator (Postgres, connection pooler, logical backup, scalyr sidecar, and other sidecars except sidecars defined in the operator configuration); to set resources for the operator's own container, change the operator deployment manually. The default isfalse
.
Parameters describing Postgres users. In a CRD-configuration, they are grouped
under the users
key.
-
super_username Postgres
superuser
name to be created byinitdb
. The default ispostgres
. -
replication_username Postgres username used for replication between instances. The default is
standby
. -
additional_owner_roles Specifies database roles that will be granted to all database owners. Owners can then use
SET ROLE
to obtain privileges of these roles to e.g. create or update functionality from extensions as part of a migration script. One such role can becron_admin
which is provided by the Spilo docker image to set up cron jobs inside thepostgres
database. In general, roles listed here should be preconfigured in the docker image and already exist in the database cluster on startup. Otherwise, syncing roles will return an error on each cluster sync process. Alternatively, you have to create the role and do the GRANT manually. Note, the operator will not allow additional owner roles to be members of database owners because it should be vice versa. If the operator cannot set up the correct membership it tries to revoke all additional owner roles from database owners. Default isempty
. -
enable_password_rotation For all
LOGIN
roles that are not database owners the operator can rotate credentials in the corresponding K8s secrets by replacing the username and password. This means, new users will be added on each rotation inheriting all priviliges from the original roles. The rotation date (in YYMMDD format) is appended to the names of the new user. The timestamp of the next rotation is written to the secret. The default isfalse
. -
password_rotation_interval If password rotation is enabled (either from config or cluster manifest) the interval can be configured with this parameter. The measure is in days which means daily rotation (
1
) is the most frequent interval possible. Default is90
. -
password_rotation_user_retention To avoid an ever growing amount of new users due to password rotation the operator will remove the created users again after a certain amount of days has passed. The number can be configured with this parameter. However, the operator will check that the retention policy is at least twice as long as the rotation interval and update to this minimum in case it is not. Default is
180
.
Parameters configuring automatic major version upgrades. In a
CRD-configuration, they are grouped under the major_version_upgrade
key.
-
major_version_upgrade_mode Postgres Operator supports in-place major version upgrade with three different modes:
"off"
= no upgrade by the operator,"manual"
= manifest triggers action,"full"
= manifest and minimal version violation trigger upgrade. Note, that with all three modes increasing the version in the manifest will trigger a rolling update of the pods. The default is"off"
. -
major_version_upgrade_team_allow_list Upgrades will only be carried out for clusters of listed teams when mode is set to "off". The default is empty.
-
minimal_major_version The minimal Postgres major version that will not automatically be upgraded when
major_version_upgrade_mode
is set to"full"
. The default is"12"
. -
target_major_version The target Postgres major version when upgrading clusters automatically which violate the configured allowed
minimal_major_version
whenmajor_version_upgrade_mode
is set to"full"
. The default is"16"
.
Parameters to configure cluster-related Kubernetes objects created by the
operator, as well as some timeouts associated with them. In a CRD-based
configuration they are grouped under the kubernetes
key.
-
pod_service_account_name service account used by Patroni running on individual Pods to communicate with the operator. Required even if native Kubernetes support in Patroni is not used, because Patroni keeps pod labels in sync with the instance role. The default is
postgres-pod
. -
pod_service_account_definition On Postgres cluster creation the operator tries to create the service account for the Postgres pods if it does not exist in the namespace. The internal default service account definition (defines only the name) can be overwritten with this parameter. Make sure to provide a valid YAML or JSON string. The default is empty.
-
pod_service_account_role_binding_definition This definition must bind the pod service account to a role with permission sufficient for the pods to start and for Patroni to access K8s endpoints; service account on its own lacks any such rights starting with K8s v1.8. If not explicitly defined by the user, a simple definition that binds the account to the 'postgres-pod' cluster role will be used. The default is empty.
-
pod_terminate_grace_period Postgres pods are terminated forcefully after this timeout. The default is
5m
. -
custom_pod_annotations This key/value map provides a list of annotations that get attached to each pod of a database created by the operator. If the annotation key is also provided by the database definition, the database definition value is used.
-
delete_annotation_date_key key name for annotation that compares manifest value with current date in the YYYY-MM-DD format. Allowed pattern:
'([A-Za-z0-9][-A-Za-z0-9_.]*)?[A-Za-z0-9]'
. The default is empty which also disables this delete protection check. -
delete_annotation_name_key key name for annotation that compares manifest value with Postgres cluster name. Allowed pattern:
'([A-Za-z0-9][-A-Za-z0-9_.]*)?[A-Za-z0-9]'
. The default is empty which also disables this delete protection check. -
downscaler_annotations An array of annotations that should be passed from Postgres CRD on to the statefulset and, if exists, to the connection pooler deployment as well. Regular expressions like
downscaler/*
etc. are also accepted. Can be used with kube-downscaler. -
ignored_annotations Some K8s tools inject and update annotations out of the Postgres Operator control. This can cause rolling updates on each cluster sync cycle. With this option you can specify an array of annotation keys that should be ignored when comparing K8s resources on sync. The default is empty.
-
watched_namespace The operator watches for Postgres objects in the given namespace. If not specified, the value is taken from the operator namespace. A special
*
value makes it watch all namespaces. The default is empty (watch the operator pod namespace). -
pdb_name_format defines the template for PDB (Pod Disruption Budget) names created by the operator. The default is
postgres-{cluster}-pdb
, where{cluster}
is replaced by the cluster name. Only the{cluster}
placeholders is allowed in the template. -
pdb_master_label_selector By default the PDB will match the master role hence preventing nodes to be drained if the node_readiness_label is not used. If this option if set to
false
thespilo-role=master
selector will not be added to the PDB. -
enable_finalizers By default, a deletion of the Postgresql resource will trigger an event that leads to a cleanup of all child resources. However, if the database cluster is in a broken state (e.g. failed initialization) and the operator cannot fully sync it, there can be leftovers. By enabling finalizers the operator will ensure all managed resources are deleted prior to the Postgresql resource. There is a trade-off though: The deletion is only performed after the next two SYNC cycles with the first one updating the internal spec and the latter reacting on the
deletionTimestamp
while processing the SYNC event. The final removal of the custom resource will add a DELETE event to the worker queue but the child resources are already gone at this point. The default isfalse
. -
persistent_volume_claim_retention_policy The operator tries to protect volumes as much as possible. If somebody accidentally deletes the statefulset or scales in the
numberOfInstances
the Persistent Volume Claims and thus Persistent Volumes will be retained. However, this can have some consequences when you scale out again at a much later point, for example after the cluster's Postgres major version has been upgraded, because the old volume runs the old Postgres version with stale data. Even if the version has not changed the replication lag could be massive. In this case a reinitialization of the re-added member would make sense. You can also modify the retention policy of PVCs in the operator configuration. The behavior can be changed for two scenarios:when_deleted
- default is"retain"
- orwhen_scaled
- default is also"retain"
. The other possible option isdelete
. -
enable_persistent_volume_claim_deletion By default, the operator deletes PersistentVolumeClaims when removing the Postgres cluster manifest, no matter if
persistent_volume_claim_retention_policy
on the statefulset is set toretain
. To keep PVCs set this option tofalse
. The default istrue
. -
enable_pod_disruption_budget PDB is enabled by default to protect the cluster from voluntarily disruptions and hence unwanted DB downtime. However, on some cloud providers it could be necessary to temporarily disabled it, e.g. for node updates. See admin docs for more information. Default is true.
-
enable_cross_namespace_secret To allow secrets in a different namespace other than the Postgres cluster namespace. Once enabled, specify the namespace in the user name under the
users
section in the form{namespace}.{username}
. The default isfalse
. -
enable_init_containers global option to allow for creating init containers in the cluster manifest to run actions before Spilo is started. Default is true.
-
enable_sidecars global option to allow for creating sidecar containers in the cluster manifest to run alongside Spilo on the same pod. Globally defined sidecars are always enabled. Default is true.
-
share_pgsocket_with_sidecars global option to create an emptyDir volume named
postgresql-run
. This is mounted by all containers at/var/run/postgresql
sharing the unix socket of PostgreSQL (pg_socket
) with the sidecars this way. Default isfalse
. -
secret_name_template a template for the name of the database user secrets generated by the operator.
{namespace}
is replaced with name of the namespace ifenable_cross_namespace_secret
is set, otherwise the secret is in cluster's namespace.{username}
is replaced with name of the secret,{cluster}
with the name of the cluster,{tprkind}
with the kind of CRD (formerly known as TPR) and{tprgroup}
with the group of the CRD. No other placeholders are allowed. The default is{namespace}.{username}.{cluster}.credentials.{tprkind}.{tprgroup}
. -
cluster_domain defines the default DNS domain for the kubernetes cluster the operator is running in. The default is
cluster.local
. Used by the operator to connect to the Postgres clusters after creation. -
oauth_token_secret_name namespaced name of the secret containing the
OAuth2
token to pass to the teams API. The default ispostgresql-operator
. -
infrastructure_roles_secret_name deprecated: namespaced name of the secret containing infrastructure roles with user names, passwords and role membership.
-
infrastructure_roles_secrets array of infrastructure role definitions which reference existing secrets and specify the key names from which user name, password and role membership are extracted. For the ConfigMap this has to be a string which allows referencing only one infrastructure roles secret. The default is empty.
-
inherited_annotations list of annotation keys that can be inherited from the cluster manifest, and added to each child objects (
Deployment
,StatefulSet
,Pod
,PDB
andServices
) created by the operator incl. the ones from the connection pooler deployment. The default is empty. -
pod_role_label name of the label assigned to the Postgres pods (and services/endpoints) by the operator. The default is
spilo-role
. -
cluster_labels list of
name:value
pairs for additional labels assigned to the cluster objects. The default isapplication:spilo
. -
inherited_labels list of label keys that can be inherited from the cluster manifest, and added to each child objects (
Deployment
,StatefulSet
,Pod
,PVCs
,PDB
,Service
,Endpoints
andSecrets
) created by the operator. Typical use case is to dynamically pass labels that are specific to a given Postgres cluster, in order to implementNetworkPolicy
. The default is empty. -
cluster_name_label name of the label assigned to Kubernetes objects created by the operator that indicates which cluster a given object belongs to. The default is
cluster-name
. -
node_readiness_label a set of labels that a running and active node should possess to be considered
ready
. When the set is not empty, the operator assigns thenodeAffinity
clause to the Postgres pods to be scheduled only onready
nodes. The default is empty. -
node_readiness_label_merge If a
nodeAffinity
is also specified in the postgres cluster manifest it will get merged with thenode_readiness_label
affinity on the pods. The merge strategy can be configured - it can either be "AND" or "OR". See user docs for more details. Default is "OR". -
toleration a dictionary that should contain
key
,operator
,value
andeffect
keys. In that case, the operator defines a pod toleration according to the values of those keys. See kubernetes documentation for details on taints and tolerations. The default is empty. -
pod_environment_configmap namespaced name of the ConfigMap with environment variables to populate on every pod. All variables from that ConfigMap are injected to the pod's environment if they not if conflict with the environment variables generated by the operator. The WAL location (bucket path) can be overridden, though. The default is empty.
-
pod_environment_secret similar to pod_environment_configmap but referencing a secret with custom environment variables. Because the secret is not allowed to exist in a different namespace than a Postgres cluster you can only use it in a single namespace. The default is empty.
-
pod_priority_class_name a name of the priority class that should be assigned to the Postgres pods. The priority class itself must be defined in advance. Default is empty (use the default priority class).
-
spilo_runasuser sets the user ID which should be used in the container to run the process. This must be set to run the container without root. By default the container runs with root. This option only works for Spilo versions >= 1.6-p3.
-
spilo_runasgroup sets the group ID which should be used in the container to run the process. This must be set to run the container without root. By default the container runs with root. This option only works for Spilo versions >= 1.6-p3.
-
spilo_fsgroup the Persistent Volumes for the Spilo pods in the StatefulSet will be owned and writable by the group ID specified. This is required to run Spilo as a non-root process, but requires a custom Spilo image. Note the FSGroup of a Pod cannot be changed without recreating a new Pod.
-
spilo_privileged whether the Spilo container should run in privileged mode. Privileged mode is used for AWS volume resizing and not required if you don't need that capability. The default is
false
. -
spilo_allow_privilege_escalation Controls whether a process can gain more privileges than its parent process. Required by cron which needs setuid. Without this parameter, certification rotation & backups will not be done. The default is
true
. -
additional_pod_capabilities list of additional capabilities to be added to the postgres container's SecurityContext (e.g. SYS_NICE etc.). Please, make sure first that the PodSecruityPolicy allows the capabilities listed here. Otherwise, the container will not start. The default is empty.
-
master_pod_move_timeout The period of time to wait for the success of migration of master pods from an unschedulable node. The migration includes Patroni switchovers to respective replicas on healthy nodes. The situation where master pods still exist on the old node after this timeout expires has to be fixed manually. The default is 20 minutes.
-
enable_pod_antiaffinity toggles pod anti affinity on the Postgres pods, to avoid multiple pods of the same Postgres cluster in the same topology , e.g. node. The default is
false
. -
pod_antiaffinity_topology_key override topology key for pod anti affinity. The default is
kubernetes.io/hostname
. -
pod_antiaffinity_preferred_during_scheduling when scaling the number of pods beyond the available number of topology keys the anti affinity has to be configured to preferred during scheduling. The default is
false
which means the pod anti affinity will userequiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution
. -
pod_management_policy specify the pod management policy of stateful sets of PG clusters. The default is
ordered_ready
, the second possible value isparallel
. -
enable_readiness_probe the operator can set a readiness probe on the statefulset for the database pods with
InitialDelaySeconds: 6
,PeriodSeconds: 10
,TimeoutSeconds: 5
,SuccessThreshold: 1
andFailureThreshold: 3
. When enabling readiness probes it is recommended to switch thepod_management_policy
toparallel
to avoid unneccesary waiting times in case of multiple instances failing. The default isfalse
. -
storage_resize_mode defines how operator handles the difference between the requested volume size and the actual size. Available options are:
ebs
: operator resizes EBS volumes directly and executesresizefs
within a podpvc
: operator only changes PVC definitionoff
: disables resize of the volumes.mixed
: operator uses AWS API to adjust size, throughput, and IOPS, and calls pvc change for file system resize Default is "pvc".
This group allows you to configure resource requests for the Postgres pods.
Those parameters are grouped under the postgres_pod_resources
key in a
CRD-based configuration.
-
default_cpu_request CPU request value for the Postgres containers, unless overridden by cluster-specific settings. Empty string or
0
disables the default. -
default_memory_request memory request value for the Postgres containers, unless overridden by cluster-specific settings. Empty string or
0
disables the default. -
default_cpu_limit CPU limits for the Postgres containers, unless overridden by cluster-specific settings. Empty string or
0
disables the default. -
default_memory_limit memory limits for the Postgres containers, unless overridden by cluster-specific settings. Empty string or
0
disables the default. -
max_cpu_request optional upper boundary for CPU request
-
max_memory_request optional upper boundary for memory request
-
min_cpu_limit hard CPU minimum what we consider to be required to properly run Postgres clusters with Patroni on Kubernetes.
-
min_memory_limit hard memory minimum what we consider to be required to properly run Postgres clusters with Patroni on Kubernetes.
Parameters configuring Patroni. In the CRD-based configuration they are grouped
under the patroni
key.
- enable_patroni_failsafe_mode
If enabled, Patroni copes with DCS outages by avoiding leader demotion.
See the Patroni documentation here for more details.
This feature is included since Patroni 3.0.0. Hence, check the container image
in use if this feature is included in the used Patroni version. It can also be
enabled cluster-wise with the
failsafe_mode
flag under thepatroni
section in the manifest. The default for the global config option is set tofalse
.
This set of parameters define various timeouts related to some operator
actions, affecting pod operations and CRD creation. In the CRD-based
configuration resource_check_interval
and resource_check_timeout
have no
effect, and the parameters are grouped under the timeouts
key in the
CRD-based configuration.
-
PatroniAPICheckInterval the interval between consecutive attempts waiting for the return of Patroni Api. The default is
1s
. -
PatroniAPICheckTimeout the timeout for a response from Patroni Api. The default is
5s
. -
resource_check_interval interval to wait between consecutive attempts to check for the presence of some Kubernetes resource (i.e.
StatefulSet
orPodDisruptionBudget
). The default is3s
. -
resource_check_timeout timeout when waiting for the presence of a certain Kubernetes resource (i.e.
StatefulSet
orPodDisruptionBudget
) before declaring the operation unsuccessful. The default is10m
. -
pod_label_wait_timeout timeout when waiting for the pod role and cluster labels. Bigger value gives Patroni more time to start the instance; smaller makes the operator detect possible issues faster. The default is
10m
. -
pod_deletion_wait_timeout timeout when waiting for the Postgres pods to be deleted when removing the cluster or recreating pods. The default is
10m
. -
ready_wait_interval the interval between consecutive attempts waiting for the
postgresql
CRD to be created. The default is5s
. -
ready_wait_timeout the timeout for the complete
postgresql
CRD creation. The default is30s
.
Those options affect the behavior of load balancers created by the operator.
In the CRD-based configuration they are grouped under the load_balancer
key.
-
custom_service_annotations This key/value map provides a list of annotations that get attached to each service of a cluster created by the operator. If the annotation key is also provided by the cluster definition, the manifest value is used. Optional.
-
db_hosted_zone DNS zone for the cluster DNS name when the load balancer is configured for the cluster. Only used when combined with external-dns and with the cluster that has the load balancer enabled. The default is
db.example.com
. -

false
. -
external_traffic_policy defines external traffic policy for load balancers. Allowed values are
Cluster
(default) andLocal
. -
master_dns_name_format defines the DNS name string template for the master load balancer cluster. The default is
{cluster}.{namespace}.{hostedzone}
, where{cluster}
is replaced by the cluster name,{namespace}
is replaced with the namespace and{hostedzone}
is replaced with the hosted zone (the value of thedb_hosted_zone
parameter). The{team}
placeholder can still be used, although it is not recommened because the team of a cluster can change. If the cluster name starts with theteamId
it will also be part of the DNS, aynway. No other placeholders are allowed! -
master_legacy_dns_name_format deprecated default master DNS template
{cluster}.{team}.{hostedzone}
as of prev1.9.0
. If cluster name starts withteamId
then a second DNS entry will be created using the template defined here to provide backwards compatibility. TheteamId
prefix will be extracted from the clustername because it follows later in the DNS string. When using a customizedmaster_dns_name_format
make sure to define the legacy DNS format when switching to v1.9.0. -
replica_dns_name_format defines the DNS name string template for the replica load balancer cluster. The default is
{cluster}-repl.{namespace}.{hostedzone}
, where{cluster}
is replaced by the cluster name,{namespace}
is replaced with the namespace and{hostedzone}
is replaced with the hosted zone (the value of thedb_hosted_zone
parameter). The{team}
placeholder can still be used, although it is not recommened because the team of a cluster can change. If the cluster name starts with theteamId
it will also be part of the DNS, aynway. No other placeholders are allowed! -
replica_legacy_dns_name_format deprecated default master DNS template
{cluster}-repl.{team}.{hostedzone}
as of prev1.9.0
. If cluster name starts withteamId
then a second DNS entry will be created using the template defined here to provide backwards compatibility. TheteamId
prefix will be extracted from the clustername because it follows later in the DNS string. When using a customizedmaster_dns_name_format
make sure to define the legacy DNS format when switching to v1.9.0.
The options in this group configure operator interactions with non-Kubernetes
objects from Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). They have
no effect unless you are using either. In the CRD-based configuration those
options are grouped under the aws_or_gcp
key. Note the GCP integration is not
yet officially supported.
