Elephants on Automatic: HA Clustered PostgreSQL with Helm [I] - Josh Berkus, Red Hat & Oleksii Kliukin, Zalando
Kuberntes and Helm are not only the best way to automate high-availability PostgreSQL clusters, they're also the easiest! Join us to find out how you can deploy several different PostgreSQL cluster types using Helm in 30 minutes or less.
Helm is a package manager of choice for the Kubernetes community. PostgreSQL is the most advanced open-source database and is quickly becoming the relational database of choice for numerous developers running their applications in the cloud. In this talk, we are going to show two different types of fully automated PostgreSQL clusters with Helm: Spilo and CitusDB. Spilo provides automated failover and support services for single-master database clusters, and CitusDB provides sharded, big-data PostgreSQL.
We will demonstrate both of these types of clusters (and possibly others), explain how the Helm charts which set them up work, and how you can modify them to support your production environment.
About Josh Berkus
Josh Berkus containerized and automates all the things, using Project Atomic, Kubernetes, Ansible and Python. He's also known for his work on the PostgreSQL database.
About Oleksii Kliukin
Oleksii Kliukin is an engineer for Zalando, where he helps improve and maintain Spilo and Patroni, providing the fashion giant with full-automated, self-deploying database clusters.
Join us for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Barcelona May 20 - 23, Shanghai June 24 - 26, and San Diego November 18 - 21! Learn more at https://kubecon.io. The conference features presentations from developers and end users of Kubernetes, Prometheus, Envoy and all of the other CNCF-hosted projects.
