+The compute resources to be used for the Postgres containers in the pods can be
+specified in the postgresql cluster manifest.

+```yaml
+spec:
+  resources:
+    requests:

+will cancel ADD or UPDATE events on this resource with an error. If no
+resources are defined in the manifest the operator will obtain the configured
