Pavel Zaytsev d0e215dee3 Add ignore_slots support to Patroni DCS configuration
- Add ignore_slots field to Patroni struct in CRD
- Add ignore_slots to patroniDCS struct for Spilo configuration
- Generate ignore_slots in SPILO_CONFIGURATION when specified
- Update CRD manifest to accept ignore_slots field
- Add unit test for ignore_slots configuration

This enables PostgreSQL 17 native slot synchronization support by allowing
users to configure Patroni to ignore specific replication slot types (e.g.,
logical slots) during failover operations.

Users can now configure ignore_slots in their PostgreSQL manifest:

  patroni:
    ignore_slots:
      - type: logical

This instructs Patroni to ignore logical replication slots during failover,
which is essential for PostgreSQL 17's native logical slot synchronization
feature where slots are automatically synced to standbys.

Postgres Operator

Tests E2E Tests Coverage Status

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.

Operator features

  • Rolling updates on Postgres cluster changes, incl. quick minor version updates
  • Live volume resize without pod restarts (AWS EBS, PVC)
  • Database connection pooling with PGBouncer
  • Support fast in place major version upgrade. Supports global upgrade of all clusters.
  • Pod protection during bootstrap phase and configurable maintenance windows
  • Restore and cloning Postgres clusters on AWS, GCS and Azure
  • Additionally logical backups to S3 or GCS bucket can be configured
  • Standby cluster from S3 or GCS WAL archive
  • Configurable for non-cloud environments
  • Basic credential and user management on K8s, eases application deployments
  • Support for custom TLS certificates
  • UI to create and edit Postgres cluster manifests
  • Compatible with OpenShift

PostgreSQL features

The Postgres Operator has been developed at Zalando and is being used in production for over five years.
