Adds a configurable mapping between PostgreSQL CR annotations and EBS
volume tags. The operator reads the configured annotation keys from the
CR metadata and applies them as tags on the associated EBS volumes during
each sync cycle.
Tags are compared against existing EBS tags (extracted from DescribeVolumes,
which is already called for volume management) and CreateTags is only called
when a tag is missing or has a different value, avoiding unnecessary AWS API
calls on steady state.
Configuration example in the operator ConfigMap/OperatorConfiguration:

Postgres Operator
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
- Supports PostgreSQL 18, starting from 14+
- Streaming replication cluster via Patroni
- Point-In-Time-Recovery with pg_basebackup / WAL-G or WAL-E via Spilo
- Preload libraries: bg_mon, pg_stat_statements, pgextwlist, pg_auth_mon
- Incl. popular Postgres extensions such as decoderbufs, hypopg, pg_cron, pg_repack, pg_partman, pg_stat_kcache, pg_audit, pgfaceting, pgq, pgvector, plpgsql_check, plproxy, postgis, roaringbitmap, set_user and timescaledb
The Postgres Operator has been developed at Zalando and is being used in production for over five years.
