Want automated high availability PostgreSQL without relying on someone else's cloud service? It's possible today, and easier than you think; we just need a little container orchestration pixiedust, and your DBAs can take the weekend off.

Josh Berkus will explain the current state of HA Postgres services on Kubernetes/OpenShift, introducing the several projects in this area, and then going into a deep dive on Patroni/Spilo. He'll bring you up to date on the new "Kube-native" Patroni, and work expected in the future. With live demos!

Josh Berkus helps manage the Kubernetes community for Red Hat. He is a "hacker emeritus" for PostgreSQL. He lives in NE Portland with a large black cat, a pottery studio, and a librarian.
