February 2018 Meeting: Automatic For The People

When: 6-8pm Thursday February 15, 2018

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!
