EDB has released its CloudNativePG offering, an open source operator optimized for Kubernetes. In addition, EDB announced the submission of a Sandbox application to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).
The CloudNativePG is created on the principles of cloud-native. It allows senior IT decision-makers to develop a foundation for the microservices-based cloud-native principles. The latest open-source Kubernetes operation would ease up the integration of the Postgres database platform in enterprise Kubernetes deployments, boosting the pace of application and service delivery and accelerating enterprise innovation.
No doubt that Kubernetes has completely changed the way enterprises globally build, deploy, and manage large scale applications through containers. The obstacles of managing and taking advantage of the data within containerized applications have become resistance to using Kubernetes in multiple application scenarios. CloudNativePG offers a community-managed, open-source solution for data-centric applications on Kubernetes.
Open Source
The open-source Kubernetes operator was created with DevOps and Agile development in mind to help end-users add technology versatility to their projects and get to market faster.

All end users who take advantage of the community version will also be able to get support for CloudNativePG from EDB with EDB’s Community 360 Subscription offering.
To help enterprise end-users with tooling, enhanced features, and support, EDB also offers EDB Postgres for Kubernetes that leverages CloudNative PG to allow end-users to use enterprise-grade support and capabilities.
