CHARLESTON, S.C., June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Crunchy Data — the leading provider of trusted open source PostgreSQL products, support, and training — announces the release of its next generation Kubernetes-native Postgres offering, Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes. Powered by PGO, the open source Postgres Operator from Crunchy Data, Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes 5.0 provides a declarative interface for creating automatically managed, production-ready Postgres clusters in Kubernetes compatible with GitOps workflows.

Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes is certified for Red Hat OpenShift, recognized as a Kubernetes Operator with a Level 5 certification on OperatorHub.io. Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes is certified for use with several Red Hat products, including the Red Hat Quay registry.

"Crunchy Data works with Red Hat to bring trusted open source Postgres into the Red Hat ecosystem through proven, certified solutions geared towards enterprise requirements," says Jonathan Katz, VP of Platform Engineering at Crunchy Data. "Through this collaboration, Crunchy Data and Red Hat have made it possible to further adopt open source Postgres for mission-critical applications."

Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes 5.0 builds on years of experience from Crunchy Data deploying and managing trusted open source Postgres in mission-critical Kubernetes environments.

Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes 5.0 provides advanced resiliency and healing mechanisms that ensure key components are always available and rebuilt, and lets Postgres clusters manage key functions, such as high availability and backups, without a single-point-of-failure.
