Revision 381/382
September 11, 2024
Dear community,
Canonical’s newest Charmed PostgreSQL K8s operator has been published in the 14/stable channel.
Due to the newly added support for arm64
architecture, the PostgreSQL K8s charm now releases multiple revisions simultaneously:
- Revision 381 is built for
amd64
on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (postgresql-image r162) - Revision 382 is built for
arm64
on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (postgresql-image r162)
To make sure you deploy for the right architecture, we recommend setting an architecture constraint for your entire juju model.
Otherwise, it can be done at deploy time with the --constraints
flag:
juju deploy postgresql-k8s --trust --constraints arch=<arch>
where <arch>
can be amd64
or arm64
.

Known limitations
- The unit action
resume-upgrade
randomly raises a harmless error message:terminated
. - The charm sysbench may crash during a PostgreSQL charm refresh.
- Make sure that cluster-cluster replication is requested for the same charm/workload revisions. An automated check is planned.
- Contact us to schedule a cluster-cluster replication upgrade with you.
If you are jumping over several stable revisions, check previous release notes before upgrading.

- (increased) The minimum Juju version required to reliably operate all features of the release is
