Description

  • Which image of the operator are you using? - registry.opensource.zalan.do/acid/postgres-operator:v1.6.0
  • Where do you run it - cloud or metal? - Bare Metal K8s (microk8s)
  • Are you running Postgres Operator in production? - yes
  • Type of issue? - Bug report

Operator successfully read own OperatorConfiguration resource on start and ignores subsequent updates to it. I can't find any params/env to configure this behavior in docs.

As workaround we are forced to delete operator pod.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the report. Start by tracing how the Kubernetes OperatorConfiguration resource is read and whether updates trigger reconciliation; reproduce the behavior on the reported operator version. Done means configuration changes take effect without deleting the operator pod, with regression coverage if the project has a relevant test location.
