Description

  • Which image of the operator are you using? registry.opensource.zalan.do/acid/postgres-operator:v1.8.2
  • Where do you run it - cloud or metal? Kubernetes or OpenShift? Bare Metal K8s
  • Are you running Postgres Operator in production? yes
  • Type of issue? feature request

Hi team!
The operator is creating foo-test-cluster-repl Service pointing to all replicas. When one wants to use synchronous replication, could the operator create the Service pointing only to synchronous replicas? E.g. foo-test-cluster-sync-repl pointing to replicas with Sync Standby role (patroni notation), foo-test-cluster-repl pointing to all replicas (it seems to me it's a valid case when total_replicas > sync_replicas).

Research direction

Start by tracing how the operator creates the existing replica Service and how it identifies Patroni replica roles. Confirm how synchronous replicas are represented, then define the additional Service behavior while preserving the existing all-replica Service. Done means the synchronous-replica Service selects only replicas with the Sync Standby role and the existing Service still selects all replicas.
