Description

Hello everyone,
When updating our cluster or moving pods from one node to another, our user looses the login role which causes service interruption. The role comes back after a while (time range vary)

I am probably missing some configuration, feeling like a "minimum replica policy" might be the thing (we have two replicas).
Any idea that might help ? 🙏

Thank you

Research direction

Start by reproducing the cluster update or pod move with Postgres Operator v1.10.0 on AWS EKS, using the reported two-replica setup. Inspect the operator behavior around the login role during failover or rescheduling. Done means identifying the relevant configuration or producing a clearly reproducible operator defect.
