Description

Please, answer some short questions which should help us to understand your problem / question better?

  • Which image of the operator are you using? ghcr.io/zalando/postgres-operator:v1.11.0
  • 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? Question / Feature Request

How are major version upgrades envisioned to function together with Standby Clusters? We have a master and multiple StandbyClusters which are completely separated.

Is there already some manual to handle these kind of upgrades? Postgres rsync suggestion will not work since the operator immediately restarts the new major version.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing the operator's standby-cluster and major-version upgrade handling, then consult any existing upgrade documentation. Done would require a documented, supported procedure or a clearly scoped implementation path for upgrading the master and separated standby clusters.
