Description

For migration purposes we must expose postgres outside of k8s cluster, our main exposure method is a NodePort.

It would be nice if cluster CRD will allow to alter service type to a NodePort and optionally specify a value for nodeport number

Research direction

Start by locating the cluster CRD and the reconciliation path that creates the PostgreSQL Service. Trace how service type and an optional nodePort value are represented and validated. Done means the CRD can request NodePort exposure with an optional port and the resulting service reflects those settings.
