Create a Cluster
Let’s create a simple Postgres cluster. You can do this by executing the following command:
kubectl apply -k kustomize/postgresThis will create a Postgres cluster named hippo in the postgres-operator namespace.
To track on the progress of the cluster, you can run:
kubectl -n postgres-operator describe postgresclusters.postgres-operator.crunchydata.com hippoThis command is not shown in terminal due to the complexity of the response, but you can find more info about the kubectl describe command in the docs.
