High Performance Postgres with Kubernetes and Bare Metal
Today, enterprises have many options for where and how to run their workloads. Public clouds provide unparalleled flexibility and scalability, while private clouds bring that flexibility in-house.
However, sometimes you need to maximize performance and control. You can achieve this by deploying on bare metal, whether in bare metal clouds or data centers you control. Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes manages your Postgres wherever you run your Kubernetes.
Maximize Performance Close to the Hardware
When maximizing the performance of your database is crucial, operating as close to the hardware as possible is essential. Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes excels in various environments, providing comprehensive support for both ARM64 and AMD64 hardware architectures. This flexibility allows you to choose the best infrastructure for your specific needs, ensuring optimal performance and control.
Flexible Deployment Options
Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes facilitates the management of PostgreSQL instances running in Kubernetes, regardless of where your infrastructure resides. For scenarios demanding unmatched control and performance, such as bare metal and on-premises environments, Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes offers a robust solution that aligns perfectly with your requirements. This versatility allows you to seamlessly switch between cloud and on-premises workloads using the same tooling and user experience.
Cloud-like agility for any deployment location
Hybrid Deployments for Postgres on Kubernetes
One of the powerful ideas that we see developing is hybrid deployments. Stretching your deployments across classic cloud and bare metal options can allow for highly tuned and performant core services, with the ability to burst into the cloud for disaster recovery, additional resources, and the ability to to choose the correct substrate for each workload. For small ephemeral workloads such as test environments, development environments, and microservices, the cloud may make sense. For places where you must get maximum performance, bare metal may make sense.

Benefits of Bare Metal Deployment
Kubernetes storage on bare metal
Storage in bare metal Kubernetes environments can be managed using local storage, network-attached storage (NAS), or storage area networks (SANs). Crunchy Postgres for Kubernetes supports various storage configurations to ensure data resilience and performance. You can easily set up storage in a cloud provider to act as an automated off-site secondary backup storage location, while using local storage as the primary backup storage for day-to-day operations, ensuring that you minimize costs and maximize performance.
Customization
- Bare metal deployments allow you to customize hardware to meet specific needs, enhancing performance and control.
Flexibility
