Switchover and Switchback of CloudNativePG Replica Clusters in a Distributed Topology (K8s) - Part 2

This runbook details the operational procedures for performing a controlled Switchover and Switchback between two EDB Postgres Advanced 18 clusters managed by CloudNativePG (CNPG). This is Part 2 of the series. If you haven't set up the distributed topology yet, start with Part 1: Deployment of PostgreSQL Replica Cluster via Barman Cloud Plugin on CloudNativePG.

Followup on this: Looking into Garage first. Very simplified access model, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Seems to work fine with #CloudNativePG (#CNPG). Can create buckets and keys through the API.

Considering putting the time to try write an operator for #Kubernetes that can request buckets from various providers, inspired by StorageClasses and PVCs. Throw a bucket claim manifest in your name space, and receive a secret with credentials for it. Apply to CNPG or Mastodon or whatnot, and Bob's your uncle. Easily request from different providers, either local or remote. I'm thinking MinIO, Garage and perhaps RustFS too. Multi tenancy safe too, somehow.

I really wish someone would step up and build a cloudnative-pg -like tooling for mongodb

it's such a pain to work and maintain a self-hosted when you don't want to pay for the hosted version
