Revision 280/281
June 28, 2024
Dear community,
Canonical’s newest Charmed PostgreSQL K8s operator has been published in the ‘14/stable’ channel
Due to the newly added support for arm64
architecture, the PostgreSQL charm now releases two revisions simultaneously:
- Revision 281 is built for
amd64
- Revision 280 is built for for
arm64
To make sure you deploy for the right architecture, we recommend setting an architecture constraint for your entire juju model.
Otherwise, it can be done at deploy time with the --constraints
flag:
juju deploy postgresql-k8s --constraints arch=<arch> --trust
where <arch>
can be amd64
or arm64
.
If you are jumping over several stable revisions, make sure to check previous release notes before upgrading to this revision.
