Stateful workloads on Kubernetes continue to demand not only faster performance but also larger scale and more streamlined operational simplicity. Azure Container Storage v2.1.0 is now generally available with three headline improvements:

Elastic SAN (ESAN) integration: consolidate hundreds of persistent volumes under a single managed ESAN, bypassing VM disk-attachment limits

Modular on-demand installation: deploy only the components your chosen storage type requires, reducing install time and cluster footprint

Node selector support: control where Azure Container Storage components run so you can optimize resource usage across node pools

We're pleased to share the newly updated guidance on deploying PostgreSQL with CloudNativePG on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

Introduction​

Last year we announced the general availability of Azure Container Storage, the industry’s first platform-managed container native storage service in the public cloud. This solution delivers high performance and scalable storage that can effectively meet the demands of containerized environments. Today we are announcing a new v2.0.0 release of Azure Container Storage for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). It builds on the foundation of previous release and takes it further by focusing on higher performance, lower latency, efficient resource management and a Kubernetes native user experience for managing stateful workloads on AKS.

PostgreSQL is one of the most popular stateful workloads on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Thanks to the support of a vibrant community, we now have a strong PostgreSQL operator ecosystem that makes it easier for everyone to self-host PostgreSQL on Kubernetes.
