Crunchy Data is pleased to participate in the newly launched Red Hat Marketplace, built in collaboration by Red Hat and IBM.
Crunchy Data — the leading provider of trusted open source PostgreSQL is proud to announce that Crunchy PostgreSQL for Kubernetes is now available through Red Hat Marketplace, an open cloud marketplace that enables enterprise companies to easily discover and access certified software for container-based environments across the hybrid cloud. Through the marketplace, customers can take advantage of responsive support, streamlined billing, and simplified governance with a single-dashboard to provide visibility and insights across clouds.
Crunchy PostgreSQL for Kubernetes previously achieved the “autopilot” capability level as part of Red Hat OpenShift Operator Certification. The “autopilot” capability level designates the highest level of automation associated with operator technologies, including PostgreSQL cluster self-healing after an automated failover event and advanced high-availability configurations for workloads sensitive to transaction loss and uptime.
