Postgres Images should always use the new Image repository

Currently if the Postgres Crunchy Version is the same between to Fixpacks the old Image Reposiory is still used.


Example:

I upgrade from APIC Version 10.0.5.4 to 10.0.5.5. In this to Versions the Crunchy Version is the same.

I have uploaded the Images into to different Image Repositories. E.g. .../apic_10.0.5.4 and .../apic_10.0.5.5


With the Upgrade now all mgmt Pods are using the apic_10.0.5.5 Image Repo (e.g. apim, nats, postgres-operator, ...)


But the 3 Postgres Component

  • postgres

  • pgbouncer

  • postgres-backrest

are still using the .../apic_10.0.5.4 image Repository.

This is ok from a functional aspect ok because the crunchy image is the same in both Versions.

But this leads to some confusions in the Operations Team and also it includes the risk of deleting the old Image Repo, because without knowing this special behavior of the postgres Pods the old repository is not longer needed.


So it would be good to implement a uniform behavior for the Postgres pods as well, so that the Postgres pods also use the new image repository after the upgrade. So that the problems described do not occur any more and the operation of APIC becomes easier.

    Thank you for this enhancement request. In v10.0.8.x that DataPower provider is now EDB vs Crunchy. As part of moving to EDB there were many enhancements that included automatically check the EDB that the registry is changed and DB Pods are Rotated.

    The concerns as described should no long be an issue but we have added additional checks to our next fix pack test plan to validate.
