OVERVIEW
Organizations of all sizes rely on Ansible® Automation Platform for critical processes and workflows. Did you know you can easily upgrade to highly available Postgres with instant failover and redundancy to enhance the resiliency of your Ansible Automation Platform?
This talk will cover the process to upgrade to Crunchy Data's High Availability Postgres for Ansible Automation Platform. Starting with a fully functioning base build of Ansible Automation Platform 2.x series, we will demo the steps to update the base reference files and change database architecture. We will also include a demo of Crunchy Data's High Availability Postgres environment.
Next, hear about the upgrade process internally at Kyndryl and the results of their database upgrade on Ansible Automation Platform.
