Revision 429/430
June 28, 2024
Dear community,
Canonical’s newest Charmed PostgreSQL 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 429 is built for
amd64
- Revision 430 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 --constraints arch=<arch>
where <arch>
can be amd64
or arm64
.
