WHAT’S NEW
Trusted Postgres Architect 23.24 is now available.
Trusted Postgres Architect (TPA) is a deployment automation and configuration management tool that encapsulates EDB’s experience in High Availability (HA) Postgres to simplify the deployment of HA clusters. Using TPA, you can deploy a robust production-ready cluster with only a few simple commands. Furthermore, you can manage the configuration of that cluster throughout its lifetime, applying changes and updates with minimal downtime. TPA supports EDB Postgres Distributed and primary-standby HA architectures including some composed entirely of open source components. EDB customers and the wider Postgres community can benefit from simple, robust, and repeatable deployment and management of trusted HA architectures with TPA.
Please note that 2ndQuadrant/ansible is now deprecated and `tpaexec setup` now defaults to Community Ansible. Support for using the 2ndQuadrant Ansible fork in will be removed from TPA in April 2024 and the GitHub repository will be archived. You should switch to Community Ansible, which is now the default. For the vast majority of users, this change will be transparent. However, if you are using `--skip-tags` with 2ndQuadrant Ansible, be aware that this is not supported with TPA and Community Ansible. We plan to provide an alternative to `--skip-tags` compatible with Community Ansible before the removal of 2ndQuadrant Ansible.
For further information, including bug fixes or changes, please refer to the Release Notes.
