The PostgreSQL cluster functionality available in the IONOS CLOUD Data Center Designer (DCD) is also available through the API.
The PostgreSQL v1 API refers to the existing API and works alongside the PostgreSQL v2 API.
Important: The PostgreSQL v1 API will be deprecated in an upcoming release. All existing clusters operating on the v1 version will be automatically migrated to the v2 version as part of this process. No user action is required. For more information, see Version comparison.
Use the PostgreSQL v1 API to:
Create and manage PostgreSQL database clusters.
Manage database users and access controls.
Filter and paginate by cluster name.
Handle backups and restores.
Access cluster logs for monitoring and troubleshooting.
