# PostgreSQL v2 API Workflows

The section covers the complete operational lifecycle for the <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> DBaaS PostgreSQL v2 API:

* **Prerequisite discovery:** Find supported PostgreSQL versions and explicitly modeled backup locations.
* **Cluster provisioning:** Create and modify PostgreSQL clusters using the idempotent "Ensure" pattern.
* **Access management:** Manage database access and credentials using the main user that is created during cluster provisioning.
* **Data safety:** Back up and restore clusters using the dedicated, independent backup resource for geographic data safety.
