Postgres Cluster (v2)

postgres_cluster_v2

This module supports creating, updating, restoring or destroying Postgres Clusters using the DBaaS PostgreSQL v2 API. The cluster region is selected through the I(location) option; I(api_url) overrides the base API URL globally (for a proxy/test endpoint, not for region selection).

NOTE: If you are using a versions 7.0.0 and up: modules can replace resources if certain set parameters differ from the results found in the API!

Parameters that can trigger a resource replacement:

  • connection

  • backup_location

state: present

Available parameters for state present:

Name
Required
Description

maintenance_window dict

True

A weekly 4 hour-long window, during which maintenance might occur. A dict with keys `time` (start of the maintenance window in UTC, e.g. "16:30:00") and `day_of_the_week` (e.g. "Sunday").

postgres_version str

True

The PostgreSQL version for the cluster.

instances int

True

The total number of instances in the cluster (one primary and n-1 secondary).

cores int

True

The number of CPU cores per instance.

ram int

True

The amount of memory per instance in gigabytes (GB).

storage_size int

True

The amount of storage per instance in gigabytes (GB).

connection dict

True

Connection information of the PostgreSQL cluster. A dict with keys `datacenter` (ID or name), `lan` (ID or name) and `primary_instance_address` (IP and netmask of the cluster's primary instance, e.g. 192.168.1.101/24).

replication_mode str

True

Defines the replication mode across instances. - `ASYNCHRONOUS`: Propagates updates to other instances without waiting for confirmation. Offers higher performance but may result in temporary data inconsistencies during replication delays. - `STRICTLY_SYNCHRONOUS`: Only supported for clusters with at least 3 instances. Requires all instances to acknowledge the update before it is committed, guaranteeing strong consistency at the cost of potential performance impact in high-latency environments. Options: ['ASYNCHRONOUS', 'STRICTLY_SYNCHRONOUS']

name str

True

The name of your PostgreSQL cluster. Must be 63 characters or less and must begin and end with an alphanumeric character (`[a-z0-9A-Z]`) with dashes (`-`), underscores (`_`), dots (`.`), and alphanumerics between.

db_username str

True

The username of the master database user. Must be 16 characters or less and must include only alphanumeric characters (`[A-Za-z0-9_]`) and underscores (`_`).

db_password str

True

The password for the master database user. Must meet the following requirements: - At least 8 characters long. - Contains at least one lowercase letter. - Contains at least one uppercase letter. - Contains at least one digit (0-9). - Contains at least one special character from the set: @$!%*?&

db_database str

True

The name of the initial database to be created. Must be 63 characters or less and must include only alphanumeric characters (`[a-z0-9A-Z]`) and underscores (`_`).

connection_pooler str

False

Defines how database connections are managed and reused. Default value is DISABLED. DISABLED: No connection pooling is used. Each request opens a new connection, which is closed immediately after use. It ensures isolation but may impact performance due to frequent connection setup and teardown. TRANSACTION: Connections are pooled and reused for the duration of a transaction. Once the transaction completes, the connection is returned to the pool. This mode balances efficiency with transactional integrity. SESSION: Connections are retained for the entire session and reused across multiple transactions. Offers the highest performance by minimizing connection overhead, but may tie up resources longer. Options: ['DISABLED', 'TRANSACTION', 'SESSION']

backup_location str

True

The Object Storage location where the backup will be created. The BackupLocations provides a list of supported locations.

backup_retention_days int

True

Configures how many days cluster backups are retained.

logs_enabled bool

False

Allows or disallows the collection and reporting of logs for this cluster's observability. If the observability service is not activated on the contract, this setting is accepted but has no effect; log collection will not be enabled until the observability service is activated.

metrics_enabled bool

False

Allows or disallows the collection and reporting of metrics for this cluster's observability. If the observability service is not activated on the contract, this setting is accepted but has no effect; metric collection will not be enabled until the observability service is activated.

backup_id str

False

The ID of the backup to initialize the cluster from when creating (restore from an existing backup).

recovery_target_time str

False

Recovery target time (ISO 8601). Used to replay backups up to the specified time on creation, or for an in-place restore when state is `restore`.

location str

False

The location (region) in which the cluster will be created. Different service endpoints are used based on location, possible options are: "de/fra", "de/txl", "es/vit", "fr/par", "gb/lhr", "gb/bhx", "us/ewr", "us/las", "us/mci". If not set, the endpoint will be the one corresponding to "de/txl". The api_url, if set, overrides this.

allow_replace bool

False

Boolean indicating if the resource should be recreated when the state cannot be reached in another way. This may be used to prevent resources from being deleted from specifying a different value to an immutable property. An error will be thrown instead Default: False

api_url str
