It is more than "Percona Thinks" We have number of customers who started using Crunchy Kubernetes Operator based solution thinking it is Open Source and were contacted by Crunchy Sales team to indicate they need subscription to use it.
This was one of the reasons for them to move to Percona Operator for PostgreSQL which does not require any commercial relationship with Percona to use in practice and completely Open Source
CloudNativePG Maintainer and VP of CloudNative at EDB here.
We decided to go even further with the CloudNativePG operator.
EDB as original creator has decided to donate the intellectual property of the source code to the community, open sourced the existing operator under Apache License 2.0 to apply for the CNCF Sandbox. The project not only includes the operator, but also the PostgreSQL operand images - which can be customized (we provide details on how images should be).
We genuinely welcome other vendors to participate in the community and contribute to the project, including by offering professional services around it. Our multi-year commitment is to become a graduated CNCF project.
I just noticed you guys are finally working on an operator for MySQL (not just XtraDB), I’ve been waiting for something like this forever after numerous false starts from Oracle, MariaDB, and some well intentioned community led projects that never really got off the ground. Kudos to your team!
The percona pgo fork is quite a few versions behind the crunchydata pgo which has more declarative configuration, this is what ultimately made me reconsider persona pgo.
