Enabling High Availability and Data Consistency Features
Kubernetes enables quick recovery from both pod and host failures, and Kubernetes storage services provide a high level of availability for the underlying data. Furthermore, virtualized environments make it difficult to ensure the anti-affinity guarantees required for Greenplum mirroring solutions. For these reasons, mirrorless deployments are fully supported with Greenplum for Kubernetes. Other deployment environments are generally not supported for production use unless both Greenplum master and segment mirroring are enabled.
For information about the utilities that are used to enable high availability, see the Greenplum Database Utility Guide.
