Since the completion of a liberal arts degree in 2019, Sharif has been working deeply in the Kubernetes ecosystem, building automation to help orchestrate the management of critical infrastructure. Beginning with IBM, he worked on developing new systems in K8s to automate the provisioning of bare metal servers for customers seeking greater hardware isolation and customization.  In 2022 Sharif joined EDB and began contributing at the intersection of Postgres and cloud infrastructure. Working closely with the CloudNativePG Project, he has been providing enterprise grade infrastructure and support to Postgres. Bringing robust monitoring, high availability, disaster recovery, and cloud native extensibility to users of the beloved open source database. Most recently his work has expanded to include integration of analytics and AI workloads into the Postgres ecosystem. Him and his team have been accomplishing this through custom extensions and cloud plugins, allowing for constant adaptation to the ever growing open source cloud database landscape.

Extending Cloud-Native Postgres with CNPG-I Plugins

CNPG-I (CloudNativePG Interface) is an open-source solution for extending Postgres in Kubernetes through a powerful plugin system. In this talk, we will dive into how these plugins work with the CloudNativePG Project in Kubernetes and walk through the creation and deployment of Postgres clusters with a custom plugin. By the end of the presentation, attendees will have a foundational understanding of how to use CloudNativePG along with CNPG-I plugins to deploy and expand their Postgres database solutions in Kubernetes.
