Hi, i hava a question about AWX project.

I installed AWX on kubernets by github install guide and i am wondering why awx-postgresql shoud be statefulset.

Because, if i use a statefulset, awx-postgresql pods composed of statefulsets cannot be duplicated.  
Each pods have a unique persistent disk.

How can i do if i want to awx-postgresql duplication? (shared persistent disk)

As expected, i will change statefulset to deployment or anything to do?

Thanks.

We were stuck using statefulset because of rabbitmq. We needed the containers to come up in a certain order. Now that rabbitmq has been replaced with redis, we shouldn’t need statefulset anymore.

Thank you for your answer.

I found that new release contains redis, not rabbitmq.

But, if i use postgresql in helm chart, it is still statefulset.  
Do you have any plan to change this?

I found your PR. Thank you.

But, awx 10.0.0 released on March 30 doesn’t include your PR.

And, i said above.  
postgresql in helm chart, it is still statefulset.

I will waiting for next version.
