Free evaluation v1
EDB Postgres for Kubernetes is available for a free evaluation.
The process is different between Community PostgreSQL and EDB Postgres Advanced Server.
Evaluating using PostgreSQL
By default, EDB Postgres for Kubernetes installs the latest available version of Community PostgreSQL.
No license key is required. The operator automatically generates an implicit trial license for the cluster that lasts for 30 days. This trial license is ideal for evaluation, proof of concept, integration with CI/CD pipelines, and so on.
PostgreSQL container images are available at quay.io/enterprisedb/postgresql.
Evaluating using EDB Postgres Advanced Server
There are two ways to obtain the EDB Postgres Advanced Server image for evaluation purposes. The easiest is through the EDB Image Repository, where all you’ll need is an EDB account to auto generate a repository access token. The other way is to download the image through quay.io and request a trial license key from EDB support.
EDB Image Repository
You can use EDB Postgres for Kubernetes with EDB Postgres Advanced Server. You can access the image by obtaining a repository access token to EDB's image repositories.
Obtaining your access token
You can request a repository access token from the EDB Repositories Download page. You will also need to be signed into your EDB account. If you don't have an EDB Account, you can register for one on the EDB site.
Quay Image Repository
If you want to use the Quay image repository, you’ll need a trial license key for access to use the images. To request a trial license key for EDB Postgres Kubernetes please contact your sales representative or you can contact our EDB Technical Support Team by email at techsupport@enterprisedb.com or file a ticket on our support portal https://techsupport.enterprisedb.com. Please allow 24 hours for your license to be generated and delivered to you and if you need any additional support please do not hesitate to contact us.
Once you have your license key, EDB Postgres Advanced container images will be available at https://quay.io/repository/enterprisedb/edb-postgres-advanced
You can then use EDB Postgres Advanced Server by setting in the spec section of the Cluster deployment configuration file:
imageNameto point to the quay.io/enterprisedb/edb-postgres-advanced repositorylicenseKeyto your license key (in the form of a string)
To see how imageName and licenseKey is set, refer to the cluster-full-example file from the configuration samples section.
