A new [PostgreSQL](https://devtalk.com/postgresql) blog post/announcement has been posted!

> [@](#):
>
> Stormatics is excited to announce the release of pg\_cirrus v2.0, bringing major improvements to high availability cluster automation for Postgres. pg\_cirrus was developed to help you automate the deployment of a 3-node Postgres cluster via Pgpool and save time required to set up a cluster manually while ensuring reliability. This release builds on feedback from real-world deployments and delivers greater resilience, faster setup, and improved operational visibility, ready for production.
> 
> ### Highlights of the release
> 
> #### 1. True High Availability with Watchdog-Enabled Clusters
> 
> Deploy a three-node PostgreSQL cluster with Pgpool running on all nodes, removing the single point of failure present in previous setups. With pg\_cirrus v2.0, if one Pgpool node goes down, the cluster continues to operate seamlessly, ensuring uninterrupted service.
> 
> #### 2. Service-Enabled Docker Container Support
> 
> You can run pg\_cirrus inside lightweight, minimal-size service-enabled Docker containers for much faster deployments than full OS installations. Service integration allows for simple start/stop management, making it easier to operate in containerized environments.
> 
> #### 3. Enhanced Logging for Easier Troubleshooting
> 
> Improved pg\_cirrus logging capabilities provide richer insights into deployment steps, making it easier to monitor and troubleshoot the cluster during deployment.
> 
> ### Supported PostgreSQL Versions
> 
> PostgreSQL 17, 16, 15, 14, and 13
> 
> ### Supported Platforms
> 
> - Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04
> - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
> 
> ### Get the Release
