CloudNativePG 1.22.1, 1.21.3 and 1.20.6 Released!

The **CloudNativePG Community** The CloudNativePG Community is excited to
announce a new update for the **CloudNativePG Operator*, now available for the
supported 1.22, 1.21, and 1.20 versions.

Key enhancements in all supported minor releases are:

- Customize ephemeral volume storage for a PostgreSQL cluster using a claim
template
- Introduce the `pgadmin4` command in the `cnpg` plugin for `kubectl` to
swiftly set up a demonstration-only interface for PgAdmin4. This is the most
popular GUI for PostgreSQL, facilitating easy connection to a designated
Postgres Cluster
- Add support for PostgreSQL's ident map file configuration

**Versions 1.22.1, 1.21.3 and 1.20.6** are *patch releases* that include
essential bug fixes, addressing issues such as:

- Prevention of an unrecoverable problem with `pg_rewind` caused by
`postgresql.auto.conf` being read-only due to the disabled alter system
option
- Reduction of the risk of disk space shortage when using the import facility
of the `initdb` bootstrap method

With this update, version 1.20 has reached End-of-Life (EOL). Version 1.20.6
marks the final release for the 1.20 minor version.

We highly recommend updating the operator at your earliest convenience to
benefit from these improvements and bug fixes.

# About CloudNativePg

[CloudNativePG](https://cloudnative-pg.io) is an open source Kubernetes
Operator for PostgreSQL workloads that orchestrates the full life cycle of a
PostgreSQL cluster, from bootstrapping and configuration, through high
availability and connection routing, to backups and disaster recovery.
CloudNativePG relies on PostgreSQL’s native streaming replication to distribute
data across pods, nodes, and zones, using standard Kubernetes patterns.
Replicas can be scaled up and down in a Kubernetes native manner, and the
operator automatically and safely reconfigure replication as appropriate.
[CloudNativePG is a project originally created and supported by EDB](https://www.enterprisedb.com/products/cloud-native-postgresql-kubernetes-ha-clusters-k8s-containers-scalable).
