PostgreSQL 9.1 on AWS ?
Hello,
I've installed yours Turnkey PostgreSQL on EC2 by using AWS marketplace. Everything is working just fine, but I have some questions after one month of using:
- is it possible to upgrade PostgreSQL to 9.1? This is most crucial for me actually
- can I manage instances of PostgreSQL installed by marketplace with Turnkey Hub? If so, how should I add keys?
- how long after official release does it take to show in marketplace so I can upgrade?
I'm sorry if those questions has been anywhere before, I've tried to search and looked all over the FAQs, but didn't find any answer.
Best,
And I don't understand what you mean when you say that you can't change database to TKL Hub because it's in production... Why can't you migrate to a v13 appliance in the Hub (using TKLBAM as I suggest below)?
The Hub is much more user friendly IMO and will mean that in future you have new versions as soon as they are released by TKL (and not have to wait until Amazon updates the marketplace AMIs).
Here's what I would do for a production system:
I guess it's a bit of mucking around but IMO it is the best way to go if you want PostgreSQL 9.1 now. Reality is that you'll need to follow this (or similar) process within the next 5 months anyway as security updates for Squeeze will end ~April 2014. Installing PSQL into your current appliance will not be as stable and reliable and will cause additional complexity in migrating to TKL v13 later and will basically be wasted effort in the long run...
