Managed PostgreSQL
on your cloud
When you use Canonical’s managed PostgreSQL, you benefit from optimized configurations for all the supported clouds. We can offer managed PostgreSQL on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, whether on top of VMs or on top of their managed Kubernetes offerings. We can also operate PostgreSQL in your private data center on top of MAAS and MicroCloud, Kubernetes, OpenStack or VMWare.
Why choose Canonical’s
Managed PostgreSQL

We provide uptime guarantees backed by an SLA for peace of mind. Our expertise on the full stack from the kernel up to the application underpins our SLA commitments.

Secure and compliant
Our operations are certified, with regular independent audits for your assurance.
Our process
Our Managed PostgreSQL process is easy and intuitive:

Our experts will work with you to understand your requirements and to define the design of the PostgreSQL deployments to meet your needs.
2. Deployment
We will deploy the agreed PostgreSQL clusters according to the documented design.
3. Management
Our team manages all your ‘day 2’ operations, from observability to upgrades. We handle all issues, and consistently reinforce the security of your environment.
