I discovered in the UPS APB that if the postgres pod is killed or redeployed the deployment will fail and cause a crash loop.

You can try this yourself by deploying UPS and then deleting the postgres pod once it has started. This should cause the postgres deployment to go into an endless crash loop.

It turns out the reason for this is because the postgres deploymentconfig is specifying the 'Rolling' deployment strategy which is incompatible with postgres. The finer details are described in this issue here: https://github.com/sclorg/postgresql-container/issues/166

We must ensure every APB where postgres is deployed is using the 'Recreate' strategy. The following config should work.

strategy:

    activeDeadlineSeconds: 21600

    recreateParams:

      timeoutSeconds: 600

    resources: {}

    type: Recreate
