file that is generated for a new Greenplum cluster. For example, the following configuration enables thegpadmin
andgpuser
accounts to access the Greenplum cluster from any external client address:masterAndStandby: # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD hostBasedAuthentication: | host all gpadmin 0.0.0.0/0 trust host all gpuser 0.0.0.0/0 md5

Known Issues and Limitations
- Pivotal Greenplum for Kubernetes is an experimental product and is not intended for use in a production environment. Experimental features are subject to change without notice in future releases.
- The Greenplum Operator does not yet support changing attribute values of a deployed Greenplum cluster. In order to change attributes such as the number of segments in the cluster, the cluster name, or segment resource usage, you must delete the cluster and then redeploy using the changed values.
- In order to install Greenplum Database package (
.gppkg
) files, such as MADLib, with thegppkg
utility, you must first install thealien
utility onto Greenplum hosts (for example,sudo apt-get install alien
). - Certain Greenplum resources that are created during deployment are not yet labeled for convenient management with
kubectl
. This includes Greenplumsecret
objects,ConfigMap
,Services
