Running AG extensions in a Kubernetes cluster?

[AntonioSousa]

I have a EKS cluster where I want to execute SQL queries to get metrics.

The EKS ActiveGate is containerized, so doesn't support extensions. Deploying another ActiveGate might be a possibility, but was wondering if other approaches are possible? Ideas?

Hi,

Maybe Prometheus SQL exporter? Maybe it would be overkill, not sure. Just if you have already Prometheus.

Best regards

Running extensions in containerised ActiveGates is on the roadmap.
In the meantime, the recommended solution is to expose the DB port and query the DB from outside the cluster from a non-containerised AG.
