Hi,
Thanks for your answer!
Can you elaborate a bit on this part:
" Because of how Postgres caches changes, you may find that a failover requires some time in recovery mode."
Thanks!

Because of how Postgres caches changes, you may find that a failover requires some time in recovery mode. Those VM
snapshotsystems are great, but they aren't quite perfect if they don't know what is being done with the data on the
drives.
Whether it's good enough depends heavily on what your expectation is.
Before trusting it to meet your needs, I would spend some time simulating failures and seeing what actually happens.
