Ability to set service externalTrafficPolicy & internalTrafficPolicy to Local about postgres-operator

[benjaminjb]

Hi, sorry you're running into this, and I can definitely see how it would be necessary to adjust the services that PGO creates.

That said, for a short-term fix, could you create/manage services directly? That way you could define the service with exactly the specs that you need. (You could completely ignore the PGO-provided services or use them as models for your services, e.g., what selectors the service needs, etc.)

I've just had another idea, but not sure it will work: PGO doesn't directly edit the externalTrafficPolicy and internalTrafficPolicy fields -- can you edit the fields of the services? And does PGO overwrite those fields if you do?

Thank you @benjaminjb
Yes that what I am using as a workaround at the moment as PGO does not update internalTrafficPolicy/externalTrafficPolicy. The only problem, it complicates the setup with CD tools such as Flux, so hoping this can be added in the future releases.

Just noting here that we have a story in our development backlog for this ability.
