`--master` option for `gitlab-ctl patroni failover` and `switchover`

September 17th, 2026 12:00 AM

The --master option of the gitlab-ctl patroni failover and gitlab-ctl patroni switchover commands is deprecated and will be removed in GitLab 20.0. Both commands accept --leader as of GitLab 19.4, which matches the option name that patronictl uses. To migrate, replace --master with --leader in scripts and runbooks that call these commands. The option accepts the same value: the name of the current leader node. Until removal, --master keeps its behavior and prints a deprecation warning.

Your DevOps Pipeline Is Already a Sustainability Program

September 4th, 2026 07:57 PM

During my doctoral research on modern engineering practices and operational efficiency, one pattern kept surfacing that I did not expect to find.
