Please, answer some short questions which should help us to understand your problem / question better?

  • Which image of the operator are you using? registry.opensource.zalan.do/acid/postgres-operator:v1.8.0

  • Where do you run it - cloud or metal? Kubernetes or OpenShift? GCP

  • Are you running Postgres Operator in production? yes

  • Type of issue? feature request

Hello when using WAL archiving and physical basebackups, the gcp_credentials are mandatory even when the Kubernetes service account is already authenticated to gcp using Workload Identity

It would be better in my opinion to still try to fetch the resources and fallback to gcp_credentials in case of failure.

Is there any reason to authenticate the pods using this method instead of the Workload Identity ?
