Role Name: pg_cluster

A database cluster using Postgres (11), Pgpool2 (4.0) and Debian (10).

The cluster has 3 nodes. Each node runs Pgpool2 and Postgres. Pgpool2 and Postgres have two roles each. For Postgres, those roles are: primary and standby. For Pgpool2, those roles are: active and stanby. Pgpool and Postgres roles are independent. However, the first node starts with both, active (pgpool2) and primary(postgres). It has a Floating IP. The rest of nodes have standby role (pgpool and postgres).
