The MySQL Operator for Kubernetes supports the lifecycle of a MySQL InnoDB Cluster inside a Kubernetes Cluster. This blog post will introduce you to the recently added MySQL InnoDBCluster ClusterSet support added to the Operator in the 9.3.0-2.2.4 version. The EE Helm charts will be used as the ClusterSet support is a part of the MySQL Operator for Kubernetes Enterprise Edition.

MySQL Operator for Kubernetes? The MySQL Operator for Kubernetes supports the lifecycle of a MySQL InnoDB Cluster inside a Kubernetes Cluster. This goes from simplifying the deployment of MySQL Server and MySQL Router instances, including management of TLS certificates and replication setup, over ongoing management of those as well as support for backups, be it […]

In this blog post the MySQL Operator for Kubernetes will be explored by using the operator Helm charts. Scenarios of simple Operator installation and creation of MySQL InnoDBClusters will be shown. Advanced topics, like usage of air-gapped container registry will also be presented.
