Oracle offers a variety of SDKs for interacting with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources. In this post we discuss how to list the backups of MySQL HeatWave instances in a given compartment.

If you use MySQL Shell for Visual Studio Code, using a bastion host is the easiest method to connect to a MySQL HeatWave DB Instance on OCI.

If you already have a connection setup using a bastion to host, you may experience the same problem as me, MySQL Shell complains about an invalid fingerprint detected:

This error has nothing to do with the fingerprint of your user OCI Key. The problem is related to the key of your bastion host as you can see in the output window:

This happens if you have changed your bastion host for example.

To resolve the problem, remove the current ssh host key for the bastion host stored in your know_hosts:

$ ssh-keygen -R "host.bastion.us-ashburn-1.oci.oraclecloud.com"

Use the name of your bastion host of course.

When done, it’s already fixed, you can connect back to your MySQL HeatWave DB Instance using MySQL Shell …

This post is the fourth in a series that will demonstrate how to view and manage MySQL HeatWave instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Oracle offers several SDKs that can be used to view and manage resources in OCI. In this post, we will discuss how to leverage the TypeScript/JavaScript SDK to retrieve a list of MySQL HeatWave backups for a given compartment […]

In our last post, we looked into the lifecycle of applications in Kubernetes. We see that Kubernetes doesn’t handle database backups itself. This is where Kubernetes Operators come into action. They add additional functions to Kubernetes, enabling it to set up, configure, and manage complex applications like databases within a Kubernetes environment for the user.In […]

This is the fourth article in our series about MySQL NDB Cluster replication. We’ve now got so far into the details that data can not only be replicated from one cluster to the other but also back to the first again, we call this circular replication and it enables locating clusters in disparate places to […]
