Percona Operator for MySQL Now Supports Automated Volume Expansion in Technical Preview

Volume Expansion, a feature that became generally available since Kubernetes version 1.24, allows users to increase the capacity of their Persistent Volumes and underlying storage within Kubernetes. There is no need to use clouds’ UI or APIs to do that anymore. In our Operators, we use Stateful Sets – a Kubernetes resource that was designed for […]

MySQL Shell for VS Code – Bastion Host & Invalid fingerprint detected

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 …

Backing up and Restoring to AWS S3 With Percona Kubernetes Operators

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 […]

Deploying MySQL on OCI using OpenTofu

I could have set MySQL between parenthesis in the title as this article is more about how to use OpenTofu to deploy on OCI.

I will explain how to install OpenTofu and how to use it to deploy on OCI. I will also mention what are the required changes be able to use my previous Terraform deployment files.

As an example, let’s use the modules to deploy WordPress with MySQL HeatWave Database Service: oci-wordpress-mds.

Installing OpenTofu

If like me you are using a RPM based Linux distro, you can find the necessary information to create the yum repository on OpenTofu’s website:

$ sudo su -
# cat >/etc/yum.repos.d/opentofu.repo <<EOF
[opentofu]

JSON in MySQL HeatWave: why is data or my query not off-loaded to HeatWave Cluster ?

We recently saw that we can benefit from using JSON documents with MySQL HeatWave cluster in OCI (HeatWave accelerator for MySQL Database Service).

However sometimes the data can’t be loaded to HeatWave Cluster or the query cannot use it.

And this is not always easy to understand why. Let’s get familiar on how to find the info.

Data not loaded in HW Cluster

Let’s see an example with this table (collection):

SQL > show create table listingsAndReviews\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: listingsAndReviews
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `listingsAndReviews` (
  `doc` json DEFAULT NULL,
  `_id` char(28) GENERATED ALWAYS AS
 (json_unquote(json_extract(`doc`,_utf8mb4'$._id'))) STORED NOT NULL,
  `_json_schema` json GENERATED ALWAYS AS 
  (_utf8mb4'{"type":"object"}') VIRTUAL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`_id`),
  CONSTRAINT `$val_strict_B70EB65BDDBAB20B0EE5BB7532C9060C422A06F8` …

WordPress in OCI with MySQL HeatWave Read Replicas and MySQL Router R/W Splitting

Some time ago, we saw how we could deploy WordPress on OCI using MySQL HeatWave Database Service with Read Replicas. We had to modify WordPress to use a specific plugin that configures the Read/Write Splitting on the application (WordPress): LudicrousDB.

Today, we will not modify WordPress to split the Read and Write operations, but we will use MySQL Router 8.2.0 (see [1], [2], [3]).
