Charmed MySQL Documentation
This is IAAS/VM operator. To deploy in K8s, use Charmed MySQL K8s.
The Charmed MySQL Operator delivers automated operations management from day 0 to day 2 on the MySQL Community Edition relational database. It is an open source, end-to-end, production-ready data platform on top of Juju.
MySQL is the world’s most popular open source database. A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big storeroom. The database structure is organized into physical files optimized for speed. The logical data model, with objects such as data tables, views, rows, and columns, offers a flexible programming environment.
This MySQL operator charm comes in two flavours to deploy and operate MySQL on physical/virtual machines and Kubernetes. Both offer features such as replication, TLS, password rotation, and easy to use integration with applications. The Charmed MySQL Operator meets the need of deploying MySQL in a structured and consistent manner while allowing the user flexibility in configuration. It simplifies deployment, scaling, configuration and management of MySQL in production at scale in a reliable way.
