Democratizing MySQL: From Cloud Managed to Kubernetes Managed

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

Platform9 migrates from RDS to a Kubernetes-managed MySQL service using Presslabs’ open-source MySQL Operator, replacing API calls to RDS with CRDs and automating automated S3 backups, restore and snapshot workflows. The stack runs Percona Server with Percona toolkit, an Orchestrator integration reconciliation loop, a PV cleaner for scaledown, and a manual on-delete upgrade policy to control rolling updates. Production rollout targets ~300 databases with 3-node clusters (1 master + 2 replicas); it’s already running noncritical workloads and proving cost and availability improvements.
