Percona Server for MySQL is a free, fully compatible, enhanced, and open source drop-in replacement for any MySQL database. It provides superior performance, scalability, and instrumentation.

Based on our best practices for deployment and configuration, Percona Distribution for MySQL Operator based on Percona Server for MySQL contains everything you need to quickly and consistently deploy and scale MySQL instances in a Kubernetes-based environment on-premises or in the cloud. It provides the following capabilities:

• Deploy asynchronous and semi-sync replication MySQL clusters with Orchestrator on top of it
• Expose clusters with regular Kubernetes Services
• Monitor the cluster with Percona Monitoring and Management
• Customize MySQL configuration
• Manage system user passwords

This project is in the tech preview state right now. Don't use it on production.

Our goal is to release the GA version late in Q2’2022. We plan to include the following:

• Support for both sync and async replication
• Backups and restores, proxies integration
• Exceptional quality and full test coverage
• Certifications on various Kubernetes platforms and flavors

Percona Operators are based on the Operator SDK and leverage Kubernetes primitives to follow best CNCF practices.

It usually takes two steps to deploy Percona Server for MySQL on Kubernetes:

• Deploy the operator from deploy/bundle.yaml
• Deploy the database cluster itself from deploy/cr.yaml
