Last year, in March 2022, our MySQL Operator for Kubernetes became Generally Available. Since then, several new features were added to our operator and along with the release of MySQL Server 8.0.32 comes a new release of our MySQL Operator for Kubernetes 8.0.32-2.0.8.
The goal of the MySQL Operator for Kubernetes is to provide an easy way to deploy a MySQL Database service in kubernetes environments, with built-in features such as:
- High availability using MySQL Server, MySQL Router, MySQL Group Replication and MySQL InnoDB Cluster
- Self-healing: Automatic recovery of most failure scenarios by reprovisioning database members as needed.
- Automatic rolling upgrades to new MySQL versions
- Scale up/down of server and routers
- Built-in Backup and recovery support.
