The Percona Cloud Native staff is glad to announce the overall availability of the Percona Operator for MySQL, primarily based on Percona Server for MySQL. This launch introduces an extra Kubernetes-native method to deploying and managing MySQL clusters with synchronous Group Replication, delivering the consistency required for organizations with enterprise continuity wants.
With this launch, Percona continues to assist companies modernize their database infrastructure on Kubernetes for organizations working transactional programs, customer-facing platforms, and multi-regional companies, the place constant knowledge, excessive availability, and operational continuity are non-negotiable.Â
Asynchronous replication is at the moment in technical preview and out there for the neighborhood to check in real-world environments and supply suggestions, serving to information its improvement. Percona will proceed to give attention to additional enhancements to allow geo-distributed clusters and hybrid cloud deployments, supporting world utility efficiency, enterprise continuity, and versatile distributed architectures.
Extra use instances for cloud native neighborhood
Percona now gives two open supply MySQL Operators, and our aim is to align with real-world workloads, the place every replication mannequin serves totally different enterprise priorities:
- Percona Operator for MySQL (primarily based on Percona Server for MySQL) – supporting MySQL native replication, together with Group Replication and asynchronous modes.
- Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) Operator – utilizing Galera-based synchronous replication, identified for its strict excessive availability and automated failover capabilities.
Each operators will proceed to be actively developed and supported. The brand new Operator is just not a alternative, however an enlargement, enabling Percona to fulfill a wider vary of deployment eventualities, from high-throughput workloads to mission-critical functions that demand zero knowledge loss.
Roadmap
Subsequent steps for the Percona Operator for MySQL (primarily based on Percona Server for MySQL) embrace enhanced backup and restore capabilities, incremental backups, encrypted backups, and PVC snapshots. These enhancements are designed to simplify catastrophe restoration workflows, automate scheduled backups, and replicate backup copies throughout areas.
Getting began with the brand new Operator
Neighborhood members are inspired to attempt the brand new Operator, take a look at it of their environments, and contribute to improvement. Each Operators stay open supply, and neighborhood collaboration will information future enhancements.
