MySQL

Let's see how to run MySQL in a Kubernetes cluster with MySQL Operator for Kubernetes.

Configuration

We'll use the official Helm chart (code):

values.yaml

Deployment

bash

# adds Helm chart repository
helm repo add mysql-operator https://mysql.github.io/mysql-operator/
helm repo update

# installs
helm upgrade --install mysql-operator mysql-operator/mysql-operator --namespace mysql --create-namespace

# checks everything is ok
kubectl get pod -n mysql

# uninstalls
helm uninstall mysql -n mysql
kubectl delete ns mysql
