Fortunately MySQL NDB Cluster already has auto-healing, data distribution, instant scaling and many other features built-in - making it a perfect fit for Cloud Native. This session walks through the few steps necessary to deploy a distributed NDB setup in a Kubernetes cluster manually or with an operator. NDB runs in Kubernetes serving mission critical microservices at the heart of Cloud Native production systems. The experience from these adventures mix with knowledge gained from building an NDB operator from scratch. Boiled down to a few tips and tricks are hopefully helpful to guide around the usual traps running NDB or any database in Kubernetes.
