Examples Catalog

A collection of YAML manifests and configuration examples for various common deployment scenarios and resource management tasks.

The examples catalog contains a number of sample manifests that aim to show the operator functionality in a practical way. Follow these instructions for getting started:

• Download the examples catalog:

curl -sLO https://operator.mariadb.com/examples/manifests.tar.gz
mkdir -p examples
tar -xzf manifests.tar.gz -C examples
