MariaDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator

Enhanced Disaster Recovery & Resilience

Dramatically reduce your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) with high-speed, non-blocking physical backups orchestrated by the operator. Leverage native MariaDB tools or Kubernetes Volume Snapshots to ensure fast, reliable recovery from failures with minimal impact on production workloads.

Enterprise Support

Gain peace of mind and reliable operations with MariaDB Enterprise Server and MaxScale deployments, supported on the last three minor versions of CNCF-certified Kubernetes distributions and validated with the latest Red Hat OpenShift EUS versions (including 4.16). Annual LTS releases for the Enterprise Kubernetes Operator provide long-term stability and a predictable upgrade path.

Automate Full Lifecycle Management

Drastically reduce manual effort and human error by automating operations, including high-availability configurations, zero-downtime rolling upgrades, database parameters and backup/restore schedule

Deploy Anywhere with Confidence

Standardize database deployment across any public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises environment, now including support for IBM Power (ppc64le) alongside x86_64 and arm64 architectures. The operator provides a consistent, repeatable process managed through infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles.

Enhanced Security & Compliance

Meet stringent security and compliance requirements in regulated environments. Leverage fully customizable certificate lifecycles, advanced private key algorithms and strict TLS enforcement.

Observability

Gain proactive insight into database health and performance. The operator natively exports Prometheus metrics for both MariaDB Enterprise Server and MaxScale, enabling rich visualization in Grafana dashboards and real-time alerting.

Kubernetes Deployment

Deploy complex, production-ready MariaDB topologies like MariaDB Enterprise Cluster and MaxScale using simple declarative files.

Automated security

Streamline adherence to strict regulations with intelligent automation of security configurations, including customizable TLS certificates and key management, reducing manual overhead and potential errors.

High Availability and Scalability

Automate scaling to ensure continuous application availability with built-in high availability configurations for your MariaDB Enterprise Platform deployments.

Hybrid Cloud Management

Achieve operational consistency and avoid vendor lock-in by managing your MariaDB Enterprise databases uniformly across public clouds, private clouds and on-premises environments.
