Percona XtraDB Cluster Operator is an open-source drop in replacement for MySQL Enterprise with synchronous replication running on Kubernetes.
The Percona Kubernetes Operator for Percona XtraDB Cluster automates the creation, alteration, or deletion of members in your Percona XtraDB Cluster environment. It can be used to instantiate a new Percona XtraDB Cluster replica set, or to scale an existing environment. The Operator contains all necessary Kubernetes settings to provide a proper and consistent Percona XtraDB Cluster.
The benefits of the Operator are many but saving time and delivering a consistent and vetted environment is key.
