8. MySQL InnoDB Cluster Fault Tolerance Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Avoid loss of service by reducing the risk of failures
9. Group Replication Application MySQL Router Primary Secondary Secondary Secondary Secondary Single Primary Mode MySQL InnoDB Cluster MySQL Servers synchronously replicate Secondary servers are read-only MySQL Router sends the write sessions to the primary server only Read-only sessions are distributed by MySQL Router to the secondary servers MySQL Shell provides a full administration interface to the cluster MySQL Shell Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 9
10. Group Replication Application MySQL Router Offline Primary Secondary Secondary Secondary Automated Failover MySQL InnoDB Cluster MySQL Servers group automatically and internally elects a new primary The new primary ensures its consistency and becomes read-write No human intervention needed MySQL Router sends writes to the new primary when ready MySQL Shell Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 10
11. Adding or restoring members MySQL InnoDB Cluster Everything automated or with simple commands using MySQL Shell • New members clone from others (cloning) • Restored members catch up (synchronization) Group Replication Application MySQL Router Primary Secondary Secondary New Node (offline) Secondary Becomes online only once synchronized MySQL Shell Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

13. MySQL is the Natural Choice for Cloud Native • MySQL can perform multiple roles: – Traditional RDBMS (SQL) – JSON Document Store (NoSQL) • MySQL is lightweight, inexpensive and easy to operate – Deploying multiple instances is not a problem • MySQL produces container-ready images – For both Community Edition and Enterprise Edition – MySQL has a Kubernetes Operator making the deployment of HA MySQL containers simplistic • MySQL has connectors for all mainstream programming and scripting languages • MySQL can be consumed as a service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure • MySQL Database Service – the only service to be 100% MySQL – Concentrate on your schema – we do all the rest (support, updates, backup, appropriate config, etc) – Removes complexity of handling state in orchestration environments such as Kubernetes Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

18. Kubernetes A portable, extensible, open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both both declarative configuration and automation Kubernetes Operator Method of automatically deploying and managing a service • Deployment • Configuration • Automated or simplified maintenance • Self-healing • Backup & Restore • Observability • Using Kubernetes custom resources Both MySQL Operator for Kubernetes and MySQL InnoDB Cluster share a common goal to make it easier to deploy, automate, and manage a service Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 19
19. Pod Kubernetes Glossary One or more containers run by Kubernetes working as a unit Think: • Container: atom • Pod: molecule Kubernetes knows a Pod is not running when none of its containers are running Sidecar containers: • Used to make the Pod appear to be running even when the main container is not running • Can be used to execute commands Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 20
20. Deployment and Replicaset Kubernetes Glossary Deployments define in Kubernetes what we want to achieve • They are referred to as the Desired State • The desired state and other definitions are defined in a manifest (yaml file) • Deployments are evolved Replicaset Kubernetes compares the current state with the desired state and attempts to maintain the desired state Pods that are managed by Deployments are: • Not started in a specific order • If a Pod is unhealthy, Kubernetes creates a new one • Pod state is not persisted Run a stateless application using a Deployment Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 21
21. Statefulset Kubernetes Glossary Statefulsets manage the deployment and scaling of a set of Pods, and provide guarantees about the ordering and uniqueness of these Pods Similar to a Deployment with some different characteristics • Pods have a sticky identity with Statefulsets whereas they are anonymous with Replicasets • Pods can be started in specific order • Pods may not be replaced Run a database server group using a Statefulset Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 22
22. Service Kubernetes Glossary Services create the interface between outside of Kubernetes and a Deployment or Statefulset • Manage IP addresses and network names • Provide service information • Perform port mapping • Offer optional connection load-balancing Network access to Kubernetes applications Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 23
23. Persisted Volume Claim (PVC) Kubernetes Storage Pod /var/lib/mysql /backup Persisted Volume Claim (PVC) Persisted Volume Claim (PVC) Persisted Volume (PV) Persisted Volume (PV) Physical Storage Physical Storage optional optional optional optional data PVC (optional) backup PVC (optional) Container Bins & Libs MySQL Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
