The DB Operator creates databases and make them available in the cluster via Custom Resource.

DB Operator

The DB Operator eases the pain of managing PostgreSQL and MySQL instances for applications running in Kubernetes. The Operator creates databases and make them available in the cluster via Custom Resource. It is designed to support the on demand creation of test environments in CI/CD pipelines.

Features

DB Operator provides following features:

• Create/Delete databases on the database server running outside/inside Kubernetes by creating Database custom resource;
• Create Google Cloud SQL instances by creating DbInstance custom resource;
• Automatically create backup CronJob with defined schedule (limited feature);

Documentations

• How it works - a general overview and definitions
• Creating Instances - make database instances available for the operator
• Creating Databases - creating databases in those instances
• Enabling regular Backup - and schedule cronjob
• Upgrade guide - breaking changes and guide for the upgrade
