About

The Percona Kubernetes Operator for Percona XtraDB Cluster or Percona Server for MongoDB automates the creation, alteration, or deletion of members in your Percona XtraDB Cluster or Percona Server for MongoDB environment. It can be used to instantiate a new Percona XtraDB Cluster or Percona Server for MongoDB replica set, or to scale an existing environment. The Operator contains all necessary Kubernetes settings to provide a proper and consistent Percona XtraDB Cluster or Percona Server for MongoDB instance. The Percona Kubernetes Operators are based on best practices for configuration and setup of a Percona XtraDB Cluster or Percona Server for MongoDB replica set. The benefits of the Operator are many but saving time and delivering a consistent and vetted environment is key.

About

kMetal is a bare metal Kubernetes platform from Clastix. It provisions physical servers, provides virtualization natively through kernel-based KVM, manages software-defined tenant networking, and builds and rolls out immutable node operating systems, all declared as Kubernetes resources. Platform teams use it to deliver self-service Kubernetes clusters on hardware they own, with no separate hypervisor layer underneath. Each tenant receives a dedicated control plane, an isolated network, and enforced quotas. kMetal is assembled from established open source cloud native projects with no proprietary forks, and the clusters it delivers are CNCF-conformant upstream Kubernetes.

Audience

Clastix is built for organizations that run Kubernetes at scale and need to manage many clusters without the operational overhead or cost of hyperscaler alternatives. The best fit is managed and cloud service providers (MSPs/CSPs) who want to offer Kubernetes-as-a-service to their own customers without building that infrastructure from scratch. It also suits enterprise infrastructure and platform teams running large, multi-tenant environments who need to consolidate cluster sprawl, cut operational costs, and provision new environments in minutes rather than days. Beyond that, it's a strong match for infrastructure-intensive and regulated industries such as telecom and connectivity providers, finance, gaming, and manufacturing, as well as AI/HPC and GPU infrastructure operators who need multi-tenant, high-performance Kubernetes environments, and edge computing deployments that require low-latency, distributed control planes. In short: any organization that wants full control of its Kubernetes infrastructure — avoiding vendor lock-in — while still getting the self-service, multi-tenant experience of a public cloud.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like the system overall performance, easy to load and access features. Secondly, support is provides necessary information in time
  • It's very easy to use and can do fast deployment. Reliable and fully automated with high available DB lifecycle management solution.
  • Great tool to simplify complex Kubernetes deployments, Percona XtraBackup enables synchronous multi-primary replication.
  • Easy and fast deployment. A reliable, fully automated, high-available db lifecycle management solution. As they say "The Operator simplifies the deployment and management of the Percona XtraDB Cluster in Kubernetes-based environments", 100% accurate!
  • It is very handy in single region cluster scenario like single EKS or GKE cluster. You have proxysql or haproxy configured which I like very much.

Cons

  • Verification of an account takes long and only verified accounts can access all services
  • No cons, Deployment and management are excellent and 100% accurate!
  • The tool is new and isn't very flexible if moving form an existing technology so it would be better to check compatibility before using this.
  • Percona XtraDB Cluster have some differences compared to "traditional" MySQL solution, so be sure to check these out before implementing the technology. We had some hard times trying to use it combined with pre-existing techs like WordPress, Magento, etc. Also the k8s environment features can have an impact on it, like the storage solutions. Be sure to match the requirements with the specific use case.
  • I tried to use in multi region clusters but it does not support it. So I had to setup everything without operator on more than one cluster.
