Are you a systems admin or “infrastructure person” who suddenly had “looking after databases” added to your remit? This seems to happen a lot when everything’s running on Kubernetes and the databases are seen as just another part of the landscape. If so, what do you do? Quickly learn to be a database administrator? Hope the databases look after themselves? Or maybe implement a Kubernetes Operator, that has been created by database experts, to act as your virtual DBA? There are lots of moving parts to an enterprise scale database deployment, whether it’s on Kubernetes or not. You need high availability, disaster recovery, monitoring, upgrades… An Operator can do all of this for you, automating the initial deployment of a highly available database architecture, day to day management and monitoring of your databases, and even upgrades. We’ll look at what you want from an Operator, what you need to think about when choosing an Operator, and how easy it can be to get up and running.
