This topic provides an overview of VMware SQL with MySQL for Kubernetes (VMware MySQL Operator).
About VMware MySQL Operator
VMware MySQL Operator is a Kubernetes Operator that automates provisioning, management, and operations of dedicated MySQL instances running on Kubernetes. Applications running on Kubernetes can use MySQL instances deployed using the Operator. By default, VMware MySQL instances are provisioned with secure and functional settings to meet application developer expectations for a general-use relational database.
VMware MySQL Operator packages a collection of open-source software to deploy and manage one or more instances of the MySQL database. It includes the following components:
The major features of VMware MySQL Operator include:
- Flexible MySQL instances deployment, by choosing a database version from the supported MySQL versions of the VMware MySQL Operator.
- MySQL instances upgrades.
- Single instance or High Availability (HA)
- Backup and restore, including on demand and scheduled backups to S3-compatible blob stores.
- TLS for client and intra-cluster connections.
- Compatibility with the Restricted Pod Security Standard.

About MySQL 8.0
MySQL is a powerful open-source relational database in use since the mid-90s. Developers have relied on MySQL as a first step to storing, processing, and sharing data. As its user community has grown, MySQL has become a robust system capable of handling a wide variety of use cases and very significant workloads. Unlike other traditional databases that centralize and consolidate data, MySQL lends itself to dedicated deployment, which supports building "cloud native" apps.
The major features of MySQL 8.0 include:
- Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC)
- Tablespaces
- Asynchronous replication
- Nested transactions (savepoints)
- Online/hot backups
- Redo logging for fault tolerance
- Crash-safe DDL
- Unicode
- NoSQL Document Store interface
- Native JSON datatype
- Native Geographic Information System (GIS) support
