MySQL / MariaDB¶

MySQL is a popular open source relational database. MariaDB is an alternative database that forked from MySQL that is similar but has diverged a bit through the years.

Binero cloud enables you to provision either MySQL or MariaDB (or both) as a standalone installation or with replication.

If you select with replication, an auxiliary instance will be setup that will copy all writes. You can use this server for database reads to reduce the load on the primary instance and in case of an outage of the primary server, use it as the new primary server.

To setup the service, first follow the general instructions on our Service catalog page.

• Give your service a name and optionally a description.

• Select which availability zone you want to provision in. We recommend the europe-se-1a availability zone.

• If you want backup, check the Backup checkbox and select an amount of days you want your history stored.

• Check Database dump checkbox if you want periodic dumping of data to the file system of the instance. This is good in conjunction with backup as it will guarantee the database integrity in case of a need to restore, we recommended that you enable this.

• Select your instance flavor. We recommend sticking with the default.

• Select disk-type. See the Storage types article for more information.

• Select your SSH-key.

• Under Local network, select the network on which you want to run the service.

• Check the Replication checkbox if you want to have a auxiliary instance setup (see above).

• Press Create. You will get further details on how to connect to the service.
