MySQL / MariaDB¶

MySQL is a popular open-source relational database. MariaDB is an alternative database that was forked from MySQL that is mostly 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. This server can be used for database reads to reduce the load on the primary instance and in case of a failure of the primary server, can be used as a 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 wan periodic dumping of data to the filesystem of the instance. This is good in conjunction with backup as it will guarantee the database integrity in case of a need to restore. This is recommended.

• 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.
