Manage Database Clusters Without a Dedicated Operator on Kubernetes


This is a joint talk delievered by ApeCloud and China Mobile Cloud on KubeCon China 2024. This tallk introduces why and how KubeBlocks is created and how China Mobile Cloud run its cloud database without a dedicated operator.

When we talk about "Mange Database", it usually refers to: provisioning, scaling (either horizontally or vertically), backup and restore, configuration (especially for parameters and for performance tuning), minor version upgrading, volume expansion, and monitoring. Building from the ground up leads to a lot of redundant work, and even if some logic is similar to other database engine operators, it cannot be effectively reused. Additionally, KubeBlocks also includes extensible mechanisms, allowing specific database engine management operations to seamlessly integrate into the overall framework.
