MySQL as Kubernetes Storage

Kamaji offers the possibility of having a different storage system than ETCD thanks to kine. One of the implementations is MySQL.

Kamaji project is developed using kind, therefore, MySQL (or MariaDB in this case) will be deployed into the local kubernetes cluster in order to be used as storage for the tenants.

There is a Makefile to help with the process:

Full Installation

$ make mariadb

This action will perform all the necessary stuffs to have MariaDB as kubernetes storage backend using kine.

Certificate creation

$ make mariadb-certificates

Communication between kine and the backend is encrypted, therefore, some certificates must be created.

Secret Deployment

$ make mariadb-secrets

Previous certificates and MySQL configuration have to be available in order to be used. They will be under the secret kamaji-system:mysql-config.

Deployment

$ make mariadb-deployment

Uninstall Everything

$ make destroy
