Percona Expands Support for Cloud Native Applications and Hybrid Multi-Cloud Environments with the Percona Cloud Native Autonomous Database Initiative

New Product Releases Offering Increased Support for Kubernetes, MyRocks and Public Cloud Platforms Make It Easier for Organizations to Manage Data in the Cloud


AUSTIN, Texas, May 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PERCONA LIVE OPEN SOURCE DATABASE CONFERENCE Percona, a leader in open source database software and services, today announced the Percona Cloud Native Autonomous Database Initiative, a series of product releases that expand support for cloud native applications and make it easier for organizations to manage their hybrid multi-cloud environments. The Percona Cloud Native Autonomous Database Initiative includes Percona Kubernetes Operator for XtraDB Cluster and Percona Kubernetes Operator for Percona Server for MongoDB which provide fully tested, OpenShift-certified configurations of Percona XtraDB Cluster and Percona Server for MongoDB to ensure reliability and consistency in containerized environments. Percona XtraBackup for MySQL 8.0.6 adds support for the MyRocks storage engine and the ability to save backups to Amazon S3, MiniIO, or Google Cloud, further increasing application performance and reliability in the cloud.

The database has long been a problem when building a true cloud native application. Operators act as the brains behind running your own portable Database as a Service in Kubernetes. With Percona Kubernetes Operators, you can add or remove nodes from your cluster, enabling you to scale your database like you scale your applications. Percona Kubernetes Operators open up a whole new world of automation and ensure you have a consistent and portable environment across all platforms. You get the same environment and consistency no matter if you are on premises, in a public or private cloud, or a hybrid.

Percona Kubernetes Operator for XtraDB Cluster and Percona Kubernetes Operator for Percona Server for MongoDB – Percona Kubernetes Operators make it easier to deploy, manage and scale Percona XtraDB Cluster and Percona Server for MongoDB environments. Percona Kubernetes Operators allow companies to orchestrate data across complex environments. For example, Operators can be used to automate a variety of tasks, including failure recovery, backup and scaling. Percona XtraBackup and Percona Monitoring and Management are included in the Operator configurations, enabling users to protect data while gaining additional insight into the workings of their database. The Operators are also OpenShift certified, increasing user confidence in the reliability and functionality of the solutions.

Percona XtraBackup for MySQL 8.0.6 – Percona XtraBackup for MySQL 8.0.6 adds support for the MyRocks storage engine and the ability to save backups to Amazon S3, MiniIO, or Google Cloud. The MyRocks storage engine delivers enhanced storage endurance and optimizes storage utilization. The ability to backup data to cloud-based locations supports an organization’s migration to the cloud by providing high performance, reliability and security for cloud-based backups at a lower cost.
