In the last few years, enterprise development teams have been focused on reducing the cost of production-grade applications while improving the velocity and agility of development. That’s led to massive public and private cloud adoption – and deployment of databases in containers. To address this growing need, we’ve released new Docker images and Kubernetes scripts that make it easy to deploy and manage MariaDB databases. Now organizations can focus on building their applications rather than on managing and optimizing container infrastructure.

New – MariaDB Docker Images, Kubernetes Scripts & Sandbox Environments
We’ve released certified Docker images and enabled customers to seamlessly deploy MariaDB servers in Kubernetes and Docker environments. We are delivering three standalone Docker images (one each for MariaDB Server, ColumnStore and MaxScale) and two sandboxes (one for MariaDB AX and one for MariaDB TX). Customers can deploy the standalone Docker images in a standard Docker environment or create complex topologies in Kubernetes environment using YAML scripts.
For someone just getting started with MariaDB or wanting to learn the capabilities offered, the sandboxes will enable them to easily experiment with MariaDB AX and TX. Sandboxes are self-contained, with all the documentation needed to quickly bring up TX or AX and experiment with sample apps (bookstore in the case of TX, and Zeppelin notebook in the case of AX). You have the flexibility to quickly deploy them on a laptop or desktop using Docker Compose to immediately run sample applications.
We’ve also released a Kubernetes script to create a master/slave (one master + two slaves) cluster with MaxScale at the front end. (This script will be showcased in the webinar on Oct. 9.) Now customers can deploy MariaDB TX with MaxScale easily in high availability mode. The script deploys the master/slave cluster in such a way that when the master fails one of the slaves will be automatically promoted as the new master. Kubernetes will try to bring up the pod and maintain the configuration integrity. When the old master comes back it will automatically become a slave. The script also supports expanding the number of slave nodes easily, using a simple command.
