Using Azure Service Operator to provision Azure DB for MySQL- Flexible Server from within Kubernetes
Step-by-step guide for using the new Azure Service Operator (ASO) to provision and manage Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server resource from within the Kubernetes plane by using familiar Kubernetes tooling and primitives.Provisioning Azure Database for MySQL - Single Server from AKS
To gain the benefits of using a MySQL database in a Kubernetes application, a common strategy is to provision the database in a container running in a pod. In doing so, the database will use the cluster resources. Accessing the database from other pods in the same AKS cluster running client apps is possible via Kubernetes networking. However, if for some reason cluster resources become unavailable, both the application and the database will be unavailable, as both rely on cluster health. To address this issue, you can substitute the local database in AKS with Azure Database for MySQL, which will separate the database from the AKS cluster.
