Automated MySQL MariaDB tables optimization in Kubernetes

Sat, 26 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Kubernetes simplified applications management a lot and this also applies to databases like MySQL/MariaDB, but lot of DevOps forget to apply traditional maintenance and optimization which is still necessary unless you are using some operator capable of doing so. The optimization method that will be described here applies just to single and master-slave replicated MySQL/MariaDB instances. If you run some clustered version like Galera , you probably have to find another way because of possible consistence and performance problems during the eventual optimization. This method would still work but you may have unpredictable consequences.
