A major milestone for the Kubernetes + MySQL community!
Hi everyone!
As many of you know, we’ve been working on the new Percona Operator for MySQL for almost two years. It has been a long journey filled with deep engineering work, collaboration across teams, and constant iteration based on community feedback.
Today, we’re incredibly happy to share that the Percona Operator for MySQL (based on Percona Server for MySQL) is now General Availability (GA) 
.
This release is an important milestone for the entire cloud-native MySQL community because it brings native MySQL replication to Kubernetes, including Group Replication (synchronous) and Asynchronous replication. Together with our existing Percona Operator for MySQL Based on Percona XtraDB Cluster (Galera-based synchronous replication), Percona now supports all major MySQL replication models on Kubernetes.
What does this mean for our community?
-
More choice
-
Better alignment with upstream MySQL
-
Support for more real-world architectures: strong consistency, global reads, hybrid cloud, and multi-region deployments
-
Two fully open source operators that serve different workloads and business priorities
Thank you to everyone who contributed ideas, feedback, testing, bug reports, and support throughout this journey. This release was a community effort.
We’re excited to see what you build with it, and as always, your feedback will help shape the next steps. Explore Percona Operator for MySQL :
