# Percona Operator for MySQL based on Percona XtraDB Cluster

[Percona Operator for MySQL based on Percona XtraDB Cluster](https://docs.percona.com/percona-operator-for-mysql/pxc/index.html) (PXC) automates the creation and management of highly available, enterprise-ready MySQL database clusters on Kubernetes.
Within the [Percona Operator for MySQL based on Percona XtraDB Cluster](https://www.percona.com/doc/kubernetes-operator-for-pxc/index.html) we have implemented our best practices for deployment and configuration of Percona XtraDB Cluster instances in a Kubernetes-based environment on-premises or in the cloud. The Operator provides the following capabilities to keep the cluster healthy:
* Easy deployment with no single point of failure
* Load balancing and proxy service with either HAProxy or ProxySQL
* Scheduled and manual backups
* Integrated monitoring with [Percona Monitoring and Management](https://www.percona.com/software/database-tools/percona-monitoring-and-management)
* Smart Update to keep your database software up to date automatically
* Automated Password Rotation – use the standard Kubernetes API to enforce password rotation policies for system user
* Private container image registries
While the Percona Operator is primarily managed through the command line, you can also use **[Percona Everest](https://docs.percona.com/everest/index.html)** for a web-based user interface. This open-source tool provides a streamlined experience for provisioning and managing your databases, simplifying day-to-day tasks and reducing administrative overhead. Learn more about Percona Everest in the [documentation](https://docs.percona.com/everest/index.html) or jump right in with the [quickstart guide](https://docs.percona.com/everest/quickstart-guide/quick-install.html).
# Architecture
Percona Operators are based on the [Operator SDK](https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk) and leverage Kubernetes primitives to follow best CNCF practices.
Please read more about [architecture and design decisions](https://www.percona.com/doc/kubernetes-operator-for-pxc/architecture.html).
## Documentation
To learn more about the Operator, check the [Percona Operator for MySQL based on Percona XtraDB Cluster documentation](https://docs.percona.com/percona-operator-for-mysql/pxc/index.html).
# Quickstart installation
Ready to try out the Operator? Check the [Quickstart tutorial](https://docs.percona.com/percona-operator-for-mysql/pxc/quickstart.html) for easy-to follow steps.
Below is one of the ways to deploy the Operator using `kubectl`.
## kubectl
1. Deploy the Operator from `deploy/bundle.yaml`:
```sh
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator/main/deploy/bundle.yaml
```
2. Deploy the database cluster itself from `deploy/cr.yaml`:
```sh
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/percona/percona-xtradb-cluster-operator/main/deploy/cr.yaml
```
See full documentation with examples and various advanced cases on [percona.com](https://www.percona.com/doc/kubernetes-operator-for-pxc/index.html).
