Examples Catalog

The examples catalog contains a number of sample manifests that aim to show the operator functionality in a practical way. Follow these instructions for getting started:

• Download the examples catalog:

curl -sLO https://operator.mariadb.com/examples/manifests.tar.gz
mkdir -p examples
tar -xzf manifests.tar.gz -C examples

• Install the configuration shared by all the examples:

kubectl apply -f examples/config

• Start deploying examples:

kubectl apply -f examples/mariadb.yaml

Some examples rely on external dependencies for specific tasks, make sure to install them when it applies:

• prometheus-operator for metrics

• cert-manager for TLS certificates

• minio for S3 object storage

It is recommended to complement the examples with the API reference documentation to understand the full range of configuration options available.

If you are looking for production-grade examples, you can check the mariadb_galera_production.yaml and maxscale_galera_production.yaml examples.
