Managed MySQL by Canonical

Help your teams by offloading the operational tasks of some or all of your MySQL fleet to our specialized operations staff. Get automation, enterprise-grade security, high availability, scalability, monitoring, and support from the trusted open source experts.


Managed MySQL
on your cloud

When you use Canonical’s Managed MySQL, you benefit from optimized configurations for all the supported clouds. We can offer Managed MySQL on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, whether on top of VMs or on top of their managed Kubernetes offerings. We can also operate MySQL in your private data center on top of MAAS and MicroCloud, Kubernetes, OpenStack or VMWare.


Why choose Canonical’s Managed MySQL


Streamlined operations

We can take care of deploying, patching, migrating, optimizing, hardening and monitoring your MySQL clusters.


Highly available

We provide uptime guarantees backed by an SLA for peace of mind. Our expertise on the full stack from the kernel up to the application underpins our SLA commitments.


Reliable

Our managed service relies on the same automation that we use to run our own MySQL deployments that we have been running for years.


Secure and compliant

Our operations are certified, with regular independent audits for your assurance.


Our process

Our Managed MySQL process is easy and intuitive:


1. Workshop

Our experts will work with you to understand your requirements and to define the design of the MySQL deployments to meet your needs.


2. Deployment

We will deploy the agreed MySQL clusters according to the documented design.


3. Management

Our team manages all your ‘day 2’ operations, from observability to upgrades. We handle all issues, and consistently reinforce the security of your environment.


4. Optional handover

We are lock-in free, so if after a while you want to start managing your environments by yourself, we can transfer operational knowledge while providing you with support for high-severity cases.
