You can use the Commvault Cloud software to back up and restore a MySQL app running in a Kubernetes cluster or an OpenShift cluster. To do this, install a Commvault Cloud container along with a MySQL container inside a pod. Each pod in the Kubernetes cluster is registered as a client in the CommCell. Share the data in the persistent volumes (PV) with the Commvault Cloud container. Commvault Cloud is then able to read data for backups and write to volumes during restores.
The Commvault Cloud software also needs a 3 GB persistent volume to store its configuration files and logs. Because the Commvault Cloud server cannot communicate with pods in a Kubernetes cluster, each pod accesses a Commvault Cloud server through a one-way network topology immediately after the Commvault Cloud container in the pod is accessible. After the pod is registered as a client, you can create a MySQL instance for each pod to run backups and restores.
