1 - Overview

Service Overview

MariaDB (DBaaS) is an open-source relational database (RDBMS) with high compatibility with MySQL. Samsung Cloud Platform provides an environment that can automate MariaDB installation and perform management functions for operation through a web-based Console.

MariaDB (DBaaS) is designed as a high‑availability architecture that performs storage‑based data replication and minimizes failover time. To prevent data loss, when the contents of the Active server change, they are synchronously replicated to the Standby server, and up to five read‑only Replica servers for read load balancing and disaster recovery (DR) are provided. Additionally, it provides an automatic backup feature at user-specified times to prepare for issues with the DB server or data, enabling recovery of data at the desired point in time.

Provided Features

MariaDB (DBaaS) provides the following features.

  • Auto Provisioning (Auto Provisioning): Allows installation and configuration of Database(DB) via UI, and provides an Active-standby redundancy configuration based on storage replication. * When the active server fails, it automatically fails over to standby.
  • Operation Control Management: Provides a function to control the status of running servers. * In addition to start and stop, you can restart if there is a DB issue or to apply configuration changes. * When high availability (HA) is configured, the user can manually perform node switching between Active and Standby via a switch‑over.
  • Backup and Recovery: Provides data backup functionality based on its own backup commands. * Backup time windows and storage locations can be set by the user, and additional fees are incurred based on the backup size. * It also provides a recovery function for backed‑up data, so when the user performs a recovery, a separate database is created and the recovery proceeds to the point in time selected by the user (the backup save point or a user‑specified point). * When restoring to a user-specified point in time, the restore point can be set up to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour earlier, based on the stored backup and archive files.
  • Version Management: Provides a version upgrade (Minor) feature based on some functionality improvements and security patches. * Whether to perform a backup for a version upgrade can be selected by the user, and if a backup is performed, the data is backed up before applying the patch, after which the DB engine is updated.
  • Replica configuration: Up to five Read Replicas can be configured in the same or different regions for read load balancing and disaster recovery (DR).
  • Audit configuration: Provides an Audit configuration feature that can monitor users’ DB access and the results of DDL (Data Definition Language)/DML (Data Manipulation Language) operations.
  • Parameter management: Performance improvements and security-related DB configuration parameters can be modified.
  • Service Status Query: Retrieves the final status of the current DB service.
  • Monitoring: CPU, memory, performance monitoring information can be viewed through Cloud Monitoring and Servicewatch.
  • DB User Management: Query and manage the DB account (user) information registered in the DB.
  • DB Access Control Management: Based on DB accounts registered in the DB, you can register and revoke allowed IPs for access.
  • Archive Management: You can set the Archive file retention period (1 to 35 days) on the DB server and configure the Archive mode (On/Off).
  • DB Log Export: Through Audit settings, you can export stored logs to the user’s Object Storage.
  • Migration: Synchronize data in real time with the operational database and support migration using replication without service interruption.
  • OS Kernel Upgrade: You can upgrade the OS Kernel to apply some feature improvements and security patches.
