Deploying MariaDB on Kubernetes

Short summary

A practical guide to deploying MariaDB on Kubernetes using a StatefulSet with persistent storage. Covers creating PersistentVolumes and Claims, configuring my.cnf via ConfigMap, exposing the database via a Service, and scaling replicas. Notes that StatefulSet scaling alone doesn't provide replication—Galera or MaxScale is needed for true HA.

• •Deploy MariaDB as a StatefulSet with PVC-backed persistent storage
• •Configure database settings via ConfigMap and expose through a Kubernetes Service
• •Scaling replicas creates independent instances; use Galera or MaxScale for real replication
