Cloud repatriation’s scope is wider — the database ops question still stands
Cloud repatriation has taken a whole new meaning as geopolitical uncertainty abounds and political and market appetite for homegrown solutions is increasing. Today, repatriation not only means moving workloads to on-prem environments, but repatriation them back to local providers. One hitch? A lack of like-for-like services and drop-in tooling to automate core workloads…well, we’ll cover your databases.
Whether US cloud to local cloud or cloud to on-prem, repatriation neutralizes many risks
From a US hyperscaler to an EU provider
Repatriation is traditionally thought of as moving workloads back to on-prem. But, given the proliferation of local clouds, it now includes to them. Here are the top three benefits for doing so.
• You will reduce business risks around EU and other privacy regulations
• Your customer data is not subject to US CLOUD Act or FISA
• Your stack will be shielded from geopolitical disruption
The above benefits aside, it is also a true diversification strategy that will ensure your key workloads are better protected from events outside of your control.
From the cloud to on-prem or hybrid setup
Your traditional movement, it has never been easier thanks to new technology, models, such as the cloud operating model, and frameworks. Here are the top three benefits for going back on-prem.
• You will reduce cost, lock-in, and privacy regulation risks
• You will have more flexibility over workload placement
• You will have more control over workload configuration
Even better, on-prem itself has taken on a whole new meaning — you are no longer faced with building your own data centers and investing in equipment, you have all manner of options from co-location providers, up to and including hosting services.

What makes ClusterControl the ideal cloud-agnostic companion?
Cluster Management: Deploy, import and scale database clusters by adding, duplicating, removing and decommissioning nodes with just a few clicks.
Automated Failover: Maintain high availability with intelligent failover and integrated load balancers like ProxySQL and HAProxy.
Backup & Restore: Take verified ad hoc or scheduled full, incremental and partial backups locally and in the cloud.
Security & Compliance: Implement role-based access and LDAP, audit logging, reporting and encryption.
Topology Flexibility: Implement standalone, primary-secondary and multi-primary replication schemes.
Seamless Upgrades: Perform rolling updates for minimal service disruption.
The answer to that is no. We don’t think you can remain compliant if you’re hosting healthcare data on a US hyperscaler and that’s what many of our customers think.

Can I install ClusterControl on an Ubuntu VM even though my organizations standard is another Linux?
Yes. Install on any linux distribution wherever is convenient, on-premise or in the cloud.
Do I have to create a VM for ClusterControl?
You can also use docker and our docker image if that’s easier. It will depend obviously on how many databases and clusters you will end up controlling.
When I import a production database into the console what happens?
You add ssh credentials in order to connect to the server (on-prem or cloud) and add the IP and port and user/password. ClusterControl doesn’t touch any installations and just gets the replication or cluster environment under control by sending alerts and events that you can act upon accordingly.
