Managed MySQL on-prem, in the cloud, or both
Version 5.7, 8.0, 8.4
Running MySQL in production can quickly become complex — especially when dealing with high availability, replication, or clustering. Whether you’re using Oracle MySQL or Percona Server, keeping your systems secure, scalable, and performant can take time and expertise — you have help.
ClusterControl is an all-in-one platform for MySQL database automation. It simplifies deployment, management, monitoring, scaling and disaster recovery for any topology — from standalone to primary-secondary, and multi-primary (Galera) — with full lifecycle control in a single interface.
It’s been hard to find a unified, feature-rich database cluster management system in today’s market. With Severalnines’ help we’ve been able to deploy a centralized system across Europe and we’re planning to expand our usage of ClusterControl to other territories.
ClusterControl for MySQL tech highlights
Supported Distributions
Choose from top MySQL distributions and deployment sources to match your performance and scalability needs:
• Oracle MySQL – Official upstream community distribution from Oracle
• Percona Server – A drop-in replacement with enhanced performance and advanced diagnostics
• Percona Server Pro – Percona’s enterprise distribution that supports the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
ClusterControl also supports installations using official vendor repositories, operating system package managers (e.g., APT, YUM), or custom repository binaries — giving you ultimate flexibility.
Replication & High Availability
Optimize your MySQL infrastructure with flexible, production-ready replication and HA options:
• Asynchronous Replication – Simple and widely used; ideal for read scaling.
• Semi-Synchronous Replication – Reduces data loss risk with minimal performance tradeoff.
• Group Replication – Native MySQL high availability with built-in auto-failover and conflict handling.
• Galera Cluster – Synchronous multi-primary replication for strong consistency and high availability.
Key MySQL Features
Cluster Management: Deploy, import and scale MySQL 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.

What about other forks of MySQL?
ClusterControl deploys MariaDB, Percona Server for MySQL, and Oracle MySQL under the “MySQL” heading. Where other forks may work, you should check the databases we support.
When importing an existing MySQL instance, will I lose or break anything?
No. ClusterControl will just include that instance in the console and allow you to manage it, but it won’t stop it nor change any executables or data. Here’s how.
Can ClusterControl restore a MySQL backup and the software, or do I need to install the binaries first?
ClusterControl can restore a complete backup into an empty server with the same OS. All you need is connectivity to the IP and a user.
