Managed MariaDB on-prem, in the cloud, or both
Version 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.11, 11.4, 11.8
ClusterControl is a MariaDB management platform that automates the full lifecycle of your databases — whether they’re running on‑premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments. It gives you absolute transparency, sovereignty, and cost control so you’re never tied into third‑parties like public cloud DBaaS.
Unlock More with ClusterControl + MariaDB
Deploy MariaDB in One Click
Provision standalone, primary-replica or Galera clusters instantly — preconfigured for high availability, scale, and operational control.
Backups with Point-in-Time Recovery
Schedule full, incremental, or partial backups with encryption and compression. Restore across environments or to any point in time (PITR).
Monitor Queries and Replication
Track slow queries, server health, and replication lag with real-time dashboards and built-in advisors to surface bottlenecks automatically.
Scale with Replication Automation
Easily add MariaDB replica or Galera nodes — ClusterControl handles replication setup.
Built-In Enterprise Security
Secure access with RBAC, LDAP, and TLS. Get full audit logging to meet compliance needs—all from a self-hosted platform with no vendor lock-in.
Auto Failover and Recovery
Recover from failure fast with intelligent failover and node recovery for Galera or replication-based topologies.

Still Managing MariaDB by Hand? Time to Upgrade.
ClusterControl is the MariaDB management platform DevOps teams actually want. Built for engineers. Trusted by enterprises. Made for your infrastructure.
ClusterControl supports your MariaDB lifecycle end-to-end
Deploy: Launch standalone, replication pairs or Galera clusters in minutes.
Observe: Gain deep visibility with customizable dashboards, real-time metrics, query profiling, and tuning advisors.
Recover: Take scheduled or ad‑hoc backups (full, incremental, partial), encrypted/compressed, stored locally or in S3‑compatible cloud. Restore anywhere.
Scale: Scale horizontally or vertically — add, remove or duplicate nodes, manage Galera topology and replication without downtime.
Automate: Built‑in advisors detect replication or performance risks and trigger automated recovery or failover flows.
Having ClusterControl to monitor and alert on our database instances allows us to concentrate on other tasks and duties with the confidence that we will get notified promptly when necessary. The intuitive GUI gives us a unified view of our environment, dramatically simplifying administration and incident response.
Supported MariaDB Configurations
Supported Distributions
Choose from leading MariaDB distributions and deployment sources to match your performance and compliance needs:
- MariaDB Community Server – Open-source distribution maintained by the MariaDB Foundation, fully compatible with MySQL standards.
- MariaDB Enterprise Server – Enterprise-grade distribution from MariaDB Corporation with long-term support, advanced security, and performance enhancements.
ClusterControl also supports installations using official MariaDB repositories, operating system package managers (e.g., APT, YUM), or custom repository binaries — giving you ultimate flexibility.
Replication & High Availability
Ensure resilient and scalable MariaDB deployments with production-ready replication and HA technologies:
MariaDB Galera Cluster – Native synchronous multi-primary replication for strong consistency, automatic failover, and high availability across nodes.
Asynchronous Replication – Commonly used and lightweight; ideal for read scaling and simple failover.
Semi-Synchronous Replication – Provides stronger data protection by confirming writes on at least one replica before committing.

Top rated Docs
MariaDB and MySQL are sometimes misnamed and considered the same. How does ClusterControl deal with each?
Each deployment and processing of each technology is specific to each. Documentation may refer to both where there are common areas but are specific where it applies, e.g., backup tooling.
If I have MySQL but want to deploy MariaDB and use things like MaxScale, XtraDB, OQGRAPH, and SPIDER, do you cover that migration?
ClusterControl will deploy the MariaDB version you desire, from 10.3 to 10.11, so, as with any database migration, you will only have to import the data into the deployed MariaDB.
Can I import an existing MariaDB environment and then create a Spider sharding from that?
Yes, just take a look at how that’s done here.
