Versions: 5.7, 8.0, 8.4
ClusterControl is an all-in-one platform for MySQL database ops automation, simplifying deployment, management, monitoring, scaling and disaster recovery for from standalone, primary-secondary and multi-primary (Galera) topologies.
Unlock More with ClusterControl + MySQL
Deploy MySQL in One Click
Set up standalone, asynchronous or semi-synchronous replication, Group Replication, or Galera clusters with load balancers.
Enterprise Backup & PITR
Take and restore full, incremental, or partial backups with compression and encryption across environments.
Monitor MySQL Health & Queries
Live dashboards reveal query performance, replication lag, system metrics, and top advisories for tuning and preemptive alerting.
Scale & Manage Without Disruption
Add, or remove MySQL nodes while ClusterControl automates replication setup, load balancing, and failover management.
Enterprise-Level Security Controls
TLS encryption, RBAC, LDAP/AD, certificates management, audit logging — all managed from ClusterControl.
Automatic Failover & Healing
ClusterControl triggers auto-failover, handles proxy failover, and recovers split-brain scenarios — keeping your services uninterrupted.

Still Managing MySQL by Hand? Time to Upgrade.
ClusterControl is the MySQL management platform DevOps teams actually want. Built for engineers. Trusted by enterprises. Made for your infrastructure.
ClusterControl supports your MySQL lifecycle end to end:
Deploy or import anywhere: Deploy your MySQL clusters in private data centers, public clouds, or hybrid architectures.
Simplify Management: Manage users, replication, backups, and configuration changes from a single intuitive interface.
Automate Operations: Deploy clusters, schedule backups, automate failover and more without manual effort.
Ensure High Availability: Implement load balancers like ProxySQL for resilience and traffic handling.
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.
Supported MySQL Configurations
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.

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.
