Database administrators can now simplify management of Tungsten Clusters with Kubernetes-native automation and built-in high availability SAN FRANCISCO, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuent, a leading provider of solutions for business-critical applications using MySQL and MariaDB databases, featuring cluster management, data replication and connectivity, today announced the official launch of Tungsten version 8 (Tungsten v8) Operator for Kubernetes. It delivers a robust, Kubernetes-native solution to simplify and automate the deployment and management of high-availability MySQL clusters. "With the general availability of Tungsten v8 Operator for Kubernetes, we're giving database administrators a more powerful, cloud-native way to manage Tungsten Cluster environments using familiar Kubernetes tools," said Eero Teerikorpi, CEO of Continuent. "By automating the hardest parts of database clustering—failover, backup, provisioning—teams can focus on innovation rather than infrastructure. Upgrading to Tungsten v8 means unlocking fully declarative cluster management, automated reconciliation and native Kubernetes integrations that dramatically reduce operational complexity and risk for running MySQL at scale." Key enhancements to v8 Operator include: Declarative Deployment of Kubernetes: The v8 Operator introduces native Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for fully declarative cluster management, enabling database administrators to: Install and provision MySQL clusters by defining key properties, such as node count, topology and credentials within Kubernetes manifests. Standardize deployments using version-controlled, repeatable configurations across staging, production and hybrid environments. Accelerate the adoption of cloud-native database operations through a streamlined setup experience tailored to Kubernetes-first infrastructures. Data Protection: Built-in backup and restore functionality in v8 Operator ensures resilient and recoverable database operations inside Kubernetes. This allows teams to: Schedule and manage secure backups directly in the Kubernetes ecosystem Preserve data integrity throughout cluster lifecycle events, including backup and restore operations Automated Management: The v8 Operator eliminates routine manual tasks with intelligent, event-driven automation, allowing teams to: Detect and reconcile configuration drift or infrastructure changes automatically Support dynamic storage reconfiguration increases Streamline lifecycle operations by automating configuration, scaling and maintenance processes High Availability Controls: Robust mechanisms in the v8 Operator support continuous uptime during failures or planned maintenance, enabling administrators to: Automatically fail over to replica nodes during unplanned outages Perform planned switching operations seamlessly with minimal service disruption Isolate unstable or misbehaving nodes using integrated fencing controls to maintain cluster health Tungsten v8 Operator for Kubernetes is available now as part of Tungsten v8.

Continuent Releases Tungsten Dashboard v8, an Upgrade to Its Web-Based Interface for Managing and Monitoring MySQL Clusters
New release enhances cluster management with improved usability, security and real-time monitoring SAN FRANCISCO, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuent, a leading provider of solutions for business-critical applications using MySQL and MariaDB databases, featuring cluster management, data replication and connectivity, today announced the release of Tungsten Dashboard version 8, a major update to its web-based graphical interface for managing and monitoring Tungsten Clusters. The new version delivers significant improvements in operational efficiency, security and user experience to further simplify the way administrators interact with their database clusters in real time. "As today's data environments become more distributed and demanding, IT teams need a unified solution that delivers real-time insight, secure access and operational control without added complexity," said Eero Teerikorpi, CEO of Continuent. "Tungsten Dashboard v8 brings these capabilities together in one streamlined user interface. It makes it easier for teams to monitor, manage and scale their MySQL and MariaDB infrastructure with confidence, clarity and control." Tungsten Dashboard has long provided organizations with a centralized view of their multi-site, multi-primary - active/passive and active/active - MySQL deployments. With support for seamless management and monitoring of complex topologies, the dashboard has been a core tool for reducing administrative overhead and enhancing cluster reliability. Tungsten Dashboard v8 builds on this foundation with a suite of new features designed to make cluster operations more intuitive, secure and responsive. Key enhancements include: Improved Operations Real-time cluster monitoring enables instant visibility into cluster health and status. User-friendly operation triggers allow administrators to execute commands more easily and safely. Advanced filtering and search tools streamline the discovery of specific resources or events within large cluster environments. Simplified deployment through support for Docker Compose and Helm accelerates installation and onboarding. Enhanced Security End-to-end encryption of sensitive data ensures data integrity and confidentiality. Role-based user management enables granular access control, supporting compliance with security policies. Token-based authentication and full SSL support provide secure, end-to-end communication—from the user's browser, through the dashboard frontend and backend, and all the way to the cluster nodes. Efficient Communication Protocol Publish/subscribe architecture over persistent TCP connections reduces latency and ensures fast updates without overloading cluster resources. Low-impact design minimizes performance degradation during active monitoring. Automatic cluster discovery from a single entry point accelerates setup and simplifies operations in dynamic environments. Tungsten Dashboard v8 is available now for existing customers and can be installed as a standalone component or alongside new and existing Tungsten Clusters. Installation and upgrade instructions are available in the official documentation.
