Canonical
The publisher of Ubuntu offers support and fully managed operations for Charmed MySQL, on public clouds, Kubernetes, or in your own data center, with security maintenance for up to ten years per release track.
Canonical packages MySQL as Charmed MySQL, an operator-driven distribution with automated clustering and failover that runs on virtual machines or on Kubernetes. Around it Canonical sells two kinds of service.
Self-managed support, priced per node, gives 24/7 or weekday coverage by ticket, phone, and screen-share, with security maintenance for up to ten years per release track; it extends to the tools around the database, such as MySQL Router and XtraBackup. With the managed service, Canonical’s operations team takes over some or all of a MySQL fleet — automation, high availability, monitoring, and patching — on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, or in a private data center on MAAS, OpenStack, Kubernetes, or VMware. Canonical also offers design and advisory work on architecture, availability, and scaling, and says its managed services are audited against ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II.
