ClusterControl
Agentless database-cluster management software from Severalnines that deploys, monitors, manages, and scales MySQL, MariaDB, and Galera clusters from a single UI, with a free Community edition and paid Advanced/Enterprise tiers.
ClusterControl is Severalnines’ database-cluster management platform. Its cmon controller backend deploys, monitors, manages, and scales database clusters from a web UI, covering MySQL, MariaDB, Galera Cluster, PostgreSQL, and other open-source databases alongside some proprietary engines. For MySQL-family deployments it handles cluster deployment, automated failover and node recovery, backup scheduling (via mysqldump, Percona XtraBackup, or Mariabackup), and performance/query monitoring.
It ships as a single binary across Community, Advanced, and Enterprise editions — the Community edition is free with no time limit and covers deployment and monitoring, while paid tiers add features such as advanced backup management, scaling, and load-balancer deployment. New installs get a 30-day trial with full Enterprise functionality before reverting to Community. It’s installed via a self-hosted shell installer on RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux, Ubuntu, Debian, or SLES (x86_64), or run from an official Docker image.
