Vitess

Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL. It is an open-source project started at YouTube, and has been used there since 2011.

Introduction

This chart creates a Vitess cluster on Kubernetes in a single release. It currently includes all dependencies (e.g. etcd) and Vitess components (vtctld, vtgate, vttablet) inline (in templates/) rather than as sub-charts.

WARNING: This chart should be considered Alpha. Upgrading a release of this chart may or may not delete all your data.

Installing the Chart

helm/vitess$ helm install .

Cleaning up

After deleting an installation of the chart, the PersistentVolumeClaims remain. If you don't intend to use them again, you should delete them:

kubectl delete pvc -l app=vitess

Configuration

See the comments in values.yaml for descriptions of the parameters.
