helm repo and helm install commands for the MariaDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator

#MariaDB Enterprise #Kubernetes Operator simplifies the deployment and management of MariaDB #databases within the K8 environment. 🌐

Now, you can easily install the operator on an #Ubuntu VM by following these steps: mariadb.com/resources/bl...

My favorite change is that MariaDB got an improved implementation of the WHERE year(...) = ? rewriting. use-the-index-luke.com/blog/2024-12...

In picture: the green check mark used to be yellow, with the "a" footnote: Unconditionally rewritten — even if only a matching function-based index exists

I agree - I always regret it. But using DBeaver to connect has helped.

In the end though I always convert to MariaDB at some point and regret not starting there. 🤷‍♂️
