Continental Innovates with Rancher and Kubernetes
This tutorial describes how to set up a MySQL database in Amazon’s RDS.
This database can later be used as an external datastore for a high-availability K3s Kubernetes cluster.
You’ll need to capture the following information about the new database so that the K3s Kubernetes cluster can connect to it.
To see this information in the Amazon RDS console, click Databases, and click the name of the database that you created.
This information will be used to connect to the database in the following format:
mysql://username:password@tcp(hostname:3306)/database-name
For more information on configuring the datastore for K3s, refer to the K3s documentation.
