34.2 Deploying MySQL EE on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

To deploy MySQL EE on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, do the following:

1. Open the OCI Marketplace and search for MySQL.

   The MySQL listings are displayed.

2. Select MySQL Enterprise Edition.

   The MySQL Enterprise Edition overview is displaed.

3. Click Launch Instance to begin the application launch process.

   See To create a Linux instance for information on how to complete the fields.

By default, the MySQL server listens on port 3306 and is configured with a single user, root.

Important

When the deployment is complete, and the MySQL server is started, you must connect to the compute instance and retrieve the default root password which was written to the MySQL log file.

MySQL Configuration

For security, the following are enabled:

On startup, the following occurs:

• MySQL Server reads /etc/my.cnf and all files named *.cnf in /etc/my.cnf.d/.

• /etc/my.cnf.d/perf-tuning.cnf is created by /usr/bin/mkcnf based on the selected OCI shape.

  Note

  To disable this mechanism, remove /etc/systemd/system/mysqld.service.d/perf-tuning.conf.

  Performance tuning is configured for the following shapes:

  • VM.Standard2.1

  • VM.Standard2.2

  • VM.Standard2.4

  • VM.Standard2.8

  • VM.Standard2.16

  • VM.Standard2.24

  • VM.Standard.E2.1

  • VM.Standard.E2.2

  • VM.Standard.E2.4

  • VM.Standard.E2.8

  • VM.Standard.E3.Flex

  • VM.Standard.E4.Flex

  • BM.Standard2.52

  For all other shapes, the tuning for VM.Standard2.1 is used.
