Run and Manage DocumentDB on Kubernetes

As the world’s enterprises rapidly move to the cloud, and containers are taking over the world of software development, Kubernetes is the platform that lets users seamlessly deploy, scale, run containers, and manage their application life-cycle.

But, running databases and stateful applications in Kubernetes has always been a challenge. And it is really difficult to Run and Manage Production-Grade Databases on Kubernetes. Every Enterprise needs a Production-Grade operator to deploy its databases and manage its life cycle on Kubernetes.

KubeDB is the leader in Kubernetes Native Database Management Solutions which simplifies and automates routine database tasks such as Provisioning, Monitoring, Upgrading, Patching, Scaling, Volume Expansion, Backup & Restore, Failure detection, and Recovery for various popular databases on private and public clouds. KubeDB developed the first-ever Production-Grade Kubernetes operator for DocumentDB to manage its Day-2 operations. KubeDB is a managed DBaaS that allows developers to run their databases alongside the respective application. You can simply deploy a DocumentDB server on Kubernetes and manage its Day-2 operations via KubeDB DocumentDB Operator.

Run and Manage DocumentDB on Kubernetes
Provisioning

Provisioning

If you can run Kubernetes, you can simply provision DocumentDB databases using KubeDB. You don't need to worry about all of the knowledge of Kubernetes Concept, Helm, and DocumentDB server side setup. KubeDB simplifies the whole process for you. You just have to use standard Kubernetes CLI and API to provision DocumentDB databases.

Version Upgrade

Upgrading the database version in Kubernetes is complicated. Upgrade operation should follow a specific order. KubeDB allows you to upgrade your running DocumentDB database version without any downtime. You can upgrade your database to any major or minor update of the DocumentDB version.

Version Upgrade
Scaling

Scaling

To improve your database performance you have to make sure that your database is scalable. KubeDB offers both Vertical and Horizontal Scaling of DocumentDB databases in Kubernetes. You can simply scale your DocumentDB cluster in Kubernetes using KubeDB.

Volume Expansion

Having options of increasing database volume ensures your database high availability and performance. You can expand your storage capacity of DocumentDB Database in Kubernetes by using KubeDB.

Volume Expansion
Backup & Restore

Backup & Restore

To protect your database from any kind of accidental data loss, you will need a disaster recovery solution for your database. KubeDB offers you to Backup & Restore your DocumentDB Database in Kubernetes via Stash. Stash is seemingly integrated with KubeDB. You can automate this feature to backup your DocumentDB database in Kubernetes by using Stash.

Monitoring

KubeDB comes with native support for monitoring via Prometheus. You can use builtin Prometheus scrapper or CoreOS Prometheus Operator to monitor your DocumentDB database in Kubernetes. You can use the Grafana to view key operational metrics, including compute/memory/storage capacity utilization, I/O activity, and instance connections.

Monitoring
Security

Security

To secure a database your data needs to go through a cryptographic protocol that provides end-to-end security of the data transmission over the network. You can secure your DocumentDB Database with TLS using KubeDB. Also, KubeDB allows you to use encrypted storage for your databases using keys you manage through your cloud provider's key management service.
