Add support for using an external database
troytop opened this issue · 5 comments
Some operators may wish to use a CSP-provided data service, or an existing HA database server/service for the MySQL database backing UAA and the CC. Expose options in the Helm values.yaml to use these services.
Is this a common enough case to need a knob, or is doing the override via the arbitrary bosh property overrides (and scaling the internal mysqls to 0) enough? We'd need to test that it works, of course.

That is no longer possible. You would have to add a default_feature: mysql to the instance group and then you can --set enable.mysql=false. So you still need some change somewhere; it will not work as-is with CAP 1.4.
It's OK to have this as a 2.0 feature. It is not needed urgently by anyone, but it has been requested by a CSP who would rather have the cluster backed by their MySQL service.
To be looked at post-1.5 (scf 2.18.0+)
This is possible with KubeCF, which is the base for the already-released CAP 2.0.
