juju deploy mysql --channel 8.0/edge
Deploy universal operators easily with Juju, the Universal Operator Lifecycle Manager.
Platform:
Deploy on multiple availability zones (AZ)
During the deployment to hardware/VMs, it is important to spread all the database copies (Juju units) to different hardware servers, or even better, to the different availability zones (AZ). This will guarantee no shared service-critical components across the DB cluster (eliminate the case with all eggs in the same basket).
This guide will take you through deploying a MySQL cluster on GCE using 3 available zones. All Juju units will be set up to sit in their dedicated zones only, which effectively guarantees database copy survival across all available AZs.
This documentation assumes that your cloud supports and provides availability zones concepts. This is enabled by default on EC2/GCE and supported by LXD/MicroCloud.
See the Additional resources section for more details about AZ on specific clouds.
Summary
Set up GCE on Google Cloud
Let’s deploy the MySQL Cluster on GKE (us-east4) using all 3 zones there (us-east4-a, us-east4-b, us-east4-c) and make sure all pods always sits in the dedicated zones only.
Warning: Creating the following GKE resources may cost you money - be sure to monitor your GCloud costs.
Log into Google Cloud and bootstrap GCE on Google Cloud:
gcloud auth login
gcloud iam service-accounts keys create sa-private-key.json --iam-account=juju-gce-account@[your-gcloud-project-12345].iam.gserviceaccount.com
sudo mv sa-private-key.json /var/snap/juju/common/sa-private-key.json
sudo chmod a+r /var/snap/juju/common/sa-private-key.json
juju add-credential google
juju bootstrap google gce
juju add-model mymodel
Deploy MySQL with Juju zones constraints
Juju provides the support for availability zones using constraints. Read more about zones in Juju documentation.
The command below demonstrates how Juju automatically deploys Charmed MySQL VM using Juju constraints:
juju deploy mysql -n 3 \
--constraints zones=us-east1-b,us-east1-c,us-east1-d
After a successful deployment, juju status will show an active application:

Simulation: A node gets lost
Let’s destroy a GCE node and recreate it using the same AZ (Primary MySQL unit is being removed):
> gcloud compute instances delete juju-5fe1b7-1
No zone specified. Using zone [us-east1-d] for instance: [juju-5fe1b7-1].
The following instances will be deleted. Any attached disks configured to be auto-deleted will be deleted unless they are attached to any other instances or the `--keep-disks` flag is given and specifies them for keeping. Deleting a disk is
irreversible and any data on the disk will be lost.
- [juju-5fe1b7-1] in [us-east1-d]
Do you want to continue (Y/n)? Y
Deleted [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/data-platform-testing-354909/zones/us-east1-d/instances/juju-5fe1b7-1].

Here we should remove the no longer available server/vm/GCE node and add a new one. Juju will create it in the same AZ us-east4-c:
> juju remove-unit mysql/1 --force --no-wait --no-prompt
WARNING This command will perform the following actions:

Request Juju to add a new unit in the proper AZ:
juju add-unit mysql -n 1
Juju uses the right AZ where the node is missing. Run juju status:

Remove GCE setup
Warning: Do not forget to remove your test setup - it can be costly!
Check the list of currently running GCE instances:

Request Juju to clean all GCE resources:
juju destroy-controller gce --no-prompt --force --destroy-all-models
Re-check that there are no running GCE instances left (it should be empty):
