● Enables advanced analytics on data stored
in data lakes and SkySQL DBs
● Zero-ETL required to avoid data pipelines to
a warehouse
● Little or no OLTP interference
● Serverless no provisioning, borrow capacity
just when required
● Support high concurrency without
pre-provisioning (cheap)

Remote Observability Service
(ROS)
SkySQL Observability Service

20. Place Image Here
We’re Managing
Databases All Wrong
● Fragmented monitoring
● Tool sprawl
● Closed and proprietary tools
● Not Cloud Ready
○ Multi-cloud, Hybrid, and Remote
make monitoring disjoint and difficult

On-Premises Management
to Cloud Observability
✔ Extensive metrics monitoring
✔ Fine-grained, real-time log processing
✔ Real-user monitoring at the database
transactional level
✔ Dynamic and distributed tracing
✔ Tools and APIs for the microservices and
containerized cloud environment
What’s required to make the jump

22. Introducing SkySQL
Remote Observability Service (ROS)
Fully-managed
SkySQL service for
SkySQL and remote
on-premise DBs
Customizable
dashboards for
real-time insights
Logging/Alerts
infrastructure
built for hybrid
cloud environs
Observability API
to plug into 3rd
party management
apps

23. Real-time Insights on Performance and Capacity
● Multiple templates, easily customizable
● No up-front training required
● Monitor performance and capacity
● Dynamic and distributed tracing
● Rapidly identify problems, patterns
and anomalies

24. Automated and Customizable Alerts and Notifications
Reduce Response Times
● Build rule-based dynamic alerts
● Send capacity, performance, and other
key MariaDB metrics
● Automate responses to customized
notification channels

25. Extensible with OpenMetrics and Prometheus
Easily Integrates with Major 3rd Party ISVs Embed in Popular Programming Languages with a
Standard API

26. Security and Data Encryption
● All the data protected with industry-standard security methodologies
● Access restricted to an allowed list of IP ranges, secure by MariaDB ID
authentication credentials
● Options to restrict metrics data and logs collected by the ROS agent daemon
● Connection between ROS agent daemon and MariaDB cloud service is encrypted
using TLS 1.2 (SHA-256)

SkySQL Cloud Backup Features
MariaDB SkySQL Cloud Backup is a backup and recovery solution offered by MariaDB.
• Backups, backup operations, and restore operations are managed and monitored using a web-based
management console.
• Backup is currently supported for databases outside MariaDB SkySQL.
• Restore is currently supported to MariaDB SkySQL cloud databases or databases outside MariaDB SkySQL.
• Backups can currently be stored to a local filesystem or to SkySQL Cloud Backup storage.
• Schedules currently support on-demand, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly frequency.
• Backup retention policies can currently be set based on days or count of backups.
