MySQL Group Replication requirements
- In order to integrate with this charm, every table created by the integrated application must have a primary key. This is required by the group replication plugin enabled in this charm.
- The count of Charmed MySQL K8s units in a single Juju application is limited to 9. Unit 10+ will start; however, they will not join the cluster but sleep in a hot-swap reserve.
Hardware
Make sure your machine meets the following requirements:
- 8GB of RAM.
- 2 CPU threads.
- At least 20GB of available storage.
The charm is based on the charmed-mysql ROCK OCI, which is recursively based on the charmed-mysql snap. It currently supports:
amd64arm64(from revision 180+)

Networking
- Access to the internet for downloading the required OCI/ROCKs and charms.
- Only IPv4 is supported at the moment
