Point and click provisioning and management for vSphere

VMware Data Services Manager simplifies creation and management of VMware SQL databases running in vSphere. Use an intuitive graphical interface or a comprehensive set of APIs.

Support entire cloud native developer organizations

Take advantage of significant automation for operator and developer lifecycles. Install, manage, monitor, and update SQL. Ensure deployments meet enterprise requirements.

Why VMware SQL?

VMware SQL provides your choice of open-source database engines based on MySQL and Postgres. With VMware SQL, application developers can manage data services in the same way as the rest of the application stack with an easy UI and self-service APIs. Platform teams gain built-in automation that reduces effort to run and patch the clusters. Data teams can be confident that data is managed in approved, policy-compliant database instances.

SQL with Kubernetes illustration

VMware SQL with Kubernetes

VMware is an expert with Postgres and with Kubernetes so it's natural that we’ve developed a Kubernetes operator that makes Postgres consistently easy to deploy. VMware SQL with Postgres is now available for Kubernetes. It provides a DevOps-friendly experience for Postgres, both on-premises and in the public, private, or hybrid cloud. Get it from Tanzu Network or VMware Marketplace.

VMware SQL with Kubernetes provides essential database management functionality across fleets of Postgres deployments, including:


Self-service deployment

VMware Postgres is designed to be configured and deployed with a single command for self-service ease.

Automated management

The life cycle of each PostgreSQL database instance is fully managed by a centralized Postgres operator. Routine management operations such as deployment, failover, and scaling are built into the operator and carried out cluster-wide across the entire fleet.

Elastic scale

Running Postgres instances can be easily scaled horizontally or vertically with simple commands.

Consistent operation

The deployment and management experience is the same across any Kubernetes platform. That means commands stay the same regardless of the underlying infrastructure, be it on-prem or cloud.
