Percona Operator for MySQL 1.2.0 introduces three major features for production MySQL fleets on Kubernetes. Cross-site replication via a new PerconaServerMySQLClusterSet custom resource enables declarative InnoDB ClusterSet topologies spanning multiple clusters or regions, replacing hand-wired async replication. Encrypted backups use XtraBackup's xbcrypt component with keys stored in Kubernetes Secrets, supporting S3, GCS, and Azure targets. Automatic PVC storage scaling monitors disk usage and grows volumes when a configurable threshold is crossed, up to a defined ceiling, eliminating manual intervention. Additional day-two operation improvements are also included.
