Overview of DB System

A MySQL HeatWave Service DB system consists of a compute instance, operating system, MySQL Server, Virtual Network Interface Card (VNIC), and block storage.

  • A compute instance (with resources defined by the associated shape). See Supported Shapes.
  • Oracle Linux Operating System.
  • MySQL Server Enterprise Edition version 8.0 or higher.
  • Virtual Network Interface Card (VNIC) that attaches the DB system to a subnet of the Virtual Cloud Network (VCN).
  • Network-attached block storage. MySQL HeatWave Service uses the Higher Performance option for all block storage. See Block Volume.
Note

You cannot access the operating system. Only the MySQL instance is exposed through the endpoint of the DB system.
