Traditional MySQL troubleshooting assumes you control the server, but in the cloud, that assumption is gone. In this session, Sveta Smirnova will explore practical, field-tested techniques for diagnosing MySQL issues when hardware visibility is limited.
Whether you are running MySQL in a managed service, on virtual machines, or inside containers, you often lose access to low-level system data. Participants will learn how to work confidently with the visibility they actually have, focusing on:
- Relying on Performance Schema, sys schema, and log files when OS access is restricted.
- Interpreting symptoms that originate outside MySQL, such as CPU throttling and I/O caps.
- Cloud- and container-specific observability tools.
- Workarounds and investigative strategies for real-world incidents in AWS, GCP, Azure, or Kubernetes.
