Drubernetes v2 Replaces Bitnami with Official MariaDB Operator
Drubernetes has released version 2.0, replacing its final Bitnami dependency with the official MariaDB Operator to maintain full open-source compatibility for Drupal deployments on Kubernetes.
The update comes in response to licensing and support changes at Bitnami following its acquisition by VMware and Broadcom. Bitnami’s once widely used MariaDB Helm chart is now subject to tighter restrictions, prompting maintainers of open-source tools to re-evaluate dependencies.
Drubernetes, developed by BackUpScale, is a Terraform module designed to simplify Drupal infrastructure on Kubernetes. Its 2.0.0 release marks a key shift by integrating the official MariaDB Enterprise Operator in place of Bitnami’s chart.
According to the announcement, this change ensures Drupal stacks remain secure, portable, and free from licensing complications. The new operator offers transparent governance, upstream reliability, and alignment with enterprise compliance standards.
Migrating from earlier versions will require manual updates due to differences between chart-based and operator-based deployment models. Detailed upgrade instructions are available in the project’s GitLab repository.
