Migrating data from Yandex Object Storage to Yandex Managed Service for MySQL®
With Data Transfer, you can transfer data from an Object Storage object storage to a Managed Service for MySQL® target cluster.
To transfer data:
If you no longer need the resources you created, delete them.
Getting started
Prepare the infrastructure:
-
Create a service account named
storage-viewer
with thestorage.viewer
role. The transfer will use it to access the bucket. -
Create a static access key for the
storage-viewer
service account. -
Create a Managed Service for MySQL® target cluster in any suitable configuration with the following settings:
- DB name:
db1
- Username:
mmy-user
- Password:
<user_password>
- DB name:
-
Assign the MySQL® user the
ALL_PRIVILEGES
role for the source database.
-
If you do not have Terraform yet, install it.
-
Get the authentication credentials. You can add them to environment variables or specify them later in the provider configuration file.
-
Configure and initialize a provider. There is no need to create a provider configuration file manually, you can download it
. -
Place the configuration file in a separate working directory and specify the parameter values. If you did not add the authentication credentials to environment variables, specify them in the configuration file.
-
Download the data-transfer-objs-mmy.tf
configuration file to the same working directory.This file describes:
- Network.
- Subnet.
- Security groups and the rule required to connect to a Managed Service for MySQL® cluster.
- Service account to be used to create and access the bucket.
- Yandex Lockbox secret which will store the static key of the service account to configure the source endpoint.
- Object Storage source bucket.
- Managed Service for MySQL® target cluster.
- Target endpoint.
- Transfer.
-
Specify in the
data-transfer-objs-mmy.tf
file:folder_id
: ID of the folder to create resources in.bucket_name
: Bucket name consistent with the naming conventions.mmy_password
: MySQL® user password.
-
Make sure the Terraform configuration files are correct using this command:
terraform validate
If there are any errors in the configuration files, Terraform will point them out.
-
Create the required infrastructure:
-
Run the command to view planned changes:
terraform plan
If the resource configuration descriptions are correct, the terminal will display a list of the resources to modify and their parameters. This is a test step. No resources are updated.
-
If you are happy with the planned changes, apply them:
-
Run the command:
terraform apply
-
Confirm the update of resources.
-
Wait for the operation to complete.
-
All the required resources will be created in the specified folder. You can check resource availability and their settings in the management console
. -
Prepare the test data
-
Create a
data.csv
text file on the running instance and fill it with test data. As an example, we will use the readings returned by car sensors:1;99101;2022-06-05 17:27:00;55.70329032;37.65472196;427.5;52.3;23.5;17.;52. 2;95106;2022-06-06 09:49:54;55.71294467;37.66542005;429.13;55.5;21.;18.;32. 3;117890;2023-06-07 06:21:29;55.71294467;37.66542005;429.13;56.2;20.;18.7;45. 4;99101;2022-06-07 08:15:32;55.29194467;37.66542005;429.13;59.1;21.;18.;20.
-
Upload the file to the previously created Object Storage bucket.
Prepare and activate the transfer
-
Create a source endpoint with the following settings:
-
Database type:
Object Storage
. -
Bucket: Bucket name in Object Storage.
-
Access Key ID: Public part of the service account static key. If you created your infrastructure using Terraform, copy the key value from the Yandex Lockbox secret.
-
Secret Access Key: Private part of the service account static key. If you created your infrastructure using Terraform, copy the key value from the Yandex Lockbox secret.
-

Note
The target endpoint writes
DATETIME
type data in the UTC+0 time zone. -

:DOUBLE
-
speed
:DOUBLE
-
battery_voltage
:DOUBLE
-

-
Leave the default values for the other parameters.
-
-
Create an endpoint for the target and the transfer:
ManuallyTerraform-
-
Database type:
MySQL
. -
Endpoint parameters:
- Connection settings:
-
Connection type:
Managed Service for MySQL cluster
.Select a source cluster from the list and specify its connection settings.
-
- Connection settings:
-
-
Create a transfer of the Snapshot and replication type that will use the created endpoints.
-
Activate your transfer.
-
In the
data-transfer-objs-mmy.tf
file, specify the following variables:source_endpoint_id
: ID of the source endpoint.transfer_enabled
: Set to1
to enable transfer creation.
-
Make sure the Terraform configuration files are correct using this command:
terraform validate
If there are any errors in the configuration files, Terraform will point them out.
-
Create the required infrastructure for the transfer:
-
Run the command to view planned changes:
terraform plan
If the resource configuration descriptions are correct, the terminal will display a list of the resources to modify and their parameters. This is a test step. No resources are updated.
-
If you are happy with the planned changes, apply them:
-
Run the command:
terraform apply
-
Confirm the update of resources.
-
Wait for the operation to complete.
-
Once created, your transfer will be activated automatically.
-
-
Test the transfer
-
Wait for the transfer status to change to Replicating.
-
Connect to the Managed Service for MySQL® target cluster database.
-
To make sure the data was successfully transferred, run the following query:
SELECT * FROM db1.measurements;

text file containing new data:7;95106;2022-06-07 09:54:32;47.71294467;37.66542005;429.13;62.2;21.;20.4;27. 9;117890;2022-06-07 11:56:27;52.71294467;37.66542005;429.13;65.5;19.;19.;38. 10;117890;2022-06-07 12:36:27;57.71294467;37.66542005;429.13;72.1;19.;20.;25. 11;99101;2022-06-07 15:22:27;59.71294467;37.66542005;429.13;35.5;19.;18.;12.
-
Upload the file to the Object Storage bucket for transfer.
-
Make sure the new data is added to the
db1.measurements
table of the MySQL® target database.
Delete the resources you created
Note
Before deleting the created resources, deactivate the transfer.
Some resources are not free of charge. To avoid paying for them, delete the resources you no longer need:
Delete the other resources depending on how they were created:
- Delete the source endpoint.
- Delete the Object Storage bucket.
- Delete the Managed Service for MySQL® cluster.
- If you created a service account together with the target endpoint, delete it.
-
In the terminal window, go to the directory containing the infrastructure plan.
-
Delete the
data-transfer-objs-mmy.tf
configuration file. -
Make sure the Terraform configuration files are correct using this command:
terraform validate
If there are any errors in the configuration files, Terraform will point them out.
-
Confirm updating the resources.
-
Run the command to view planned changes:
terraform plan
If the resource configuration descriptions are correct, the terminal will display a list of the resources to modify and their parameters. This is a test step. No resources are updated.
-
If you are happy with the planned changes, apply them:
-
Run the command:
terraform apply
-
Confirm the update of resources.
-
Wait for the operation to complete.
-
All the resources described in the
data-transfer-objs-mmy.tf
configuration file will be deleted. -
