Radius.Data/mySqlDatabases@2025-08-01-preview

Description

The Radius.Data/mySqlDatabases Resource Type deploys a MySQL database. Provide the administrator username and password directly on the resource. The password property is marked x-radius-sensitive, so Radius encrypts it at rest, redacts it on reads, and exposes it (decrypted) only to the platform-engineer recipe that provisions the database.

resource mysql 'Radius.Data/mySqlDatabases@2025-08-01-preview' = {
  name: 'mysql'
  properties: {
    environment: environment
    application: myApplication.id
    version: '8.0'
    database: 'appdb'
    username: 'myadmin'
    // From a @secure() password parameter passed in via the CLI
    password: password
  }
}

When deploying the application definition, provide the database password value as a parameter. It is recommended to use a password generator such as openssl or equivalent. For example, rad deploy app.bicep -p ****** rand -hex 16).

To connect your container to the database, create a connection from the Container resource to the database as shown below.

resource myApplication 'Radius.Core/Applications@2025-08-01-preview' = { ... }

resource frontend 'Radius.Compute/containers@2025-08-01-preview' = {
  name: 'frontend'
  properties: {
    application: myApplication.id
    environment: environment
    container: {
      image: 'frontend:1.25'
      ports: {
        web: {
          containerPort: 8080
        }
      }
    }
    connections: {
      mysqldb: {
        source: database.id
      }
    }
  }
}

The connection automatically injects environment variables into the container for all properties from the database. The environment variables are named CONNECTION_<CONNECTION-NAME>_<PROPERTY-NAME>. In this example, the connection name is mysqldb so the environment variables will be:

• CONNECTION_MYSQLDB_DATABASE
• CONNECTION_MYSQLDB_HOST
• CONNECTION_MYSQLDB_PORT
• CONNECTION_MYSQLDB_TLS
