[MySQL] Create instance from backup / restore backup into instance

[rgembalik]

When creating service instance we can specify what are the backup settings. Is it possible, though, to use those backups, to restore (using OSBA) the backup into the new service instance?

I'd like to create kubernetes based CI/CD pipeline which will build a new application environment automatically, using an existing database as a starting point.

If possible I'd like to avoid mysqldump-ing the data and manual data restore as much as possible since the database in question has few GB of data and manual import via mysql ... < dump.sql takes way too long for my liking.

Both restoring backup into new service instance and creating new service instance from an existing database are not supported.
The scenario makes sense to me. Actually SQL Server in OSBA implemented using existing database. That was a big refactor. And as a result, the usage of the module got more complicated and maybe also a little confusing. I really not sure whether it was a good change. So sorry there is no plan to support the scenario for MySQL yet :(.
I'd like to keep this issue open. Appreciate more feedback.
