OBProxy can forward data access requests made by users to the correct OBServer. OBProxy allows you to create an OBProxy cluster, view the OBProxy cluster information, and view the OBProxy monitoring information.
This topic uses OceanBase Cloud Platform (OCP) V2.5.0 as an example to describe how to deploy OBProxy. Notice
After you deploy OBProxy on a server, OBProxy provides the proxy service of OceanBase by exposing an endpoint (IP address:port format). You can access OceanBase Database through the endpoint in the same way you access MySQL databases. We recommend that you deploy OBProxy on the OBServer node.
We recommend that you deploy only one OBProxy service on a server and use port 2883. If you deploy two or more OBProxy services on the same server, you must specify different ports.
