    Episode 2 – Create a compartment<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    In the previous episode<\/a> we’ve introduced the different components that will be used during this Discovering MySQL Database Service<\/em><\/strong> journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this episode, we’ll see what is a compartment, how to create one and use it in order to create a MySQL DB system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
