+# Features
+
+Percona Operator for MySQL is a Kubernetes-native controller that automatically manages the full lifecycle of Percona Server for MySQL clusters. The Operator offloads your teams from manual day-to-day database management operation empowering them to focus on tasks that matter instead.
+
+## Core capabilities
+
+Here's what the Operator brings to your infrastructure:
+
+### High availability and failover
+
+Never lose sleep over database downtime again. The Operator provides robust high availability through:
+
+- Automatic failover with intelligent primary election handled by the Orchestrator
+- Multi-node deployments with anti-affinity rules to prevent single points of failure  
+- Health monitoring with automatic recovery from node failures
+- Zero-downtime upgrades with rolling update strategies
+
+Choose between [group replication](architecture.md#replication-types-and-proxy-solutions) (GA) for stronger consistency or [asynchronous replication](architecture.md#replication-types-and-proxy-solutions) (Beta) for lower latency—both with automatic failover capabilities.
+
+### Automated backup and restore flows
+
+Protect your data with Percona XtraBackup - an enterprise-grade backup solution for hot, non blocking backups. Run:
+
+- Scheduled backups with configurable retention policies
+- On-demand backups for critical operations
+- Point-in-time recovery with precise restore capabilities
+
+### Automated scaling and resource management
+
+Scale your database infrastructure effortlessly:
+
+- Horizontal scaling with automatic replica management
+- Vertical scaling with resource limit adjustments
+- Storage expansion with volume growth capabilities
+- Load balancing through HAProxy or MySQL Router
+- Resource optimization with intelligent pod placement
+
+### Security and compliance
+
+Keep your data secure with built-in security features:
+
+- Transport encryption with TLS/SSL support
+- Data-at-rest encryption with key management integration
+- Role-based access control with fine-grained permissions
+- Secret management with Kubernetes-native secrets
+
+### Monitoring and observability
+
+Gain deep insights into your database performance:
+
+- Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) integration for comprehensive monitoring
+- Custom metrics and alerting capabilities
+- Log aggregation and centralized logging
+- Performance insights with query analysis
+- Health dashboards for operational visibility
+
+## How Operator works
+
+The Operator extends Kubernetes with custom resources that represent your MySQL cluster's desired state. 
+
+Here's what happens under the hood:
+
+1. You define your cluster requirements in a `PerconaServerMySQL` custom resource
+2. The Operator watches for changes and reconciles the actual state with your desired state
+3. Kubernetes resources are automatically created and managed (Pods, Services, StatefulSets, etc.)
+4. The cluster self-heals by detecting and recovering from failures
+5. Updates and scaling happen automatically based on your configuration changes
+
+This declarative approach means you describe what you want, not how to achieve it. The Operator handles all the complex orchestration, ensuring your database cluster always matches your specifications.
