Hi @kavyalakshmi96
Please follow this: Deploying MySQL on Kubernetes {Guide} | phoenixNAP KB

Thank you.

I had a question regarding the configuration of software or applications as services. So, to create a service, we need to go to the path /etc/systemd/system/ and then create a file with a .service extension and enter all the relevant details inside the [Unit], [Service] and [Install] sections right?
While I was going through the lab, there were some questions wherein, a service called app was present in the path /usr/lib/systemd/system/app.service
This got me confused. Should the service be in /etc/systemd/service path or /usr/systemd/system path?

Hello @aquib92taxila
This question is already answered in man 7 file-hierarchy which comes with systemd (there is also [online version](file-hierarchy

        /etc
           System-specific configuration.

 VENDOR-SUPPLIED OPERATING SYSTEM RESOURCES
       /usr
            Vendor-supplied operating system resources. 
            Usually read-only, but this is not required. Possibly 
            shared between multiple hosts. This directory should not
            be modified by the administrator, except when installing 
            or removing vendor-supplied packages.

Basically, files that ships in packages downloaded from distribution repository go into /usr/lib/systemd/. Modifications done by system administrator (user) go into /etc/systemd/system/.

System-specific units override units supplied by vendors. Using drop-ins, you can override only specific parts of unit files, leaving the rest to vendor.
