Adding MYSQL to Cloud Foundry and using it as a service

Question

I am new to cloud foundry service, and wondering if the community can help to answer my question.

I have a simple WordPress app pushed to Cloud Foundry cf push Wordpress which has backend MYSQL servers. I have been asked to add MYSQL as a service within Cloud Foundry, but currently this does not exist.

When i perform cf marketplace there is not an option for MYSQL.

Simply put how do i get MYSQL on Cloud Foundry for my app to use it as a service.

Thanks

Are you trying with pivotal web services or pivotal cloud foundry? If you are using pivotal web services, choose cleardb service that provides mysql db as a service. For pivotal cloud foundry, you need to download p-mysql product from network.pivotal.io site and upload the file to pcf ops manager. — Kumaresh Babu N S
I second Kumaresh's comment. It depends on how you are deploying CF. If you're using the open source deployment methods or Bosh Lite, see @dkoper's response below. If you're using a specific public provider, please indicate which one and someone can point you in the right direction. Same if you're using a commercial version of CF, as the exact process can differ. — Daniel Mikusa
