Disaster recovery with Galera Cluster 2021 edition (3 datacenters with 9 Galera Cluster nodes demo)

Length: 60 mins

Disaster Recovery with Galera Cluster 2021 Edition video with 3 datacenter (Singapore, London, San Fransisco) 9 Galera Cluster nodes demo!

We talk a lot about Galera Cluster for MySQL being great for High Availability, but what about Disaster Recovery (DR)? Database outages may occur when you lose a data centre due to power outages or natural disaster, so why not plan appropriately in advance?

In this video, we will discuss the business considerations including achieving the highest possible uptime, focus on business impact, risk mitigation, and disaster recovery itself. What scenarios are right for you: fully synchronous replication across various data centres? A mix of synchronous and asynchronous to an offsite location?

We will discuss Galera Cluster, mixed setups, the use of proxies, and also evaluate some third party solutions. We will debunk claims about how Galera Cluster might not work across data centers, tell you how to successfully do this across data centres, with performance tuning settings for all the segments. Galera 4 has also been released, making the networking protocol a lot more robust, and the changes will be discussed.

This video will focus on architecture solutions, DR scenarios and how to ensure you are successful at the end of it all.

Galera Cluster Streaming Replication for Large & Long Lasting Transactions In-Depth

Length: 60

Too Big A Bite Can Choke Your Cluster but a significant improvement has come to Galera Cluster 4 for MySQL, in the form of streaming replication. When you are dealing with large (greater than 2GB in size) or long running transactions, previous releases of Galera Cluster would reject the transaction; in the current release transactions can be split into fragmented chunks and those rows can be replicated in chunks to the other nodes even before commit. This is the feature that will remove you from all cluster stall issues due to large transaction processing!

The New Galera Manager Deploys Galera Cluster for MySQL on Amazon Web Services

Length: 50

Video includes live demo how to install Galera Manager and deploy easily Galera Cluster on Amazon Web Service for Geo-distributed Multi-master MySQL, Disaster Recovery and fast local reads and writes.

Now you can monitor and manage your Galera Cluster with Graphical Interface.

“The presentation was great with lots of valuable information. We will definitely try to implement Galera Manager in our environment very soon” stated attendee of the webinar.

Galera Cluster 4 for MySQL 8 Release Webinar

Length: 58

The much anticipated release of Galera Cluster 4 for MySQL 8 is now Generally Available. Please join Codership, the developers of Galera Cluster, and learn how we improve MySQL High Availability with the new features in Galera Cluster 4, and how you can benefit from using them. We will also give you an idea of the Galera 4 short term road map, as well as an overview of Galera 4 in MySQL, MariaDB and Percona.

Learn about how you can load data faster with streaming replication, how to use the new system tables in the mysql database, how your application can benefit from the new synchronization functions, and how Galera Cluster is now so much more robust in handling a bad network for Geo-distributed Multi-master MySQL.

Choosing between MySQL Galera, MariaDB Galera and Percona XtraDB Cluster

Length: 45 min

There are many Galera Cluster distributions and sometimes differences are well worth noting. We get a lot of queries about which Galera Cluster to use, or why one should use one distribution over the other.

Learn about Galera Cluster with MySQL 5.7 from Codership, and we’ll compare it with Galera Cluster 4 with MariaDB 10.4, and Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.7 with Galera 3. This is also the webinar where we preview Galera Cluster 4 with MySQL 8.0 as well as compare it with the preview release of Percona XtraDB Cluster 8.0.

Overall, learn why distributions exists, and how you can get the most out of your Galera Cluster experience.

Planning for Disaster Recovery (DR) with Galera Cluster

Length: 50 min

We talk a lot about Galera Cluster being great for High Availability, but what about Disaster Recovery (DR)? Database outages can occur when you lose a data centre due to data center power outages or natural disaster, so why not plan appropriately in advance?

We will discuss the business considerations including achieving the highest possible uptime, analysis business impact as well as risk, focus on disaster recovery itself, as well as discussing various scenarios, from having no offsite data to having synchronous replication to another data centre.

This webinar will cover MySQL with Galera Cluster, as well as branches MariaDB Galera Cluster as well as Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC). We will focus on architecture solutions, DR scenarios and have you on your way to success at the end of it.

Running Galera Cluster on Microsoft Azure

Length: 50 min

Do you want to run Galera Cluster in the Microsoft cloud? Why not learn to setup a 3-node Galera Cluster using Microsoft Azure Compute Virtual Machines, and run it yourself. In this webinar, we will cover the steps to do this, with a demonstration of how easy it is for you to do.

In addition, we will cover why you may want to run a 3-node (or more) Galera Cluster (active-active multi-master clusters) instead of (or in addition to) using Azure Database for MySQL or MariaDB. We will also cover cost comparisons.

Learn about storage options, backup & recovery, as well as monitoring & metrics options for the “roll your own Galera Cluster” in Azure.

Running Galera Cluster on Amazon EC2 and comparing it to RDS and Aurora

Length: 56 minutes

Do you want to run Galera Cluster in the cloud? Why not learn to setup a 3-node Galera Cluster using Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and run it yourself?

In this webinar, we will cover the steps to do this, with a demonstration of how easy it is for you to do. We will also cover how you may want to load balance traffic to your Galera Cluster using a proxy like ProxySQL.

In addition, we will cover why you may want to run a 3-node (or more) Galera Cluster (multi-master synchronous clusters) instead of using Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) MySQL, which has the ability to have asynchronous replication (Read Replicas), and High Availability provided by DRBD (Multi-AZ). We will also cover where Galera Cluster differs from Amazon Aurora RDS for MySQL.

Learn about storage options, backup & recovery, as well as monitoring & metrics options for the “roll your own Galera Cluster” in EC2.

The MySQL High Availability Landscape and where Galera Cluster fits in

Length: 60 minutes

The MySQL Server High Availability landscape provides with a slew of tools to help you ensure that your databases keep humming. Such tools are Galera Cluster, however, it is worth looking at semi-synchronous replication with failover tools, and also the usual leader-follower asynchronous replication. Today more workloads are moving to the cloud, and what failover options do you get with Amazon RDS for MySQL or even Aurora? What about the newfangled group replication and InnoDB Cluster? And let us not forget that Galera Cluster has spawned branches too!

Galera Cluster® Best Practices: DDL and Schema Upgrades

Length: 52

We will show how Galera Cluster executes DDLs in a safe, consistent manner across all the nodes in the cluster, and the differences with stand-alone MySQL. We will discuss how to prepare for and successfully carry out a schema upgrade and the considerations that need to be taken into account during the process.

Using Galera Replication to Create Geo-distributed Clusters on the WAN webinar video

Length: 55 min

We will show the advantages of having a geo-distributed database cluster and how to create one using Galera Cluster for MySQL. We will also discuss the configuration and status variables that are involved and how to deal with typical situations on the WAN such as slow, untrusted or unreliable links, latency and packet loss. We will demonstrate a multi-region cluster on Amazon EC2 and perform some throughput and latency measurements in real-time.

Migrating to Multi-Master Galera Cluster from Master-Slave MySQL Replication

Length:

This video provides the practical aspects of migrating a database setup based on traditional asynchronous replication to multi-master Galera Cluster. We will discuss the benefits Galera provides and how traditional replication settings, architecture and practices can be converted to Galera Cluster. We will show the steps that are needed to perform the migration with limited or no downtime, and will demonstrate the procedure in practice using a live database with an actual workload.

Galera Cluster Installation and Quick Start
