• MySQL Tools Usage in Rakuten and Overview of Replication GTIDs

There is also a lot of interest in our new delivery vehicles for MySQL packages. Using the new YUM repos you can stay up to date with the latest MySQL releases. You need not  wait for your distro to update MySQL in their release …

Relational databases are ubiquitous in OpenStack: practically every OpenStack service stores its critical metadata in a database, and the MySQL family of databases is the de-facto standard for OpenStack relational data storage. The need for high availability for these relational datastores is obvious. Galera is the default multi-master strongly-consistent replication facility for highly-available relational data in OpenStack. In this webinar, we are joined by independent OpenStack expert Florian Haas to illustrate the ins and outs of Galera for OpenStack.

Speaker bio: Florian Haas is an open source software specialist, experienced technical consultant, seasoned training instructor, and frequent public speaker. He has spoken at conferences like LinuxCon, OSCON, linux.conf.au, the OpenStack Summit, the MySQL Conference and Expo, and countless user and meetup groups across the globe.

Due to a number of javascript files and libraries I had included in my project (and custom code written myself), I realized that I should do something to minimize the number of HTTP requests to server by bundling up source files somehow. I used simple OS shell commands to do so on a Mac OSX but instructions should work fine on Linux (with or without some adjustments).

Last week I hosted a webinar on using MySQL in the cloud for High Availability (HA) alongside 451 Research analyst Jason Stamper. You can watch the recording and also download the slides (free) here. Just click the “Register” button at the end of that page.
