Deploying a Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) with Galera Manager automatically on Amazon Web Services

Galera Manager supports three modes for supporting your Percona XtraDB Clusters: deploying to either Amazon Web Services, deploying to your own on premises hosts, and also just monitoring your clusters. In this blog post, we will go thru houw you should deploying a 3-node Percona XtraDB Cluster via Galera Manager on Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (AWS EC2). You will realise that this process happens with just a simple API key and instance selection, so effectively you can have a Galera Manager setup in under fifteen minutes!

On AWS EC2, it is worth noting that Galera Manager itself can be deployed on the free tier for testing purposes. However, in production environments, you might expect up to 100GB of logs on a monthly basis, so you should plan accordingly.

Obtain Galera Manager by …

Galera Manager January 2024 release

The momentum around Galera Manager development has been amazing. You report bugs or feature requests, and we fix them!

The major reason to release this was to ensure that Galera Manager would accept the new signing keys of Galera Cluster (key ID: 8DA84635).

One will now also note that gm-installer reports a new version: gm-installer version 1.12.0 (linux/amd64). And when you install it, Galera Manager itself is now at version 1.8.3. One of the major fixes is that Ubuntu 22.04 support for self-provided hosts is now exposed in the UI. This fixes …

Quick Look – MySQL Data Directory Files

Do you know what lies inside your MySQL Data Directory? This article is a quick guide about the files stored inside MySQL data directory. Data managed by the MySQL server…

The post Quick Look – MySQL Data Directory Files first appeared on Change Is Inevitable.

Where to find official MySQL container images ?

If you are deploying MySQL on containers, one of the first tasks is to find the right image.

There’s a certain amount of confusion, especially when we’re trying to help someone who’s having problems with their deployment.

For example, when people say I’m using the official docker image… what does that really mean?

Docker Hub, provides their official image (https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql), but this is not the official MySQL image that we, the MySQL Team at Oracle, support.

Before the mess with Docker Hub ([1], [2], [3]), the real official images for MySQL …

Recovering nodes in a Galera Cluster

In our lab environment, we received some emails from our provider, DigitalOcean saying a few nodes would be going down, because of issues with the physical nodes. Since we run a 9-node Galera Cluster in the lab, across 3 regions (San Francisco, London and Singapore), this posed an interesting problem!


Upon connecting to one of the nodes, we see:

mysql> show status like 'wsrep_cluster_size';
+--------------------+-------+
| Variable_name      | Value |
+--------------------+-------+
| wsrep_cluster_size | 7     |
+--------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)

So we know that 2 of the nodes are down. Presuming you do not have any monitoring setup (might we recommend …

As a DBA, develop a critical mind when receiving advice

On the Internet, you can get a lot of advice from almost anywhere when you’re looking for information on how to do your DBA job.

My blog is one of these sources of advice, and depending on the source, we generally trust the advice more or less.

But sometimes advice doesn’t take the whole picture into account, and even if it comes from a recognized authority, it can lead to more or less serious problems.

Let’s consider the following situation:

We have an InnoDB ReplicaSet with 1 replication source (primary) and 2 replicas:

 JS > rs.status()
{
    "replicaSet": {
        "name": "myReplicaSet", 
        "primary": "127.0.0.1:3310", 
        "status": "AVAILABLE", 
        "statusText": "All instances available.", 
        "topology": {
            "127.0.0.1:3310": {
                "address": "127.0.0.1:3310", 
                "instanceRole": "PRIMARY", 
                "mode": "R/W", …

Moodle on OCI with MySQL HeatWave: Extended Architectures – part 2

To continue our journey to Moodle on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using Ampere compute instances and MySQL HeatWave Database Service [1] [2], in this article we will see how to scale our architecture using multiple Moodle instances, High Availability for the Database and Read Scale-Out.

This is the architecture we will deploy:

The same principles can be applied to other projects, not just Moodle.

Multiple Compute Instances & MySQL HeatWave High Availability

The first step is to use again the Stack to deploy the initial resources. We must insure that we use a MySQL Shape that has at least 4 OCPUs

Upgrade MySQL to 8.0? Yes, but Avoid Disaster!

Upgrading to MySQL version 8.0 is a hot topic since version 5.7 is approaching the official end of life very soon. MySQL 5.7 EOL is set for the end of October 2023.

If you feel unprepared for the upgrade, consider post-EOL support from Percona. But it would be the worst if you proceeded with the upgrade in haste.

  • Long database service downtime
  • Some queries become slow
  • Applications stop working due to incompatibilities
  • Data loss

This is what can happen if MySQL’s major upgrade to 8.0 turns out not as you hoped for. Yes, it can be that serious, so do consider the major upgrade as an important project, not just a routine maintenance task! From my experience as a Support Engineer, I think the most frequent problem is query …

Moodle on OCI with MySQL HeatWave: Extended Architectures – part 1

In the previous post, we saw how to quickly deploy Moodle to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure on Ampere compute instances and using MySQL HeatWave.

In this post, we will explore some other features and the benefits of running on OCI and MySQL HeatWave to extend our architecture dedicated to Moodle in the Cloud.

Read Replicas

Moodle natively offers the possibility of distributing the load between reads and writes. When using MySQL HeatWave Database Service, adding read replicas is also a very easy task. Let’s see how we can benefit from it.

To be able to use MySQL HeatWave Read Replicas, the MySQL shape must have at least 4 OCPUs.

Let’s modify the moodle stack and deploy it again but this time we choose a bigger shape for MySQL:

When everything is ready, …
