Oracle recently released Read Replica for MySQL Database Service (also known as MySQL HeatWave, with or without the use of HeatWave accelerator for OLTP and OLAP).

Read Replicas are read-only copies of the MySQL DB system in the same region. When you add Read Replicas, they are automatically distributed accross Availability Domains and/or Fault Domains.

Each MySQL DB instance can have up to 18 read replicas.

Read Replicas use MySQL Asynchronous Replication with parallel workers. And when you create the first Read Replica, a Read Replica Load Balancer is created, which distributes read traffic among the read replicas.

Not all shapes are compatible with Read Replicas, the …

Matomo is a Google Analytics alternative for your websites. If you follow my blog, you know how easy it’s to deploy popular Open Source web solutions like WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, Moodle, Magento on OCI. If this is not yet your case, please check this page: deploy on OCI.

All these solutions are using MySQL Database Service to store their data.

I’ve recently added a new stack to also deploy Matomo. Of course this can be a standalone installation to collect all your analytics from self-hosted websites, but today I will describe you how to use it with an existing stack we already deployed on OCI.

For this example, I deployed WordPress using the following stack: …

Hello fine gourmets, for my first dish in the FoggyKitchen.com, I decide to present you how to deploy WordPress on OCI using MySQL Database Service aka MDS.

I wrote some Terraform recipes that you can find on my GitHub repository: oci-wordpress-mds.

In this first post, I will show how easy it’s to deploy directly from OCI’s dashboard using Resource Manager’s stack. I will also share the recent additions.

The first think to do is to download the stack in releases from GitHub:

When the zip file is downloaded locally, you can login in …

During the MDS webinar on how to deploy WordPress on OCI using MDS (slides & video), I briefly explained how to deploy the full architecture on OCI using Resource Manager and Stacks.

The Stack for that architecture is now available on my github: https://github.com/lefred/oci-wordpress-mds/releases/tag/0.0.1

To deploy it, it’s very easy. In OCI’s Dashboard, go on “Resource Manager” and then choose “Stacks“:

Create a new stack and just drop the …

Today we will see how to use MySQL Database Service aka MDS with WordPress.

To achieve this easy task, we will use the architecture we already deployed in this article.

We have then two Compute Instances on OCI, 1 running WordPress (Apache and PHP) and one running MySQL 8.0.

The Plan

This is how we will proceed to migrate to MDS with minimal maintenance time, we will:

1. create a MDS instance
2. verify if the database is ready to act as replication source
3. dump the MySQL instance running on OCI for being migrated to MDS.
4. load the dump in MDS
5. create a user dedicated to the replication
6. create a replication channel on MDS (from OCI to MDS)
7. modify WordPress config to point to MDS

Create a MDS …

With this post we are reaching the end of our journey to HA for WordPress & MySQL 8.0 on OCI.

If you have not read the two previous articles, this is just the right time.

• MySQL 8.0 InnoDB ReplicaSet with WordPress in OCI
• MySQL 8.0 InnoDB ReplicaSet with WordPress in OCI – part II

We started this trip using the MySQL InnoDB ReplicaSet where only 2 servers are sufficient but doesn’t provide automatic fail-over.

In this article we will upgrade our InnoDB ReplicaSet to …

This article is the second part of our journey to WordPress and MySQL 8.0 High Availability on OCI. The first part can be read here.

We ended part I with one webserver hosting WordPress. This WordPress was connecting locally to MySQL Router using HyperDB add-on. This add-on allows to split the reads & writes on MySQL Servers using replication. And finally we had one MySQL InnoDB ReplicaSet of two …
