[Read more]We recently had a customer request to run Galera Cluster on Oracle Linux. We are pleased to tell you that you can use the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 repositories: for the latest Galera Cluster with MySQL 8 and the wsrep library.
It is worth noting that while it is difficult to find an Oracle Linux image in many cloud providers, there is Oracle Cloud that offers Oracle Linux as a default. However, remember that if you are using Oracle Cloud, you still have to configure the firewalls, etc. to ensure that Galera network traffic can still pass between the nodes.
If using Oracle Cloud, we picked this image: Oracle-Linux-8.9-2024.05.29-0.

[Read more]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 …

[Read more]An inordinate amount of our Galera Cluster customer base is still using the MySQL 5.7 variant of Galera Cluster. Besides not being able to have access to all the new features of the Galera 4 library, MySQL 5.7 is rapidly reaching End of Life (EOL) status in October 2023. This is less than six months away, and it is also why we would like to focus on getting our users upgraded to MySQL 8.0 with Galera Cluster.
Firstly, MySQL 8 has been Generally Available (GA) since 19 April 2018. That is a whole five years, and you must by now, already know that there is a new release model, where there are new features included in minor releases. The release notes are a must read.
