In this blog post, we will show you how you can monitoring your database clusters using your terminal and the s9s Command Line Interface.
Prometheus is an open-source software for monitoring and alerting, it depends on exporters to ‘scrape’ information from e.g., MySQL running on Docker. In this blog, we’ll see how to deploy the database as well as the monitoring stack with Prometheus and its components. We’ll do this for both MySQL running on standalone Docker containers as well as a Galera Cluster running on Docker Swarm.
Asynchronous replication places no low latency demands on the network, so it is possible to keep Galera Clusters in sync even when they are thousands of miles apart and utilise low-cost connections. We effectively can achieve a global system of loosely-coupled clusters. However, managing the global state translates into managing failover and failback operations at both node and cluster level.
Galera automatic node provisioning and membership control simplifies database cluster operation and improves the reliability of its replication technology. In this blog post, we are diving into the Galera recovery process in events where network partitioning happens.
Galera Cluster comes with many cool features and advantages over traditional asynchronous replication, but these do not automatically translate into higher performance. In this blog post, we will look at what drives MySQL/MariaDB Galera performance, and see how we can get the most out of the cluster.
So you’ve deployed MariaDB cluster on Docker, what next? What do you do when containers fail or are rescheduled, and IP addresses change? How do you ensure that the database adapts to changes to the underlying container configurations? In this follow-up blog post, we’ll look into cluster management and orchestration of Galera cluster on Docker.
Container orchestration tools do not always play nicely with database clusters. In this blog post, we are going to look into how to run a MariaDB Galera Cluster on Docker containers using the standard Docker image on multiple Docker hosts without the help of orchestration tools like Swarm or Kubernetes.
Split brain syndrome is a state where a cluster of nodes is partitioned into smaller clusters of equal numbers of nodes, and each cluster believes it is the active cluster. This is a harmful state, as data is changed on a partition, without being replicated to the other. This blog post describes how to prevent a split brain from happening, and what can be done if it does happen.
Watch the replay of this webinar on how to migrate to Galera Cluster for MySQL & MariaDB. Severalnines Support Engineer Bart Oles walks us through what you need to know in order to migrate from standalone or a master-slave MySQL/MariaDB setup to Galera Cluster.
ClusterControl 1.6 comes with tighter integration with AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, so it is now possible to launch new instances and deploy MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and PostgreSQL directly from the ClusterControl user interface. This blog post shows you how.
