Deploy Percona XtraDB Cluster on Google Compute Engine
Friday, November 21, 2014
Implementing
high-availability for MySQL
can easily become complicated with so many options, including some that go a step further in combining high-availability with multi-master replication in a cluster format and more. Not to mention that besides
MySQL’s own replication
functionality, separate open source projects also include
Tungsten Replicator
and
Galera
, amongst others. It’s clear that
each option has pros and cons
, and selecting the best option for your specific use case can require a lot of research and testing.
That's why today we’re going to try making this process easier by introducing
Click to Deploy Percona XtraDB Cluster
to help you simply launch a cluster preconfigured and ready-to-use in just a few clicks. Percona is an open source company supporting MySQL that provides a convenient package called
Percona XtraDB Cluster
, which combines
Percona Server
with Galera replication software. Using Percona XtraDB Cluster, developers can set up and configure a multi-master MySQL cluster with
additional performance, scalability and diagnostic improvements
over standard MySQL. Plus, Percona software is open source and compatible with existing MySQL environments.
Along with Percona XtraDB Cluster, each server node includes
Percona Toolkit
, a set of command-line tools for administering MySQL, giving developers more flexibility in their options for MySQL clustering. Our goal with this Click to Deploy application is to provide an environment to evaluate Percona XtraDB Cluster as a solid option in high-availability MySQL. We want to help illustrate how Google Compute Engine can be used on a team already using MySQL, so you can build your applications however way you like.
