High Availability Landscape of MySQL

Monty Taylor (Rackspace Cloud)
3:05pm Tuesday, 04/15/2008
MySQL Cluster and High Availability
 Location: Ballroom C

A walk through of all of the different HA choices, with a focus on being very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of each choice to help people pick the right one for their situation. There isn’t one Silver Bullet that solves everyone’s problems, and we’ll convey that as well.

What we will not cover (except where we have not choice) is scale out or load balancing. That’s a bit out of scope and makes the conversation more difficult. We want pre-sales types and n00bs to be able to come out of the talk more informed.

Specific tech to look at: 

Cluster Management: 
RH Cluster Manager
Heartbeat v1
Heartbeat v2
MySQL Cluster
MMM
Data Management: 
MySQL Cluster
DRBD
Replication
Continuent uni/cluster
