MySQL-Cluster

Performance and High Availability with MySQL Cluster

MySQL is used more and more often in business critical applications. If you have to process a huge amount of data in short time and High Availability is a requirement a simple Master/Slave replication is not sufficient anymore.

To close this gap, MySQL Cluster is made for unless you do it right. But this high performance tool has also its rough edges. In this course you will get an overview about the different High Availability solutions of MySQL. And you will learn, how a MySQL Cluster is set-up and operated correctly and what he does not like very much.

The whole is first covered in theory and then we exercise the most important steps together in practice.
