Last week’s webinar on getting started with MySQL Cluster and the scaling it out is now available to download from http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/on-demand-webinars/display-od-566.html
It was great that so many people were able to attend live but if you missed it then the replay is a good way to catch up.
This session demonstrates how to start an evaluation of the MySQL Cluster database in 5 easy steps, and then how to expand your deployment for web & telecoms-scale services.
The getting started section covers:
- Getting the software
- Installing it
- Configuring it
- Running it
- Testing it
Scaling for HA and the web describes how to:
- Review the requirements for a HA configuration
- Install the software on more servers
- Update & extend the configuration from a single host to 4
- Roll out the changes
- On-line scaling to add further nodes
After a quick introduction, the webinar is very much a hands-on demonstration of these steps; if you want to try it for yourself then I’d suggest also downloading the MySQL Cluster quick start guide for your platform where you’ll also find a Flash video showing the creation of a MySQL Cluster in real-time.
