Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Kedar Vaijanapurkar; MySQL 8 is GA and it has a variety of new features. Recently, we happened to work with resource groups to restrict resource utilization for a MySQL thread.

Feed: AWS Partner Network (APN) Blog. Author: Phil de Valence. By Barry Tait, Director of Modernization and Cloud Strategies at Modern SystemsMainframe modernization has shifted to go well beyond simple cost-cutting measures. Mainframe legacy owners now expect additional gains such as conversion to maintainable object-oriented languages, shift of infrastructure to leverage elastic Amazon Web Services (AWS), and development of agile-based processes.

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Severalnines; Deploying a database cluster is not rocket science - there are many how-to’s on how to do that. But how do you know what you just deployed is production-ready? Manual deployments can also be tedious and repetitive. Depending on the number of nodes in the cluster, the deployment steps may be time-consuming and error-prone. Configuration management tools like Puppet, Chef and Ansible are popular in deploying infrastructure, but for stateful database clusters, you need to perform significant scripting to handle deployment of the whole database HA stack.

A competitor at the time, ClustRa, solved this by using a backup transaction coordinator. Given that NDB Cluster had requirements to ... Read More
