MySQL/Galera Release 1.0 - Replication Redefined

MySQL/Galera Release 1.0 has slipped from our hands, we could not hold back it anymore. The pressure was just too immense from the community, our partners, and our new sales guy (specials thanks to Sakari for kicking some engineer ass).

So, the infection is underway, and there will be no return to the steam-age with async replication. Galera is replication redefined - and this is permanent. Biggest news in this release is that we now support both MySQL 5.1 and 5.5 series. Other nice features (since 0.8.1 level) include:

• replication over SSL
• garbd - the lightweight arbitator
• causal read support
• persistent write set buffering

Not all that can be expressed with one sentence. but believe, me you are dying to to get it, because you cannot live without it.

So, there it is: www.codership.com/downloads/download-mysqlgalera/ .

And there is even more to it. Our beloved western neighbors, brave dudes from Severalnines have worked, if possible, even harder than us and are releasing Severalnines ClusterControl for MySQL Galera. ClusterControl provides three utilities:

• configurator
• monitor
• management

...which pretty much cover all the tasks you need to do with your cluster.

Check out: www.severalnines.com/galera-configurator to get started. With the configurator, you just fill in your system information, and you will receive a tarball with deployment script, which will install and configure your MySQL/Galera cluster automatically.

So there goes, now back to PerconaLive - it is intense here!
