For those wanting to become more familiar with Percona XtraDB Cluster or if you just one to test its capabilities, I have prepared an easy Vagrant setup ready to deploy.
It contains the puppet recipes to install and configure a cluster of 3 nodes and a load balancer (glb) running on the first node.
To be able to test it, these are the prerequisites you need to have on your system:
- VirtualBox
- Vagrant
- A CentOS Vagrant base box (you don’t need this one if you already have one)
Then you can find all the necessary files on my github repository: https://github.com/lefred/percona-cluster
This is a step-by-step “terminalcast”:
I hope this quick howto of XtraDB Cluster will help you testing this great MySQL server.
great, many thanks. i’m already using this on a very small testing development and i like it but having a test suite like this can make testing faster
The Cent OS Base box link no longer works – is their a mirror?
