I’ve had the opportunity to train lots of people onPercona XtraDB Cluster(PXC) over the last few years the product has existed. This has taken the form of phone calls, emails, blog posts, webinars, and consulting engagements. This doesn’t count all the time I’ve spent grilling Codership on how things actually work. But it has culminated in the PXC tutorial I have given annually atPercona Live MySQL Conference and Expoin Santa Clara, California for the last two years. Baron even attended this year and had this say:
“Jay Janssen’s tutorial on Percona XtraDB Cluster was impressive. I can’t imagine how much time he must have spent preparing for that.”
(Baron: Thanks for this compliment, BTW) The answer is: I haven’t kept track, but I’ve delivered it 3 times at conferences and it gets better each time. I started working on it during the summer of 2012 for Percona Live NYC that year and have put in countless hours since making it better. This year, despite my voice problems, I was really happy with how it came out.
We’ve had lots of requests for repeats of this tutorial and with more detail. As such, I’ll be doing a 2-day training about MySQL HA with Percona XtraDB Cluster in sunny San Jose, California on July 16th -17th 2014. ThisPercona MySQL Trainingsession is appropriately titled, “MySQL High Availability With Percona XtraDB Cluster” and you can get more information and alsoregister here.
This course will include an overview of how Percona XtraDB Cluster fits into the MySQL High Availability world, followed by a deep-dive into PXC. All the content of the tutorial will be covered, but it will be spread out with more details on all the components and important bits of using PXC and Galera.
If you’re unfamiliar with my tutorial — it is intensively hands-on. This will not be 2 days of lecture: You’ll be setting up and experimenting with a real cluster on the fly during the class. Expect plenty of command-line work and to leave with a much better sense of how to truly operate and use a Percona XtraDB Cluster.
