MySQL Server on Microsoft Azure 3rd part (backup and recovery)

Azure Database for MySQLIntroduction

This blog is the third chapter related to deploying a MySQL infrastructure on the Azure cloud. In addition to performance, we should indeed also consider backup and restore capabilities.

Azure Database for MySQLIntroduction

This second blog follows the first blog about deploying MySQL Server on Microsoft Azure. In the first blog, we saw how easy it is to deploy a MySQL server in minutes on the Azure cloud and we connected on it through the MySQL Shell client.

SysBench stress test

Comparing RonDB 21.04.0 on AWS, Azure and GCP using Sysbench

 

Release of RonDB 21.04.0

RonDB is based on MySQL NDB Cluster optimised for use in modern cloud settings. Today we launch RonDB 21.04.0. In RonDB 21.04.0 we have integrated benchmark scripts to execute various benchmarks towards RonDB.


There are three ways of using RonDB. The first is using the managed version provided by Logical Clocks. This is currently available in AWS and is currently being developed to also support Azure. This is still in limited access mode. To access it contact Logical Clocks at the rondb.com website.


The second way is to use a script provided by Logical Clocks that automates the creation of VMs and the installation of the software components required by RonDB. These scripts are available to create RonDB clusters on Azure and GCP (Google Cloud). This script can be downloaded from nexus.hops.works/rondb-cloud-installer.sh.

Running Galera Cluster on Microsoft Azure and comparing it to their hosted services (EMEA and USA webinar)

Do you want to run Galera Cluster in the Microsoft cloud? Why not learn to setup a 3-node Galera Cluster using Microsoft Azure Compute Virtual Machines, and run it yourself. In this webinar, we will cover the steps to do this, with a demonstration of how easy it is for you to do.

In addition, we will cover why you may want to run a 3-node (or more) Galera Cluster (active-active multi-master clusters) instead of (or in addition to) using Azure Database for MySQL or MariaDB. We will also cover cost comparisons. 

Join us and learn about storage options, backup & recovery, as well as monitoring & metrics options for the “roll your own Galera Cluster” in Azure.
