MS Azure Database for MySQL vs. Continuent Tungsten Clusters
Building a Geo-Scale, Multi-Region and Highly Available MySQL Cloud Back-End
This is the third of our High Noon series covering MySQL clustering solutions for high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and geographic distribution.
Azure Database for MySQL is a managed database cluster within Microsoft Azure Cloud that runs MySQL community edition. There are really two deployment options: “Single Server” and “Flexible Server (Preview).” We will look at the Flexible Server version, even though it is still preview, because most enterprise applications require failover, so this is the relevant comparison for Tungsten Clustering.
You may use Tungsten Clustering with native MySQL, MariaDB or Percona Server for MySQL in GCP, AWS, Azure, and/or on-premises data centers for better technological capabilities, control, and flexibility. But learn about the pros and cons!
Enjoy the webinar!

PaaSport to Paradise: Lifting & Shifting with Azure SQL Database/Managed Inst...Sandy Winarko
This session focuses on the all PaaS solution of Azure SQL DB/Managed Instance (MI) + SSIS in Azure Data Factory (ADF) to lift & shift, modernize, and extend ETL workflows. We will first show you how to provision Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime (IR) – dedicated ADF servers for running SSIS – with SSIS catalog (SSISDB) hosted by Azure SQL DB/MI, configure it to access data on premises using Windows authentication and Virtual Network injection/Self-Hosted IR as a proxy, and extend it with custom/Open Source/3rd party components. We will next show you how to use the familiar SSDT/SSMS tools to design/test/deploy/execute your SSIS packages in the cloud just like you do on premises. We will finally show you how to modernize your ETL workflows by invoking/scheduling SSIS package executions as first-class activities in ADF pipelines and combining/chaining them with other activities, allowing you to trigger your pipeline runs by events, automatically (de)provision SSIS IR just in time, etc.

Azure SQL Database Introduction by Tim RadneyHasan Savran
Have you been hearing about Azure Managed Instances and want to know what all the fuss is about? Come see how Managed Instances is changing how we think about cloud databases. Managed Instances can be considered a hybrid of Azure SQL Database and on-premises SQL Server with all the awesome benefits of Platform as a Service. You’ll get to see first-hand how easy it is to migrate databases from on-premises to a Managed Instance. We’ll explore the differences between Azure SQL Database, Managed Instances, and SQL Server on an Azure VM to help you determine what is the best fit for your organization. If you’ve been considering Azure for your organization, this session is for you!
Azure SQL Database now has a Managed Instance, for near 100% compatibility for lifting-and-shifting applications running on Microsoft SQL Server to Azure. Contact me for more information.

Webinar Slides: High Noon at AWS — Amazon RDS vs. Tungsten Clustering with My...Continuent
Amazon Web Services (AWS) are gaining popularity, and for good reasons. The Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) is getting a lot of attention, also for very good reasons. It is quite a compelling idea to have on-demand data services that do not require hiring DBA staff. The expectation is set that everything works like magic and will satisfy all of your enterprise database availability needs.
If you want to build high-volume, business-critical applications, possibly with geographically-distributed audiences, you really want to think twice about using RDS. Continuent customers have a large number deployments in AWS running MySQL on AWS EC2 instances and they choose to rely upon Tungsten Clustering to provide high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR). We also support multi-site/multi-master operations and offer true zero-downtime MySQL operations.
AGENDA
- How does RDS handle failover? (Hint: Not very quickly)
- How does RDS handle read scaling? (Hint: Not very well)
- Can you do zero-downtime maintenance with RDS? (Hint: No)
- Is RDS cheaper? (Hint: No, not really)

OpenStack Days East -- MySQL Options in OpenStackMatt Lord
In most production OpenStack installations, you want the backing metadata store to be highly available. For this, the de facto standard has become MySQL+Galera. In order to help you meet this basic use case even better, I will introduce you to the brand new native MySQL HA solution called MySQL Group Replication. This allows you to easily go from a single instance of MySQL to a MySQL service that's natively distributed and highly available, while eliminating the need for any third party library and implementations.
If you have an extremely large OpenStack installation in production, then you are likely to eventually run into write scaling issues and the metadata store itself can become a bottleneck. For this use case, MySQL NDB Cluster can allow you to linearly scale the metadata store as your needs grow. I will introduce you to the core features of MySQL NDB Cluster--which include in-memory OLTP, transparent sharding, and support for active/active multi-datacenter clusters--that will allow you to meet even the most demanding of use cases with ease.
MySQL Cluster - Latest Developments (up to and including MySQL Cluster 7.4)Andrew Morgan
MySQL Cluster is the distributed, shared-nothing version of MySQL. It’s typically used for applications that need any combination of high availability, real-time performance, and scaling of reads and writes. After a brief introduction to the technology, its uses, and the new features added in MySQL Cluster 7.3, this session focuses on the very latest developments happening in MySQL Cluster 7.4. As you’d expect from a real-time, scalable, distributed, in-memory database, performance continues to be a top priority, as do simplicity of use and robustness. Come hear firsthand what’s being done to make sure MySQL Cluster continues to dominate in mission-critical, high-performance applications.

- Amazon RDS
- Google Cloud SQL
- HPCloud DBaaS
- Rackspace Openstack DBaaS
The administration tools and ideologies behind it are completely different, and you are in a "locked-down" environment. Some considerations include:
* Different backup strategies
* Planning for multiple data centres for availability
* Where do you host your application?
* How do you get the most performance out of the solution?
* What does this all cost?
Questions like this will be demystified in the talk.

Is "Free" Good Enough for Your MySQL Environment?Datavail
MySQL can be the perfect answer for fast-growing, highly-performant and geographically-distributed database environments, but in order to function as a business-critical system with immediate response times, the ubiquitous database server needs a little help.
That’s where Continuent and Datavail come in. Combined, these two companies, which specialize in making MySQL and other databases perform continuously, have helped hundreds of enterprise, mid-market and start-up companies alike, including many in the data-dependent SaaS, e-commerce, financial services and gaming industries.
In addition, we’ll dive into why ‘managed’ database-as-a-service solutions, may not be quite as self-managing as people would like to believe. You’ll hear several case studies on how clients are effectively utilizing Continuent Tungsten software and Datavail services to optimize their MySQL environments.

Azure Cloud for MySQL Characteristics
• Flexible Server (in preview)
• Managed Deployment of MySQL Databases
• Flexible Point and Click backups
• Retain up to 35 automated (daily) backups
• On demand backups
• Point in time backups
• Restore point in time backup to new instance
• Automatic failover (with a standby instance with synchronous replication)
• Up to 10 read replicas (with asynchronous replication)
• Encryption of in-flight and at rest traffic
12. The MySQL Availability
Company
Replication within Azure Database for MySQL
• Standby instance (Flexible Server)
• Special instance, max of 1, to act as a failover candidate
• Cannot be used for reads or any transaction processing
• Synchronous Replication
• Priced the same as primary instance
• Read Replica
• Provision up to 10, can be used for reads, but not failover
• Requires binary logging on the primary
• Uses asynchronous replication
• Priced as a stand-alone MySQL instance
• Connect to Read Replica using its IP address
• Cross Region Read Replica (Single Server)
13. The MySQL Availability
Company
Azure Database for MySQL Multi Site Requirements
• Not Supported with Flexible Server, must use “Single Server”
• Create Primary instance
• One the Azure Portal, select “Replication” under SETTINGS, the “Add Replica”
• When adding a replica, the instance will need to restart
• Database will be down – must be planned
• You cannot create a replica of a replica
• Promote a read replica (same process for local or regional):
• Stop replication to replica
• This delinks the replica from the source (about 2 minutes to complete)
• Point applications to the newly promoted replica
• The newly promoted replica is now a stand-alone instance
14. The MySQL Availability
Company
Limitations Using Azure Database for MySQL
• Have to choose between failover or cross-region replication:
• “Single Server” has no failover (just simple server restart)
• “Flexible Server” has standby replicas but no cross-region replication
• “Flexible Server” is still in preview
• Write intensive workloads may perform poorly due to synchronous replication (Flexible server)
• Only a single failover candidate in a cluster, which cannot be used for reads (Flexible server)
• Limited Cross Region support – Simple replication from primary to secondary only (Single Server)
• No MySQL proxy included
• Cross region failover results in standalone primary – all other regions must be reprovisioned (Single
Server)
• Linear pricing – use 5x more instances, pay 5x more
• Applications must be read/write aware to use read replicas
• Database maintenance and schema changes will cause application outages.
