Building a High-Availability MySQL Cluster (O'ReillyNet)

[Posted February 17, 2006 by ris]

O'ReillyNet looks at building a high-availability MySQL cluster. "When building highly available clusters, people often choose one extra physical machine per service, creating an A-B, fail-over schema. With static websites, there is no problem making the application highly available; you can just store the data in two places. However, the moment you add a database to your environment, things start to become more difficult. The easy way out is to move the database to a different machine and move that server into a SEP field."

Had to read the article just for the author's use of a Somebody Else's
