Intro to MySQL in the Cloud (+Redis too)


Details
"MySQL in the Hosted Cloud" - Today you can use MySQL/ MariaDB/ Percona Server in several clouds (aka "cloud providers"). This is considered using it as a service, or database as a service (DBaaS). In this talk, Colin Charles will explain the differences, the access methods, and the level of control you have for the various public cloud offerings: (Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL, Rackspace OpenStack DBaaS, Oracle Cloud's MySQL Service, etc.)
The admin tools and ideologies behind each are completely different, and you are in a "locked-down" environment. Some considerations include:
- Different backup strategies
- Planning for multiple data centers for availability
- Where do you host your application?
- How do you get the most performance out of the solution?* What does this all cost?
Growth topics include:
- How do you move from one DBaaS to another?
- How do you move all this from DBaaS to your own hosted platform?
Questions like this will be demystified in the talk. This talk will benefit experienced database administrators (DBAs) who now also have to deal with cloud deployments as well as application developers in startups that have to rely on "managed services" without the ability of a DBA.
