Deploying Database Clusters in the Cloud
summary
Describes real deployments: uses CentOS images plus masterless puppet to configure clusters in parallel, raids multiple EBS volumes, snapshots and backs up to S3 with extra_backup, and adds in-application encryption to avoid VPNs. Reports frequent EC2 instance failures (daily), recommends more than two DB nodes, cross-region and cross-provider replication (AWS plus Rackspace), and full monitoring (Nagios/Zabbix/New Relic). Demonstrates provisioning 15 nodes across five datacenters in 32 minutes and plans auto-scaling with read/write split; argues for pets versus cattle operational mindset.
