Azure/Moodle: Tooling and guidance on deploying Scalable Moodle Clusters on Azure.

Tooling and guidance on deploying Scalable Moodle Clusters on Azure.

This repo contains guides and Azure Resource Manager templates designed to help you deploy and manage a highly available and scalable Moodle cluster on Azure. In addition, the repo contains other useful information relevant to running Moodle on Azure such as a listing of Azure-relevant Moodle plugins and information on how to offer Moodle as a Managed Application on the Azure Marketplace or on an IT Service Catalog.

MySQL Cluster | Andrew Morgan on Databases

MySQL Cluster powers the subscriber databases of major communication services providers as well as next generation web, cloud, social and mobile applications. It is designed to deliver:

  • Real-time, in-memory performance for both OLTP and analytics workloads
  • Linear scale-out for both reads and writes
  • 99.999% High Availability
  • Transparent, cross-shard transactions and joins
  • Update-Anywhere Geographic replication
  • SQL or native NoSQL APIs
  • All that while still providing full ACID transactions.

Understand some of the highlights of MySQL Cluster 7.4:

  • 200 Million queries per minute
  • Active-Active geographic replication with conflict detection and resolution
  • 5x faster on-line maintenance activities
  • Enhanced reporting for memory and database operations

Netflix/dynomite: A generic master-master dynamo implementation for different k-v storage engines – Redis and Memcached

As the request goes through a Dynomite node, the data gets replicated and eventually stored in the target storage. The data can then be read back either through Dynomite or directly from the underlying storage’s API.

Dynomite and the target storage engine run on the same node. Clients connect to Dynomite, and requests are proxied to either the storage engine on the same node or to Dynomite processes running on other nodes.

Dynomite, inspired by Dynamo whitepaper, is a thin, distributed dynamo layer for different storage engines and protocols. Currently these include Redis and Memcached. Dynomite supports multi-datacenter replication and is designed for high availability.

The ultimate goal with Dynomite is to be able to implement high availability and cross-datacenter replication on storage engines that do not inherently provide that functionality. The implementation is efficient, not complex (few moving parts), and highly performant.

nginx as Database Load Balancer for MySQL or MariaDB Galera Cluster | Severalnines

Recently, nginx 1.9 introduced support for TCP load balancing – similar to what HAProxy is capable of. The one major drawback is that it does not support advanced backend health checks. This is required when running MySQL Galera Cluster, as we’ll explain in the next section. Note that this limitation is removed in the paid-only edition called NGINX Plus.
