Welcome to this week’s Planets9s, covering all the latest resources and technologies we create around automation and management of open source database infrastructures.
 | Watch the replay of our MySQL Database Performance Tuning webinarThanks to everyone who participated in this week’s popular webinar on MySQL Database Performance Tuning, which discussed the following topics: database tuning overview, principles of the tuning process, tuning the Operating System configuration and the MySQL configuration, useful tools such as pt-summary and pt-mysql-summary and what to avoid when tuning OS and MySQL configuration. The replay of this webinar is now available online! | |
Upgrading to MySQL 5.7 - The Database Upgrade GuideDuring this week’s webinar on MySQL database performance tuning, a lot of participants expressed their interest in upgrading to MySQL 5.7. If that’s the case for you as well, then our new whitepaper on how to do so will hopefully be of help. Upgrading to a new major version involves risk, and it is important to plan the whole process carefully. In this whitepaper, we look at the important new changes in MySQL 5.7 and how to plan the test process, do a live system upgrade without downtime, avoid connection failures during slave restarts and switchover, or how to leverage ProxySQL to achieve a graceful upgrade process. |  | |
 | Try NinesControl: deploy and monitor MySQL Galera clusters on Digital OceanWe recently announced the public availability of NinesControl (beta), our database infrastructure management solution for the cloud. Designed with the needs of developers in mind, NinesControl enables users to easily deploy and monitor (MySQL) Galera clusters on DigitalOcean. Droplets are launched and managed using your own DigitalOcean account. We’d love to get your feedback on this new solution if you haven’t tested it yet, so please check it out and let us know what you think. | |
MySQL Docker containers: understanding the basicsWelcome to our new blog series - “MySQL on Docker” - in which we will touch upon swarms, shared volumes, data-only-containers, security and configuration management, multi-host networking, service discovery and implications on monitoring when we move from host-centric to role-centric services with shorter life cycles. In this initial post, we cover some basics around running MySQL in a container. |  | |
That’s it for this week! Feel free to share these resources with your colleagues and follow us in our social media channels.
