Cloud Computing

With SkySQL Cloud Data Suite, beta release, users can configure their clusters of MySQL nodes to be deployed in Amazon EC2 with four simple clicks, or they can use a more advanced configuration to take full control of the deployed systems. The cluster can be automatically deployed in the Amazon EC2 account of the user, securely and without further interaction. Once deployed, the users can benefit from a fully functional and secure cluster of MariaDB instances, fully compatible with the MySQL database and configured to provide high availability and high performance.

Database administrators can use a graphical console to execute administrative tasks such as backup, restore, node isolation and re-configuration of the deployed nodes. The elasticity of the system is guaranteed by special features available from the same console. For example, one or more nodes can be scheduled to go offline for some hours and come back online during peak times. In case of failure, the integrated master high availability tool guarantees automatic failover and data synchronisation from one master node to one of the available slave nodes. Node fallback is also a simple operation that can be activated with a single click from the administration console. The graphical interface is simple enough for system administrators with limited DBA experience to effectively manage a cluster of cloud database instances.
