Percona XtraDB Cluster Reference Architecture


A reference architecture shows a typical, common, best-practice deployment of a system with all the surrounding infrastructure. In the case of database clusters, this can include hosting platform, load balancing, monitoring, backups, etc. A commonly referred to Percona XtraDB Cluster reference architecture was published on the Percona blog in 2012 and is included in the current manual, but is out of date.

This talk will present a revised and updated Percona XtraDB Cluster reference architecture for 2016, including:

  • Load balancing
  • Read/Write splitting
  • Monitoring
  • Backups

This will include some variants, such as:

  • AWS hosting
  • WAN deployments
  • Async slaves
