How To Set Up A Load-Balanced MySQL Cluster

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the someone-teach-me-please dept.

This cluster is load-balanced by a high-availability load balancer that in fact has two nodes that use the Ultra Monkey package which provides heartbeat (for checking if the other node is still alive) and ldirectord (to split up the requests to the nodes of the MySQL cluster)."

  1. 'Ultra Monkey'? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    One of the major problems with a number of useful open source projects is that their names are terrible for the corporate environment. This is a perfect example of such a project. I sure wouldn't want to pitch the use of this software to a CTO or CIO, even if it was perfect for our database cluster, just because it is called 'Ultra Monkey'. That's just not a professional name, and this product will likely not be taken seriously.
