VMware chose to migrate key MySQL database from Galera (MariaDB Cluster) to Tungsten. In this blog we will look at the key reasons for why VMware ultimately decided that Tungsten Cluster would better fit their multi-site MySQL clusters.

Prometheus and Grafana are open source tools that can be used for monitoring MySQL clusters. Prometheus can be used to collect metrics from MySQL clusters, and Grafana can be used to visualize the metrics. Starting with Tungsten v7+ and the new Tungsten APIv2, it’s become easy to leverage the best these powerful monitoring tools have to offer.

This blog post will walk you through configuring HA Proxy for the Tungsten Dashboard, along with the new command `tpm generate-haproxy-for-api` which helps automate the process by translating existing INI files into haproxy.cfg config file format. The Tungsten Dashboard is a browser-based GUI, designed to make using a Tungsten Cluster as easy as possible.

This post shares the links to three short demo videos, each an easy-to-follow walk-through of how to launch 3-node single, active/passive or active/active Tungsten MySQL clusters using AWS CloudFormation.
