Testing Percona XtraDB Cluster with Vagrant

For those wanting to become more familiar with Percona XtraDB Cluster or if you just one to test its capabilities, I have prepared an easy Vagrant setup ready to deploy.

It contains the puppet recipes to install and configure a cluster of 3 nodes and a load balancer (glb) running on the first node.

To be able to test it, these are the prerequisites you need to have on your system:

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant
• A CentOS Vagrant base box (you don’t need this one if you already have one)

Then you can find all the necessary files on my github repository: https://github.com/lefred/percona-cluster

This is a step-by-step “terminalcast”:

I hope this quick howto of XtraDB Cluster will help you testing this great MySQL server.
