Webinar October 4, 2017: Databases in the Hosted Cloud

Join Percona’s Chief Evangelist, Colin Charles as he presents Databases in the Hosted Cloud on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, at 7:00 am PDT / 10:00 am EDT (UTC-7).

Today you can use hosted MySQL/MariaDB/Percona Server for MySQL/PostgreSQL in several “cloud providers” as a database as a service (DBaaS). Learn the differences, the access methods and the level of control you have for the various public databases in the hosted cloud offerings:

• Amazon RDS including Aurora
• Google Cloud SQL
• Rackspace OpenStack DBaaS
• Oracle Cloud’s MySQL Service

The administration tools and ideologies behind each are completely different, and you are in a “locked-down” environment. Some considerations include:

• Different backup strategies
• Planning for multiple data centers for availability
• Where do you host your application?
• How do you get the most performance out of the solution?
• What does this all cost?
• Monitoring

Growth topics include:

• How do you move from one DBaaS to another?
• How do you move from a DBaaS to your own hosted platform?
