CoreOS Fleet and Etcd provide a simple and eloquent framework for application clusters to both auto-configure and recover from node failure. Galera Cluster is a multi-master, open solution for clustering MySQL. Mix the two, sprinkle in a bit of “glue” and you have a Docker based MySQL cluster that will react automatically to container failure. This presentation will cover the nuts and bolts of automating a Galera Cluster, built from Docker Images and deployed in a distributed fashion using etcd, confd, and fleet for both initial and failure recovery configuration.
