Migrating to Percona XtraDB Cluster

Many organizations are interested in Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) as a replacement for conventional MySQL® master/slave architectures to eliminate replication lag and achieve a highly-available masterless cluster of MySQL servers. But what would a migration look like?

This recorded webinar provides a high-level overview of Percona XtraDB Cluster, as well as operational concerns, possible migration paths, key configuration tuning variables, and generally everything you'll need to migrate from an existing Master/Slave environment to Percona XtraDB Cluster. This talk will primarily be an operational discussion; it will not cover in-depth details on how the cluster works.

We will cover such questions as:

What are the requirements for running Percona XtraDB Cluster?
Will I have to reload all my tables?
How does configuration for the cluster differ from configuring a stand-alone InnoDB server?
How should my application interact with the Cluster?
Can I use Percona XtraDB Cluster if I only have two MySQL servers currently?
How can I move to the Cluster and keep downtime to a minimum?
How can I migrate to Percona XtraDB Cluster gradually?

This webinar was originally given in June of 2012, but has been updated for 2014 and Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6.
