Database as a ServiceMySQL on Ceph “Sneak Preview”

Red Hat WebcastApril 2016https://www.redhat.com/en/about/events/mysql-and-ceph-database-service-sneak-preview

• Ceph #1 block storage for OpenStack clouds

• MySQL #4 workload on OpenStack

(#1-3 often use databases too!)

• Ceph leading open-source SDS

• MySQL leading open-source RDBMS

WHY MYSQL ON CEPH?MARKET DRIVERS

• Shared, elastic storage pool

• Dynamic DB placement

• Flexible volume resizing

• Live instance migration

• Backup to object pool

• Read replicas via copy-on-write snapshots

WHY MYSQL ON CEPH?OPS EFFICIENCY

WHY MYSQL ON CEPH?PUBLIC CLOUD FIDELITY

• Hybrid Cloud requires familiar platforms

• Developers want platform consistency

• Block storage, like the big kids

• Object storage, like the big kids

• Your hardware, datacenter, staff

WHY MYSQL ON CEPH?HYBRID CLOUD REQUIRES HIGH IOPS

Ceph Provides• Spinning Block – General Purpose

• Object Storage - Capacity

• SSD Block – High IOPS

Hyperconverged Storage: RHEV+RHGS

An Emerging Use Case

HYPERCONVERGED RHEV AND RED HAT GLUSTER STORAGE

USE CASE: Hyperconverged RHEV and RHGS

HYPERCONVERGED

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for management of virtualization:

● Lower cost virutalization platform● Enterprise virtualization features● Simple-to-use management interface

Red Hat Gluster Storage provides storage for virtual machine images:

● Utilize storage on the compute servers● Improves performance and reliability● Single pane of glass for management
