Advanced MariaDB for High Availability and Performance Course Overview

The "Advanced MariaDB for High Availability and Performance" course is designed to equip learners with a comprehensive understanding of how to optimize MariaDB for scalable, high-performance, and highly available database environments. Through 19 modules, participants will delve into a variety of advanced topics ranging from installation, configuration, and architecture to various replication setups, security, and performance tuning.

Starting with the basics, learners will familiarize themselves with the installation and configuration of MariaDB, followed by an in-depth exploration of its architecture. The course then covers critical aspects of data backup and restoration, including Point-in-Time Recovery (PiTR), and guides students through securing their database installations.

The curriculum progresses into the realm of high availability, discussing master-slave and master-master replication, the implementation of virtual IPs for failover, and read/write distribution strategies. An entire module is dedicated to Galera Cluster, which enables active-active clustering for fault tolerance and scalability.

To ensure optimal database performance, the course also includes lessons on load balancing, performance tuning, hardware optimization, schema tuning, indexing, and SQL query tuning. Profiling techniques are taught to help learners identify and address performance bottlenecks.

By the end of this course, participants will be well-versed in the advanced functionalities of MariaDB, ready to implement high-performance solutions that ensure data availability and integrity in their organizations.
