Course Overview

The Advanced MariaDB for High Availability and Performance course by MariaDB is designed for database administrators, system administrators, and developers responsible for managing mission-critical database environments. This comprehensive program covers advanced configurations for ensuring continuous availability and optimal performance of MariaDB deployments, aligning closely with the skills tested in the MariaDB Certified Database Administrator Associate exam. Participants will gain expertise in high-availability architectures, replication strategies, and performance optimization techniques essential for modern data-driven applications. With over 600,000 active MariaDB deployments worldwide, including enterprises like Google and Wikipedia, demand for certified professionals with deep high-availability expertise continues to grow across cloud and on-premises infrastructures.

This course provides hands-on experience with core MariaDB technologies including Galera Cluster for active-active clustering, MariaDB MaxScale for intelligent load balancing and read/write splitting, InnoDB and ColumnStore storage engines, and MariaDB Backup for reliable recovery operations. Students will configure a fully synchronized multi-master cluster using Galera, implement virtual IP failover, and set up MaxScale to route queries based on real-time node health and workload type. The lab environment simulates enterprise scenarios using preconfigured MariaDB Enterprise Server instances where learners build a complete high-availability solution. A key project involves deploying a geo-distributed cluster with automated failover and load-balanced read scaling, using MaxScale’s readwritesplit and galeramon modules to ensure data consistency and service continuity under failure conditions.

By completing the Advanced MariaDB for High Availability and Performance training, participants are fully prepared for the MariaDB Certified Database Administrator Associate certification, which validates essential skills recognized by employers globally. Certified professionals report average salary increases of 20-30%, with senior DBAs commanding salaries upwards of $120,000 in North America. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning experience with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official MariaDB courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery of complex clustering and tuning concepts. Graduates emerge ready to design and manage resilient, high-performance database infrastructures that support enterprise-scale applications and cloud-native workloads.

Prerequisites

Recommended knowledge before taking this course
  • ["Completion of the MariaDB Standard DBA course or equivalent MariaDB database administration experience is recommended before taking the Advanced MariaDB for High Availability and Performance course. A solid understanding of SQL and core database concepts such as transactions, locking, and replication is essential for mastering high availability strategies. Proficiency with UNIX/Linux command line and shell environments will help you configure and manage MariaDB Server effectively. Knowledge of computer networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, and network security groups (NSGs), is crucial for ensuring secure and reliable database connectivity. Hands-on experience with MariaDB Server setup, including logs, storage engines, and user security, will accelerate your learning. Familiarity with high availability architectures like master-slave and master-master replication is highly beneficial. Completing this course will enable you to optimize MariaDB performance and implement high availability solutions confidently, reducing downtime and improving data resilience for your organization."
