If you are automating your infrastructure deployments with Chef, then read on. We are glad to announce the availability of a Chef cookbook for ClusterControl. This cookbook replaces previous cookbooks we released for ClusterControl and Galera Cluster. For those using Puppet, please have a look at our Puppet module for ClusterControl.
ClusterControl Cookbook on Chef Supermarket
The ClusterControl cookbook is available on Chef Supermarket, and getting the cookbook is as easy as:
$ knife cookbook site download clustercontrol
This cookbook supports the installation of ClusterControl on top of existing database clusters:
- Galera Cluster
- MySQL Galera Cluster by Codership
- Percona XtraDB Cluster by Percona
- MariaDB Galera Cluster by MariaDB
- MySQL Cluster (NDB)
- MySQL Replication
- Standalone MySQL/MariaDB server
- MongoDB or TokuMX Clusters
- Sharded Cluster
- Replica Set
Installing ClusterControl using Cookbook
We will show you how to install ClusterControl on top of an existing database cluster using the cookbook. It requires the following criteria to be met:
- The node for ClusterControl must be a clean/dedicated host.
- ClusterControl node must run on 64-bit Linux platform, on the same OS distribution as the monitored DB nodes. Mixing Debian with Ubuntu or CentOS with Red Hat is acceptable.
- ClusterControl node must have an internet connection during the initial deployment. After the deployment, ClusterControl does not need internet access.
- Make sure your database cluster is up and running before doing this deployment.
