Percona XtraDB Cluster / Galera Tutorial at Percona Live NY 2012

I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m delivering a tutorial on Percona XtraDB Cluster / Galera at Percona Live NY 2012 right in midtown-Manhattan on October 1st.

I really want this tutorial to be hands-on, not just a 3 hour lecture, so you can actually see how a cluster operates and interact with it.  So, I have come up with a set of walkthroughs for different features and areas of learning PXC using a common set of Virtual Machines setup with Vagrant and Puppet (which works on Linux, OSX, or Windows).  This sounds complicated, but it basically means we can create a test environment with a full 3-node cluster on your laptop for you to experiment on in just a few commands.
