Codership Training Courses¶
Using video communication conferencing systems such Zoom, Codership is able to offer live virtual classes. From your office, home, or virtually anywhere, you may attend courses conducted by the Codership staff. Each month we will offer courses on Galera Cluster and related software.
Database Administration with Galera Cluster
The Database Administrator with Galera Cluster training teaches you how to install and configure in real-time a Galera Cluster for your application use cases. You will participate in interactive hands-on labs. Our expert instructors will teach you how to design and maintain your Galera Cluster for High Availability and scalability.
This course not only covers Galera Cluster from Codership (upstream Galera Cluster) but also Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) and MariaDB Galera Cluster administration. The course contents will cover the newly released Galera 4 library, but also the commonly used Galera 3 library. You can start off never having used Galera Cluster to finish the training as an advanced and effective Galera Cluster user and administrator.
