How To Create a Multi-Node MySQL Cluster
The MySQL Cluster distributed database provides high availability and throughput for your MySQL database management system. A MySQL Cluster consists of one or more management nodes (`ndb_mgmd`) that store the cluster’s configuration and control the data nodes (`ndbd`), where cluster data is stored. In this tutorial we’ll set up two servers as data nodes, and a third server as the Cluster Manager and the MySQL client. Choose your operating system below to get started.
