We’re winding down here at the Percona Live Europe Open Source Database Conference 2016, but there are still talks going on.
The conference has a technical focus with an emphasis on the core topics of MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and other open source databases. Tackling subjects such as analytics, architecture and design, security, operations, scalability and performance, Percona Live provides in-depth discussions for your high-availability, IoT, cloud, big data and other changing business needs.
In the area of cloud and cloud-based databases, we have Pravin Pillai, Google’s Big Data Go-to-Market Strategy guru. His talk covered Google Cloud SQL: MySQL in the Cloud. In this session, he provided an overview of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), followed by a deep dive on Google Cloud SQL. Google Cloud SQL is a fully managed database service for MySQL.
Pravin went over the benefits offered by the service, provided a demonstration of how to use the service, and discussed best practices to help leverage Cloud SQL to reduce the administrative burden of running MySQL databases. In this talk, he covered:
- Google Cloud SQL key features
- Google Cloud SQL set up and use
- Best practices for Google Cloud SQL
