Data Resilience Metrics Understanding RPO and RTO Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 7

Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 8

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) Purpose: Determines maximum acceptable data loss during disruptions. Calculation: Time from disruptive event to last data backup. Example: RPO of 1 hour means tolerating data loss up to 1 hour. Focus: Data loss risk and impact on customer transactions. Data Resilience Metrics Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 9

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) Purpose: Determines maximum acceptable data loss during disruptions. Calculation: Time from disruptive event to last data backup. Example: RPO of 1 hour means tolerating data loss up to 1 hour. Focus: Data loss risk and impact on customer transactions. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) Purpose: De nes maximum allowable downtime after incidents. Calculation: Measures time to restore application functionality. Example: RTO of 4 hours aims for restoration within 4 hours. Focus: Application and system restoration. Data Resilience Metrics Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 9

Introduction to AdminAPI MySQL Shell Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 12

MySQL Shell and AdminAPI MySQL Shell: a robust command-line interface supporting SQL, JavaScript and Python modes. enables scripting, querying, and database management allows modern development with X Protocol AdminAPI a powerful API for deploying and managing MySQL InnoDB ReplicaSets, Clusters and ClusterSets simpli es setup, con guration, and maintenance of high-availability and distributed systems.

Key Concepts in MySQL Deployments InnoDB ReplicaSet, Cluster, ClusterSet Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 17

InnoDB ReplicaSet A simpler alternative for asynchronous replication. Easier to manage with AdminAPI. Data provisioning included (clone) 2 or more nodes Manual Failover RPO: 1 second(*) RTO: minutes Key Concepts in MySQL Deployments Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 18

InnoDB ReplicaSet A simpler alternative for asynchronous replication. Easier to manage with AdminAPI. Data provisioning included (clone) 2 or more nodes Manual Failover RPO: 1 second(*) RTO: minutes InnoDB Cluster A self-healing, highly available cluster solution. Built on Group Replication technology. Automatically manages failover and redundancy (min 3 nodes). Con gurable Consistency Levels RPO: 0 RTO: seconds Key Concepts in MySQL Deployments Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 18

What is InnoDB ClusterSet? A disaster recovery (DR) solution that links multiple InnoDB Clusters Provides redundancy across geographically distributed data centers. Ensures data availability during catastrophic failures of the primary cluster. Key Features: Multi-region Failover: Seamless failover between clusters. Group Replication inside each local clusters. Asynchronous Replication: Between primary and secondary clusters. Global Data Distribution: Ideal for distributed applications.

MySQL InnoDB Cluster: consistency levels MySQL InnoDB Cluster operates, by default, in single-primary mode: Apps and users write to the primary instance What guarantees do we have that: We always read the most up-to-date data?

Group Replication, Asynchronous - Best Practices Use a low latency network within a Group (MySQL InnoDB Cluster) Tune, probably increase, the value of group_replication_member_expel_timeout, default to 5 Use group_replication_poll_spin_loops to ne-tune polling loops for responsiveness on high-performance networks. Tune compression with group_replication_compression_threshold to reduce network overhead if you have signi cant write activity. Increase the GCS consensus messages window select group_replication_set_write_concurrency(100); Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 74

Group Replication, Asynchronous - Best Practices (2) Use a Single Leader Paxos group_replication_paxos_single_leader Optimize binary logs: binlog_row_image = MINIMAL binlog_row_value_options = PARTIAL_JSON binlog_transaction_compression = ON Relax on durability when possible: sync_binlog = 0 innodb_ ush_log_at_trx_commit = 2 Copyright @ 2025 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 75
