CloudLinux MySQL Governor and MariaDB: Performance, Installation and Optimization
Introduction
CloudLinux is a technology that is developed for the server security, stability, and performance to be enhanced in shared hosting environments. It is ideal for hosting operators and website owners who usually encounter high traffic and their craving for the optimization of resource utilization. The goal of CloudLinux MySQL Governor is to monitor and restrict MySQL database servers on the server so that resources can be allocated fairly. This paper will discuss the aspect of compatibility between CloudLinux MySQL Governor and MariaDB, ways of installation, optimization techniques, and impact on performance.
1. What Is CloudLinux MySQL Governor?
CloudLinux MySQL Governor, as its name suggests, is an application for performance improvement and management on the MySQL/MariaDB database server; limits available to each individual user for its resources contribute to the better use of resources by the system to prevent resource over-utilization. The gains that MySQL Governor brings are more significant in shared hosting environments when many users and DB operations are involved.
Some Key Features:
Resource Limiting: Limits all resources such as CPU, memory, and disk I/O per database user.
Monitoring and Reporting: Monitors all MySQL operations taking place on the server, creating reports on resource utilization.
Database Load Balancing: Optimizing the server resource for the benefits of all users equally.
Quick Troubleshooting: In short order, High Resource Consumer Queries have been detected by MySQL Governor, allowing for prompt intervention.
2. CloudLinux MySQL Governor with the MariaDB Compatibility
MariaDB is a fork of MySQL, and as such, it is largely compatible with MySQL and is one of several options preferred by many hosting providers. CloudLinux MySQL Governor is specifically designed to work both with MySQL and MariaDB.
The compatibility of MariaDB with the CloudLinux MySQL Governor makes possible the management of both database systems under the CloudLinux environment without hitch. However, both database systems have to be configured properly and source quotas enforced on them very effectively.
The Advantages the use of MariaDB
High Efficiency: This is a faster and more efficient version of MySQL.
Open Source: Provides the same open-source coded structure as MySQL but offers additional features and improvements.
Compatibility: MariaDB is totally compatible with the features of MySQL, thereby permitting easy use along with CloudLinux MySQL Governor.
3. Installation of CloudLinux MySQL Governor
CloudLinux MySQL Governor function in servers with the installed CloudLinux OS. The installation steps might vary with the latest updates of CloudLinux and the configuration of your server. The following describes the general installation process:
