PoolParty plugin to install and configure mysql on any instance designated as a database instance.
Written by Ron Evans (http://deadprogrammersociety.com)
Features of the current plugin:
- Installs current Mysql
- Does live database backup to S3 once every hour
- If the instance goes down, will automatically bring up another one, and restore latest backup
Limitations of the current plugin:
- Allows for one and only one database instance.
- The size of the database cannot exceed the amount of disk storage available to that instance size
- Backups are going against the same production database, so performance may be impacted
