MySQL Fabric RC - Adding High Availability and/or Scaling to MySQL

MySQL Fabric provides a simple way to manage a collection of MySQL Servers and ensure that transactions and queries are routed to the correct server. We're pleased to announce that the Release Candidate load is now available! This article explains what MySQL Fabric is and how to set it up. It also gives an example of how it can be used to introduce High Availability (including automated failure detection and transparent failover) and/or scale-out (using data partitioning/sharding).
