MYSQL Chaining
This describes setting up a new chain with mysql replication. This is the basic layout. (M master, S1 slave of master, S2 slave of S1) M <- S1 <- S2 Creating a chain: On S1: stop slave; systemctl disable mysqld; show slave status\G # COPY THIS TO TEXT FILE show mater status\G # COPY THIS TO TEXT FILE service mysqld stop; Create an image of S1, this will be S2. In GCP go to the VM instance of S1, click on its disk, click create Image. ======================================== Log into your new image, S2: edit /etc/my.cnf, add a way to skip the start of a slave.
