This step-by-step guide teaches you everything you need to know in order to eliminate single points of failure for your Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP based web applications.
Do you wish you could ensure your web site was up all the time and finally enjoy a peaceful night's sleep?
Do you want to be able to scale without downtime and handle unexpected surges of traffic?
Do you want a solution that just works without spending
weeks testing various combinations of technologies and software?
Do you want someone to lay it all out for you and walk you through an entire deployment?
If so, you're in the right place...
I understand, because I've been there.
I know what it's like to be woken up in the middle of the
night when a web server goes down. I don't know about you, but I'm
fairly grumpy at 2:47 A.M. when something is broke and I'm the one that
has to fix it.
That's why I strive to eliminate
single points of failure and ensure service availability. I would much
rather plan for failure ahead of time than have to react to it. If you
have a robust design that's easy to support you can repair any failures
at your convenience instead of trying to cobble together a makeshift
solution in the middle of the night.
I've spent
countless hours designing, testing, and implementing high availability
solutions for a wide range of Linux based services during my career.
I've put together a well designed, well tested solution for the LAMP
(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack that easily scales to support an
increasing number of users all the while decreasing downtime. I've
taken each possible single point of failure into account from the
obvious ones to the less than obvious edge cases you'll need to cover in
order to have a truly robust design.
This architecture and design:
This is a full blown course that demonstrates everything step-by-step...
This is not just a design, though. It's an entire course complete with lessons and demonstrations on actual Linux servers. I'll be performing the demonstrations on Ubuntu servers, but the concepts are the same no matter if you're using RedHat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, or another distribution. The only real difference is the couple of commands you'll use to perform some of the software installations. The design and configurations remain the same.
Even
though this course is targeted directly at the LAMP stack (Linux,
Apache, MySQL, PHP), the concepts and techniques presented can be reused
in a variety of other situations. If you ever need a floating IP, the
ability to add more storage to servers without downtime, to balance
loads across multiple servers, or deploy a highly available database
cluster, you can put what you learn in this course to good use.
Imagine...
After you complete the course you'll be able to deploy highly
available web services that allow you to scale without downtime, add
storage on the fly, and survive single points of failure. If you're
like me and have to support what you deploy, you'll be able to start
sleeping through the night with your high availability design. You also
won't have to worry about painting yourself into a corner as you'll be
able to take what you've learned to grow your infrastructure and support
an increasing number of users.

If you want to get started now click the "Start Learning Now" button above. If you need to justify the expense think about all of the time and money you'll save by enrolling in this course. For example, you could try to piece together freely available information from a multitude of sources, but it will cost you a lot of your precious time. You could easily spend weeks researching all the possible solutions for each component of the LAMP stack.
You could buy a
book or take a course on each one of the topics, but just one or two of
those is more expensive than the cost of this course. Plus, you still
have the same problem of tying everything together into a single
cohesive solution. Even after you come up with a solution you'll have
to spend even more time testing it to make sure it works.
How much does it cost you (not only in dollars, but in time, and
peace of mind) when your web site or your company's web site go down?
Wouldn't you rather spend a little bit of money on a course today that
will save you tons of time, money, energy, and effort in the future?
Just skip all the hassle and let me hand you a well-thought-out tested
solution that just works.
Now you have a choice to make.
You can spend weeks… maybe even months researching different solutions and testing every possible combination…
or...
You can use my proven design that simplifies everything I've
learned about running high-traffic mission-critical web sites.
A few days weeks from now you could still be trying to piece
together information from varying sources, hoping that it will work.
or...
You could be well on your way to deploying a solution that does work.
The only thing between you and a solution is this course.
