 +    - tom mentioned that there are db2 databases and clients that implement high availability in a similar way but the clients are actually '​smart'​ and can actually choose another db server when connection issues occur.

-    - +    - worth noting, galera does not seem to offer a security mechanisim to prevent new galera nodes from joining the cluster (other than a configuration option for setting a unique cluster name) 
 +    - tom wanted to know is galera is a name for a monster, we found that galera means "​crowd"​ in portuguese 
 +    - the presentation switched gears and travis started talking about pacemaker/​corosync 
 +    - corosync supports either multicast or unicast in a configuration called a ring 
 +    - it supports resource agents and fencing agents 
 +    - fencing agents are available via prepackaged scripts (to hardware kill a misbehaving node) 
 +    - however no one knows why anyone would actually use a fencing agent since all of the clusters we've been involved in do not actually use fencing agents... 
 +    - the presentation finished at 8:26 (on time) and the cluster was fully functional!
