Opscode's Chef, MySQL Galera and Severalnines's ClusterControl

In the next following sections I'll be using Chef to deploy a MySQL Galera cluster on EC2 and then monitor and manage it using Severalnines's ClusterControl.

In the end we should have 5 nodes deployed:

* 1 Node with Chef Server and serving also as a Chef workstation using Chef v0.10.8
* 3 Nodes running MySQL Galera v5.5.23.6
* 1 Node running ClusterControl v1.1.28

The distribution used for the EC2 nodes in this post is Ubuntu Server 11.10 and the Chef version used is 0.10.8.
