Many of the capabilities of MySQL Cluster Manager are already available or can be scripted, so what is the benefit?
MySQL Cluster Manager integrates and extends existing management functionality by automating tasks that were previously performed manually by an administrator. As demonstrated in the example above, a process that required 46 manual commands is now reduced to a single command, with each process step being fully automated. In terms of scripting or even developing a custom management system, it is time consuming, costly and potentially error-prone to manually develop, test and maintain such projects. For many maintenance activities, the need for this type of activity is eliminated with MySQL Cluster Manager. Through automation, MySQL Cluster Manager simplifies cluster management, while reducing cost, risk and effort.
