Automatic Failover: Design and Reality
Google engineers have built a system that detects MySQL master failure, chooses a new master, promotes it and hooks up slaves with under a minute downtime. This is deployed in an environment where there’s zero tolerance for transaction loss of any sort. The original designer and a sysadmin who worked on the deployment will talk about design, implementation and practical lessons learned.
Ian Gulliver
Ian has worked in the computing industry for over ten years at telecom giants and Internet startups. He founded and implemented an anti-spam blackhole list using MySQL that grew to be the most-queried on the Internet. Eventually, the pull of Google brought him to California, where he now works doing administration and development around Google’s MySQL deployment.
Eric Rollins
Eric worked on MySQL engineering at Google, working with the MySQL source and tools to make MySQL scalable and highly reliable.

Very good presentation. Answers in How to do automated failover well presented. As long as you are using the google patches and are willing to stay well behind the MySQL dev curve.
