In the Linux world, a popular approach to build highly available clusters is with a set of software tools that include pacemaker (as resource manager) and corosync (as the group communication system), plus other libraries on which they depend and some configuration utilities. On Illumos (and in our particular case, OmniOS), the ihac project is abandoned and I couldn’t find any […]
If automation is required, Vagrant and Puppet seem to be the most adequate tools to implement it. What about automatic installation of High Availability database servers? As part of our Cloud Dependability efforts, the ICCLab works on automatic installation of High Availability systems. One such HA system is a MySQL Server – combined with DRBD, […]
As proposed in a former article different technologies must be evaluated in order to make the current MobileCloud environment suitable to High Availability (HA) requirements. The following article lists a basic evaluation of the different technologies that could be used. Basically there are four technologies which allow to build a reliable HA-infrastructure for OpenStack…
Open Stack’s capabilities to support High Availability are very limited. If a virtual machine crashes, there is no automatic recovery. Clustering software seems a to be a great workaround to allow redundancy and implement High Availability (HA). Pacemaker is a scalable cluster resource manager developed by Clusterlabs. Its advantages are: Support of many different deployment […]
