I am looking into Linux-HA to see if I could implement a system I need. I hope this is the right mailing list to ask if LinuxHA is the right solution for my challenge.
As a computing infrastructure I have some kind of cloud service (imagine EC2), what I want to do is the following: There are 5 different types of backend services (resources) in the system and one frontend. However I need multiple resources of the same type running at any time. So I need LinuxHA to take care of having 3 resources of the same type available at any point in time. Hopefully I can send change messages so I can increase or decrease the number of resources of the same type that need to be available at any point in time (maybe from 3 to 5 for a few days and then scale down to two) . Then I have my own frontend deamon which users all those 5 backend resource types. I want this daemon to query LinuxHA every 10 seconds (via some API) and get information about where the resources are available (list ip numbers where resources are located for each resource type) so application gets the necessary information to do the load balancing. The last thing i need is a failover for the frontend application, but I can easily imagine how to do that with LinuxHA... However I need some clues about the proper way to do what I described earlier. Thank you very much for your help bye Andraz Tori _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
