Well yes, that's a given. Thankfully you have a set of tools at hand
that make this very easy.

And then what? So it talks to multiple MySQLs, and you'll have to take
care of database consistency by yourself. Or it talks to multiple
RabbitMQs, and you'll need a way to synchronize your queues.

Question is, as Darren has also said in this thread, whether you
really want HA, or scaleout. Or both. But interestingly, Pacemaker can
serve you just fine for all of that.

Let me repeat, though, I am clearly biased -- see URL in my sig block
for details.

Cheers,
Florian
