Hello again, you might have noticed that the proposal on the pure virtualization 304 exam left some spare objectives on High Availability. Another outcome of a lot of the discussions we've had around this was that we should keep High Availability in LPIC-3 but consider making it an own exam.
Here is how a pure High Availability exam could be similar to: https://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-305_Objectives_V3.0 The diff to 304v2 is here: https://wiki.lpi.org/pubwiki/index.php?title=LPIC-305_Objectives_V3.0&type=revision&diff=&oldid=5138 Besides some small changes, mostly in the field of Pacemaker, you'll see that we've added distributed storage to this exam. One might argue this is again a rather arbitrary combination just like the old 304 exam; however, storage is an important component of any HA stack and, in return, any highly available storage requires certain HA measures. Feel free to discuss this combination. Please note that this draft is not complete yet, it *DOES NEED YOUR FEEDBACK*. There are eight weights which are not assigned to a real objective yet. I've parked them in the potential topic 'Backup and Disaster Recovery', but I am not sure whether or not that is a good idea. My concern is that there is not the 'one', most prominent tool in that area. Just take backup as an example, what should we cover, Bacula, Bareos, Amanda, BackupPC? And once you have touched Veeam+VMware, would you still prefer the open source tools (this is no statement about my personal preferences, btw)? Where would you like these weights to be put? Remember, this will be a new exam, so we can do ANYTHING we want :) Finally, I would be interested in knowing you thoughts on the term SRE and if we should try to leverage this buzzword's momentum for the new 305 exam.
