George, You might take a look at https://github.com/joyent/sdc, which adds many of the tools needed to manage collections of machines for HA and other purposes.
SmartDataCenter doesn’t itself offer HA as a service, but https://github.com/joyent/manatee demonstrates an SDC-based HA pattern using ZooKeeper and ZFS send/receives that’s worth looking at as well. See https://github.com/joyent/manatee/tree/master/docs for the docs. You didn’t mention Docker, but I’d be remiss not to point out this blog post on installing experimental Docker support: https://www.joyent.com/blog/test-drive-joyents-elastic-container-infrastructure-for-docker Some Docker scheduler and composer tools can be used to automate HA as well. —Casey > On Feb 27, 2015, at 4:56 PM, George Linn via smartos-discuss > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I am new to SmartOS and have found it very easy to get zones and KVM's > deployed.
