Hi all, I was wondering how much systemd could add to current high availability cluster setups.
Today systemd is used on HA clusters as just an init replacement. However, there are systemd features that might come in handy and improve the overall performance and even reliability of such clusters: * watchdog functionality as in <http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/watchdog.html> is the most evident feature; * tcp-based dbus communication could be used to exchange information between cluster members; Also, I believe systemd functionality could be extended so it would take into consideration other nodes' systemd instances in order to make sure each service is always alive somewhere -- call it "floating units" if you will. :-) Does this idea even make sense? Is it too "one systemd to rule them all"? -- Pablo Hess _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
