На англ. языке.The technique is applied more and more in corporate datacenters around the world. While lots of documentation about the subject is available on the internet, it isn't always easy to build a real solution based on that scattered information, which is often oriented towards specific tasks only.Pro Linux High Availability Clustering explains essential high-availability clustering components on all Linux platforms, giving you the insight to build solutions for any specific case needed.

In this book four common cases will be explained:
Configuring Apache for high availability;
Creating an Open Source SAN based on DRBD, iSCSI and HA clustering;
Setting up a load-balanced web server cluster with a back-end, highly-available database;
Setting up a KVM virtualization platform with high-availability protection for a virtual machine.With the knowledge you'll gain from these real-world applications, you'll be able to efficiently apply Linux HA to your work situation with confidence.What you’ll learn:
Design Linux high availability clusters.
Set up an environment to protect mission critical applications.
Connecting servers in a redundant way to the SAN.
Create an affordable SAN based on open source software.
Set up clusters for protection of Oracle and SAP workloads.
Write your own cluster resource script.
Create an open source SAN.
Create a free hypervisor using KVM as the virtualization platform.
Set up a versatile, fault-tolerant, high-performance web shop.Who this book is for:
