High Availability [TechOps Series]

Is high availability always a good thing? Today our discussion takes an operations perspective. We look at places where you were over or under committing high availability, where you were confusing disaster recovery for high availability, and perhaps even securing the wrong service or looking at it the wrong way. We cover all of these scenarios with practical, hands-on examples that I know you will get a lot out of. This is good prep for talking about HA clusters, because the idea of coordinating and monitoring systems is core to HA and HA clusters. In our journey with RackN, a lot of customers who thought they needed very aggressive HA systems, once they are confronted with the overhead of maintaining an HA system, have to ask if you really need it. We started with an active/passive HA implementation using third party monitoring to monitor for when the system failed and spin up the second system, creating a live streaming back up to the failover system.
