Linux High Availability and Clustering

In today's fast-paced digital world, system downtime can be catastrophic for businesses and organizations. This comprehensive guide to Linux High Availability and Clustering equips system administrators, IT professionals, and engineers with the knowledge and skills to design, implement, and maintain highly available Linux systems that minimize downtime and ensure continuous service availability.
Key Features:
- In-depth coverage of high availability concepts and clustering techniques
- Step-by-step guidance on configuring Pacemaker, Corosync, DRBD, and HAProxy
- Practical examples and hands-on exercises for real-world scenarios
- Advanced topics including database clustering, virtualization HA, and disaster recovery planning
This book is the fourth volume in our series dedicated to mastering advanced Linux system administration concepts. It provides a thorough exploration of high availability (HA) and clustering techniques that allow you to create resilient Linux environments capable of withstanding hardware failures, network outages, and other unexpected disruptions.
What You'll Learn:
1. High Availability Fundamentals: Understand key concepts such as redundancy, failover, load balancing, and clustering.
2. Pacemaker and Corosync: Configure cluster nodes, manage resources, and ensure automatic failover.
3. Fencing and Failover: Implement fencing techniques to maintain consistency and set up automatic failover for critical services.
4. Shared Storage Solutions: Utilize NFS, iSCSI, and DRBD to create shared storage environments for highly available systems.
5. Load Balancing: Configure HAProxy to distribute workloads and optimize traffic handling for web servers and applications.
6. Database Clustering: Build highly available database clusters using MariaDB Galera Cluster and PostgreSQL with Patroni.
7. Virtualization and Container HA: Ensure high availability for virtual machines and containerized applications using KVM, Proxmox, and Kubernetes.
8. Disaster Recovery Planning: Develop backup and recovery strategies to handle failures and protect against data loss.
Who This Book is For:
This book is ideal for system administrators, IT professionals, and engineers responsible for ensuring the high availability of Linux-based systems and services. It's perfect for those who already have a basic understanding of Linux system administration and want to extend their knowledge into high availability and clustering.
Whether you're managing web servers, databases, or cloud-based infrastructures, this book will teach you how to:
- Prevent single points of failure
- Enable automatic failover
- Implement load balancing
- Improve disaster recovery
- Design and manage systems that are both resilient and scalable
Each chapter introduces key concepts, provides hands-on examples, and offers practical exercises to help you apply what you've learned. From configuring basic redundancy and failover mechanisms to building complex clusters for databases and web servers, this book walks you through the complete process of implementing high availability in a variety of use cases.
By the end of this book, you'll have the confidence and expertise to:
- Design and implement highly available Linux systems
Whether you're running Linux servers in a data center, cloud environment, or hybrid setup, this book will provide you with the tools and knowledge to create resilient and scalable systems that can handle failures and ensure continuous availability.
