Wackamole is an application that helps with making a cluster highly
|
||
|
|
available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It manages a bunch of virtual IPs, that should be available
|
||
|
|
to the outside world at all times. Wackamole ensures that a single
|
||
|
|
machine within a cluster is listening on each virtual IP address
|
||
|
|
that Wackamole manages. If it discovers that particular machines
|
||
|
|
within the cluster are not alive, it will almost immediately ensure
|
||
|
|
that other machines acquire these public IPs.
|
||
|
|
At no time will more than one machine listen on any virtual IP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wackamole also works toward achieving a balanced distribution of
|
||
|
|
number IPs on the machine within the cluster it manages.
