Project Overview

This project provides a fully automated environment for deploying and testing a high-availability (HA) server infrastructure using Vagrant. The setup includes the following key components:

• Corosync & Pacemaker: Used for clustering and resource management, ensuring high availability and automatic failover. Pacemaker and Corosync are specifically used to manage the HAProxy nodes and MariaDB nodes, providing fault tolerance and seamless failover for both.

• GlusterFS: A distributed file system for data redundancy and high availability, ensuring that the storage layer is resilient and can withstand node failures.

• HAProxy: A high-performance load balancer used to distribute traffic evenly across the two load-balanced web servers. The HAProxy nodes are also managed by Pacemaker & Corosync for high availability.

• Vagrant: Automates the creation and configuration of virtual machines, enabling easy and reproducible environments for testing and development.

Architecture Highlights:

• Two load-balanced web servers are deployed, ensuring high availability for the web applications.
• Pacemaker & Corosync manage the failover and clustering of HAProxy nodes and MariaDB nodes, ensuring that these critical components remain highly available and resilient to failures.

How to Run

1. Run the Build Script
   Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where build.ps1 is located. Then, execute the following command:

   ./build.ps1
   

It should take about 30 minutes for everything to be ready.
