Chapter 7. Conclusion

Whether building fault tolerant hardware environments, utilizing software failover capabilities, or realizing the benefits of virtualized environments, high availability implementations allow IT organizations to avoid unnecessary downtime and expense for critical applications.

This reference architecture focused on implementing a highly available configuration for Red Hat CloudForms by configuring the CloudForms database for a replicated setup with one primary and one hot standby server.

The following use case is successfully demonstrated:

  • Configuring a highly available Red Hat CloudForms implementation within a single datacenter, using Red Hat cluster services, to provide a highly available goblal and regional database.

By following the steps documented in this reference architecture, IT professionals can implement a highly available cloud management platform using Red Hat CloudForms.
