Description

The Booth cluster ticket manager is a component to bridge high availability
clusters spanning multiple sites, in particular, to provide decision inputs to
local Pacemaker cluster resource managers. It operates as a distributed
consensus-based service, presumably on a separate physical network. Tickets
facilitated by a Booth formation are the units of authorization that can be
bound to certain resources. This will ensure that the resources are run at only
one (granted) site at a time.
