Linux Virtual Server Clustering
It seems like feast or famine time as this is the second blog post today but I found something else I don''t want to lose track of. Clustering is now part of any enterprise web application solution. We have worked on clusters of all different types, colors, flavors etc. As a matter of historical note the one that sticks in my mind above others was at the 2000 DevCon in Washington DC when I assisted Frank DeRienzo in torturing 30 or so attendees in his session on setting up clusters of CF Servers using ClusterCats. Talk about boot camp!
To the point of the blog posting, there is an interesting initiative from the Linux Community to use Linux as a platform for enterprise clustering, information etc can be found here. I also notice that someone has created a port of this to FreeBSD.
I think the name they chose for this is quite intriguing, the Linux Virtual Server Project. Our typical thoughts of a virtual server is that of a server(s) within a physical server with its own O/S etc. The meaning here is of several servers which to the end user appear as a single point. Typical clustering of course but i just think the name they chose is interesting.
