Backup and failover

This task is creating the software needed to

  • backup all data and config of any service from Server A to Server B
  • fail over and bring up any backed up service on Server B

This infrastructure may be used for manual failover, by manually shutting down Server A and then manually running bringup serverA on Server B, which will bring up all services of Server A which have been backed up on Server B.

This infrastructure can also be used for automatic failover after detection of failure of Server A.

However, this task does not include any of the failure-detection components needed for auto-failover.

This is being done by Saurabh.

Status

Saurabh Hirani has completed a first-cut implementation, and has sent the code base to Jignesh. He'll visit next week to walk Jignesh through the code. So this task is now "developed", but needs to be "tested" and "integrated". It'll be needed immediately for Supreme and Jesons.

With this, Saurabh Hirani goes off-line.
