Many organizations choose OpenStack for it’s distributed architecture, and ability to deliver Infrastructure-as-a-Service platforms for mission critical applications. In such environments, that run production workloads, the cloud control plane is ought to provide maximum possible up-time, and it is crucial to build an OpenStack cloud deployment where all OpenStack services are in a highly available configuration. Deploying a highly available control plane for OpenStack can be achieved in various configurations, each would serve certain set of demands, and introduce growing set of prerequisites.

In this talk Arthur Berezin will discuss the following:

- Overview of a highly available OpenStack architecture using Pacemaker and HAProxy.

- In-depth overview of each of OpenStack’s core services, their behaviour and readiness for to run in a highly available configuration.
