[Cluster-devel] [Linux-HA] [RFC] Organizing HA Summit 2015

[Alan Robertson <alanr@unix.sh>]

Hi Fabio,

Do you know much about the Brno DevConf?

I was wondering if the Assimilation Project might be interesting to the
audience there.
    http://assimilationsystems.com/
    http://assimproj.org/

It's related to High Availability in that we monitor systems and
services with zero configuration - we even use OCF RAs ;-).  Because of
that, we could eventually intervene in systems - restarting services, or
even migrating them.  That's not in current plans, but it is technically
very possible.

But it's so much more than that - and HUGELY scalable - 10K servers
without breathing hard, and 100K servers without proxies, etc.  It also
discovers systems, services, dependencies, switch connections, and lots
of other things.  Basically everything is done with near-zero
configuration.  We wind up with a graph database describing everything
in great detail - and it's continually up to date.

I don't know if you know me, but I founded the Linux-HA project and led
it for about 10 years.
