Hello All,<br><br>I'm looking to implement an MCollective platform in my data center.� <br>I would like to use a High Availability RabbitMQ cluster as we already have RabbitMQ <br>implementations and I feel that it is a far superior product to other MQs on the market.<br>
<br>I understand that RabbitMQ doesn't work well over a WAN connection yet, however,<br>with the Federation plugin becoming part of the distribution I believe this may change <br>soon enough. Based on discussions I've read and participated in, I am a bit confused <br>
as to what is considered "WAN Clustering".� In my mind, two machines (or five) on <br>one public /29 would not be considered to be connected over the WAN, however, I was <br>directed to the Federation plugin when I brought up connecting two public IPs.<br>
Can someone please define "WAN Clustering", is it two machines connected on separate<br>networks, in separate data centers?<br><br>My second question is about HA Clusters and MCollective specifically.<br><br>I drew this picture to illustrate my problem. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/Ms0mv.png" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/Ms0mv.png</a><br>
<br>Basically, as I understand it, because MCollective is pointed to an IP, if that machine is down,<br>there is no failover...� Maybe I'm just going about it wrong.<br><br>A co-worker (literally moments ago) pointed out RabbitMQ now has a HA plugin that lays<br>
on top of a Rabbit Cluster.� I'll investigate this further.� <br><br>The wisdom of the MCollective group is to use ActiveMQ.� This is not an acceptable solution.<br><br>In the mean time, I am way off here?� Does anyone have a suggestion to solve the HA problem<br>
with MCollective?<br><br><br>Thanks,<br>Jon
