-Overview of High Available Deployment of OPNFV
-*********************************************************************
-
-In this section, we would like to discuss the overall HA deployment of NFV system.
-Different modules, such as hardware,VIM,VMs and etc, will be included, and HA
-deployment of each single module will be discussed. However, not all of these HA
-schemes should be deployed in on system at the same time. For the HA deployment of
-a single system, we should consider the tradeoff between high availability and the
-cost and resource to leverage.
-
-
-Architecture of HA deployment
-==================================================================
-
-This section intends to introduce the different modules we should consider
-when talking about HA deployment. These moduels include the Hardware
-(compute, network, storage hardware), the VIM, the hypervisor, VMs and VNFs.
-HA schemes for these different moduels should all be considered when deploying
-an NFV system. And the schemes should be coordinated so that the system can make
-sure to react in its best way when facing failure.
-
-The following picture shows the the architecture of HA deployment based on the
-framework from ETSI NFV ISG.

-
-HA deployment topology
-==================================================================
-
-This section will introduce the HA deployment topology for an NFV system.
-The topology explained in this section is to support the software
-cluster of OPNFV platform, which we will discuss in detail in section1.3.
-
-The typical topology of deployment OPNFV platform should include at
-least the controller nodes, and the compute nodes. Depend on the request of
-the users, standalone network nodes or storage nodes can be added into this
-topology. The simplest HA deployment of OPNFV only include the control nodes. Further
-HA schemes can be provided to the compute nodes, the network nodes and the storage
-nodes, according to the requirement of services deployed on the NFV system.
-Figure 2 shows the deployment topology, in which the controller nodes are all in
-a cluster, and the compute nodes can be in another cluster.
-
-The control node cluster here is to provide HA for the controller services, so
-that the services on the control node can successfully failover when failure
-happens and the service can continue. The cluster service should also provide
-automatic recovery for the control nodes. For OPNFV, the control node cluster
-should include at least 3 nodes, and should be an odd number if the cluster
-management system use quorum. This may change if we use different cluster
-management schemes though.
-
-The compute node clusters is responsible for providing HA for the services running
-on the compute nodes. These services may include agents for openstack, host os,
-hypervisors. Such cluster is responsible for the recovery and repair
-of the services. However, compute node cluster will certainly bring complexity to
-the whole system, and would increase the cost. There could be multiple solutions
-for the compute cluster, e.g., senlin from openstack.
-
-There could be other HA solutions for the compute nodes except for cluster. Combination
-of congress and doctor can be one of them, in which doctor provides quickly notification
-of failure to the VIM, and congress provides proper recovery procedure. In such scheme,
-the compute nodes are not recovered by the cluster scheme, but recovered under the
-supervision of VIM.

-    Fig 2. HA Deployment Topology of Control Nodes and Compute Nodes
-
-When the cloud is supporting heavy network traffic, which is often the case for the data
-plane services in the Telecom scenarios, it is necessary to deploy standalone network
-nodes for openstack, so that the large amont of traffic switching and routing will not
-bring extra load to the controller nodes. In figure 3, we add network nodes into the
-topology and shows how to deploy it in a high available way. In this figure, the
-network nodes are deployed in a cluster. The cluster will provide HA for the services
-runing on the network nodes. Such cluster scheme could be the same with that of the
-compute nodes.
-
-On thing to be notify is that all hosts in the NFV system should have at least two NICs
-that are bonded via LACP.

-discuss the detail of the storage HA deployment in section 1.3.3
-
-Software HA Framework
-==================================================================
-
-In this section, we introduce more details about the HA schemes for a complete NFV system.
-
-Openstack Controller services (Openstack services)
---------------------------------------------------------
-
-For the High Availability of OpenStack Controller nodes, Pacemaker and Corosync are
-often used. The following texts are refering from the HA guideline of OpenStack, which
-gives an example of solution of HA deployment.(http://docs.openstack.org/ha-guide/)
-
-At its core, a cluster is a distributed finite state machine capable of co-ordinating the startup and recovery
-of inter-related services across a set of machines. For OpenStack Controller nodes, a cluster management system,
-such as Pacemaker, is recommended to use to provide the following metrics.
-
-1, Awareness of other applications in the stack
-
-2, Awareness of instances on other machines
-
-3, A shared implementation and calculation of quorum.
-
-4, Data integrity through fencing (a non-responsive process does not imply it is not doing anything)
-
-5, Automated recovery of failed instances
-
-Figure 4 shows the details of HA schemes for Openstack controller nodes with Pacemaker.
-
-.. figure:: HA_control.png
-    :alt: HA Deployment of Openstack Control Nodes based on Pacemaker
-    :figclass: align-center
-
-    Fig 4. HA Deployment of Openstack Control Nodes based on Pacemaker
-
-High availability of all stateless services are provided by pacemaker and HAProxy.
-
-Pacemaker cluster stack is the state-of-the-art high availability and load
-balancing stack for the Linux platform. Pacemaker is useful to make OpenStack
-infrastructure highly available. Also, it is storage and application-agnostic,
-and in no way specific to OpenStack.
-
-Pacemaker relies on the Corosync messaging layer for reliable cluster
-communications. Corosync implements the Totem single-ring ordering and
-membership protocol. It also provides UDP and InfiniBand based messaging,
-quorum, and cluster membership to Pacemaker.
-
-Pacemaker does not inherently (need or want to) understand the applications
-it manages. Instead, it relies on resource agents (RAs), scripts that
-encapsulate the knowledge of how to start, stop, and check the health
-of each application managed by the cluster.These agents must conform
-to one of the OCF, SysV Init, Upstart, or Systemd standards.Pacemaker
-ships with a large set of OCF agents (such as those managing MySQL
-databases, virtual IP addresses, and RabbitMQ), but can also use any
-agents already installed on your system and can be extended with your
-own (see the developer guide).
-
-After deployment of Pacemaker, HAProxy is used to provide VIP for all the
-OpenStack services and act as load balancer. HAProxy provides a fast and
-reliable HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer for TCP or HTTP applications.
-It is particularly suited for web crawling under very high loads while
-needing persistence or Layer 7 processing. It realistically supports tens
-of thousands of connections with recent hardware.
-
-Each instance of HAProxy configures its front end to accept connections
-only from the virtual IP (VIP) address and to terminate them as a list
-of all instances of the corresponding service under load balancing, such
-as any OpenStack API service. This makes the instances of HAProxy act
-independently and fail over transparently together with the network endpoints
-(VIP addresses) failover and, therefore, shares the same SLA.
-
-We can alternatively use a commercial load balancer, which is a hardware or
-software. A hardware load balancer generally has good performance.
-
-Galera Cluster, or other database cluster service, should also be deployed
-to provide data replication and  synchronization between data base. Galera
-Cluster is a synchronous multi-master database cluster, based on MySQL and
-the InnoDB storage engine. It is a high-availability service that provides
-high system uptime, no data loss, and scalability for growth. The selection
-of DB also will have potential influence on the behaviour on the application
-code. For instance using Galera Clusterl may give you higher concurrent write
-perfomance but may require a more complex conflict resolution.
-
-We can also achieve high availability for the OpenStack database in many different
-ways, depending on the type of database that we are using. There are three
-implementations of Galera Cluster available:
-
-1, Galera Cluster for MySQL The MySQL reference implementation from Codership;
-
-2, MariaDB Galera Cluster The MariaDB implementation of Galera Cluster, which is
-commonly supported in environments based on Red Hat distributions;
-
-3, Percona XtraDB Cluster The XtraDB implementation of Galera Cluster from Percona.
-
-In addition to Galera Cluster, we can also achieve high availability through other
-database options, such as PostgreSQL, which has its own replication system.
-
-To make the RabbitMQ high available, Rabbit HA queue should be configued, and all
-openstack services should be configurd to use the Rabbit HA queue.
-
-In the meantime, specific schemes should also be provided to avoid single point of
-failure of Pacemaker. And services failed should be automaticly repaired.
-
-Note that the scheme we described above is just one possible scheme for the HA
-deployment of the controller nodes. Other schemes can also be used to provide cluster
-management and monitoring.
-
-SDN controller services
----------------------------------------
-
-SDN controller software is data intensive application. All static and dynamic data has
-one or more duplicates distributed to other physical nodes in cluster. Built-in HA schema
-always be concordant with data distribution and built-in mechanism will select or
-re-select master nodes in cluster. In deployment stage software of SDN controller
-should be deployed to at least two or more physical nodes regardless whether the
-software is deployed inside VM or containner. Dual management network plane should
-be provided for SDN controller cluster to support built-in HA schema.
-
-Storage
-----------------------------------------
-Depending on what storage scheme deployed, different HA schemes should be used. The following
-text are refering from the Mirantis OpenStack reference architecture, which provides suggestions
-on the HA deployment of different storage schemes.
-
-1, Ceph
-
-Ceph implements its own HA. When deploying it, enough controller nodes running the Ceph Monitor
-service to form a quarum, and enough Ceph OSD nodes to satisfy the object replication factor are
-needed.
-
-2, Swift
-
-Swift API relies on the same HAProxy setup with VIP on controller nodes as the other REST
-APIs. For small scale deployment, swift storage and Proxy services can be deployed on the
-controller nodes. However, for a larger production environment, dedicated storage nodes, in
-which two for swift proxy and at least three for swift storage, are needed.
-
-
-
-Host OS and Hypervisor
----------------------------------------
-
-The Host OS and Hypervisor should be supervised and monitored for failure, and should be
-repaired when failure happens. Such supervision can based on a cluster scheme, or can
-just simply use controller to constantly monitor the computer host. Figure 6 shows a
-simplified framework for hypervisor cluster.
-
-When host/hypervisor failure happens, VMs on that host should be evacuated. However,
-such scheme should coordinate with the VM HA scheme, so that when both the host and the
-VM detect the failure, they should know who should take responsibility for the evacuation.
-
-
-.. figure:: HA_Hypervisor.png
-    :alt: HA Deployment of Host OS and Hypervisor
-    :figclass: align-center
-
-    Fig 5. HA Deployment of Host OS and Hypervisor
-
-Virtual Machine (VM)
----------------------------------------
-
-VM should be supervised and monitored for failure, and should be repaired when failure
-happens. We can rely on the hypervisor to monitor the VM failure. Another scheme can be
-used is a cluster for the VM, in which failure of VMs in one cluster can be supervised
-and will be repaired by the cluster manager. Pacemaker and other cluster management
-schemes can be considered for the VM cluster.
-
-In case when VNFs do not have HA schemes, extra HA scheme for VM should be taken into
-consideration. Such approach is kind of best effort for the NFV platform to provide HA
-for the VNF service, and may lead to failure copy between VMs when VNF fails. Since the
-NFVI can hardly know of the service runing in the VNF, it is imporssible for the NFVI
-level to provide overall HA solution for the VNF services. Therefore, even though we
-mention this scheme here, we strongly suggest the VNF should have its own HA schemes.
-
-Figure 6 gives an example for the VM active/standby deployment. In this case, both the
-active VM and the standby VM are deployed with the same VNF image. When failure happens
-to the active VM, the standby VM should take the traffic and replace the active VM. Such
-scheme is the best effort of the NFVI when VNFs do not have HA schemes and would only
-rely on VMs to provide redundancy. However, for stateful VNFs, there should be data copy
-between the active VM and standby VM. In this case, fault for the active VM can also be
-copied to the standby VM, leading to failure of the new active VM.
-
-.. figure:: HA_VM.png
-    :alt: VM Active/Standby Deployment
-    :figclass: align-center
-
-    Fig 6. VM Active/Standby Deployment
-
-Virtual Network Functions (VNF)
----------------------------------------
-
-For telecom services, it is suggested that VNFs should have its own built-in HA schemes
-or HA schemes implemented in VNF Managerhave to provide high available services to
-the customers. HA schemes for the VNFs can based on cluster. In this case, OpenSAF,
-pacemaker and other cluster management services can be used.
-
-HA schemes for the VNFs should be coordinate with the lower layer. For example, it
-should be clear which level will take responsibility for VM restart. A suggested
-schemes could be, the VNF layer should be responsible for the redundancy and failover
-of the VNFs when failure happens. Such failover should take place in quite a short
-time (less then seconds). The repairing procedure will then take place from upper
-layer to lower layer, that is, the VNF layer will first check if the failure is at
-its layer, and should try to repair itself. If it fails to repaire the failure,
-the failure should escalate to lower layers and let the NFVI layer to do the repair
-work. There could also be cases that the NFVI layer has detected the failure and will
-repair it before the escalation. These functions should be complished by the coordination
-of all different component, including the VNFM, VIM, VNFs and NFVI.
-
-In the meantime, the VNFs can take advantage of API the hypervisor can provide to
-them to enhance HA. Such API may include constant health check from the hypervisor,
-affinity/inaffinity deployment support. example about watchdog
-
-Figure 7 gives an example for the VNF HA scheme.

-HA deployment guideline for Arno
-==============================================
-
-Deployment Framework
------------------------------------------------
-
-Figure 8 shows an overall architecture for the HA deployment of ARNO.

-
-    Fig 8. HA Deployment of OPNFV ARNO release
-
-For OPNFV Arno release, HA deployment of Openstack Control Node (Openstack Juno) and ODL
-controller (ODL Helium) is supported. Both deployment tools (fuel and forman)support
-such HA deployment.
-
-For such HA deployment, the following components�� failure is protected
-
-Software:
-* Nova scheduler
-* Nova conductor
-* Cinder scheduler
-* Neutron server
-* Heat engine
-
-Controller hardware:
-* dead server
-* dead switch
-* dead port
-* dead disk
-* full disk
-
-
-HA test result for ARNO
--------------------------------------------------
-
-Two specific High Availability testcases are done on the ARNO release. These test cases
-are collaboratively developed by the High Availability project and the Yardstick project.
-
-Both cases are excuted in the China Mobile's Lab, where ARNO SR1 release is deployed with
-Fuel.
-
-The two testcases respectively test the following two aspects:
-
-1, Controll Node Service HA
-
-In this test, HA of "nova-api" is tested. According to the result, the service can
-successfully failover to the other controller nodes  within 2.36s, once failure happens
-at the active node. However, the service can't repair itself automatically. more
-explaination about the repair, other services are not tested yet.
-
-2, Control Node Hardware HA
-
-In this test, HA of the controller node hardware is tested. One of the hardware is
-abnormally shutdown, and the service of "nova-api" is monitored. According to the test
-results, the service can failover to the other controller node within 10.71 secondes.
-However, the failed hardware can't automatically repair itself.
-
-See more details about these test cases in the Yardstick doc of "Test Results for
-yardstick-opnfv-ha"(https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/7543/).
-
-From these basic test cases we can see that OPNFV ARNO has integrated with some HA
-schemes in its controller nodes. However, its capability of self repair should be
-enhanced.
-
-HA deployment guideline for Brahmaputra
-==============================================
-In the Brahmaputra release, 4 installers are provided. We will discuss about the HA
-deployment of each installer.
-
-Apex
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-For the installer of Apex, all of the OpenStack services are in HA on all 3 controllers.
-The services are monitored by pacemaker and load balanced by HA Proxy with VIPs.  The
-SDN controllers usually only run as a single instance on the first controller with no
-HA scheme.
-
-Database is clustered with galera in an active passive failover via pacemaker and the
-message bus is rabbitHA and the services are managed by pacemaker.
-
-Storage is using ceph, clustered across the control nodes.
-
-In the future, more work is on the way to provide HA for the SDN controller. The Apex
-team has already finished a demo that runs ODL on each controller, load balanced to
-neutron via a VIP + HA Proxy, but is not using pacemaker. Meanwhile, they are also
-working to include ceph storage HA for compute nodes as well.
-
-Compass
----------------------------------------------------------
-TBD
-
-Fuel
--------------------------------------------------------------
-
-At moment Fuel installer support the following HA schemes.
-
-1)Openstackcontrollers: N-way redundant (1,3,5, etc)
-2)OpenDaylight:No redundancy
-3)Cephstorage OSD: N-way redundant (1,3,5, etc)
-4)Networkingattachment redundancy: LAG
-5)NTPredundancy: N-way relays, up to 3 upstream sources
-6)DNSredundancy: N-way relays, up to 3 upstream sources
-7)DHCP:1+1
-
-JOID
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-JOID provides HA based on openstack services. Individual service charms have been
-deployed in a container within a host, and each charms are distributed in a way each
-service which meant for HA will go into container on individual nodes. For example
-keystone service, there are three containers on each control node and VIP has been
-assigned to use by the front end API to use keystone. So in case any of the container
-fails VIP will keep responding to via the other two services. As HA can be maintainer
-with odd units at least one service container is required to response.

-as any OpenStack API service. This makes the instances of HAProxy act
-independently and fail over transparently together with the network endpoints
-(VIP addresses) failover and, therefore, shares the same SLA.
-
-We can alternatively use a commercial load balancer, which is a hardware or
-software. A hardware load balancer generally has good performance.
-
-Galera Cluster, or other database cluster service, should also be deployed
-to provide data replication and  synchronization between data base. Galera
-Cluster is a synchronous multi-master database cluster, based on MySQL and
-the InnoDB storage engine. It is a high-availability service that provides
-high system uptime, no data loss, and scalability for growth. The selection
-of DB also will have potential influence on the behaviour on the application
-code. For instance using Galera Clusterl may give you higher concurrent write
-perfomance but may require a more complex conflict resolution.
-
-We can also achieve high availability for the OpenStack database in many different
-ways, depending on the type of database that we are using. There are three
-implementations of Galera Cluster available:
-
-1, Galera Cluster for MySQL The MySQL reference implementation from Codership;
-
-2, MariaDB Galera Cluster The MariaDB implementation of Galera Cluster, which is
-commonly supported in environments based on Red Hat distributions;
-
-3, Percona XtraDB Cluster The XtraDB implementation of Galera Cluster from Percona.
-
-In addition to Galera Cluster, we can also achieve high availability through other
-database options, such as PostgreSQL, which has its own replication system.
-
-To make the RabbitMQ high available, Rabbit HA queue should be configued, and all
-openstack services should be configurd to use the Rabbit HA queue.
-
-In the meantime, specific schemes should also be provided to avoid single point of
-failure of Pacemaker. And services failed should be automaticly repaired.
-
-Note that the scheme we described above is just one possible scheme for the HA
-deployment of the controller nodes. Other schemes can also be used to provide cluster
-management and monitoring.
-
-SDN controller services
----------------------------------------
-
-SDN controller software is data intensive application. All static and dynamic data has
-one or more duplicates distributed to other physical nodes in cluster. Built-in HA schema
-always be concordant with data distribution and built-in mechanism will select or
-re-select master nodes in cluster. In deployment stage software of SDN controller
-should be deployed to at least two or more physical nodes regardless whether the
-software is deployed inside VM or containner. Dual management network plane should
-be provided for SDN controller cluster to support built-in HA schema.
-
-Storage
-----------------------------------------
-Depending on what storage scheme deployed, different HA schemes should be used. The following
-text are refering from the Mirantis OpenStack reference architecture, which provides suggestions
-on the HA deployment of different storage schemes.
-
-1, Ceph
-
-Ceph implements its own HA. When deploying it, enough controller nodes running the Ceph Monitor
-service to form a quarum, and enough Ceph OSD nodes to satisfy the object replication factor are
-needed.
-
-2, Swift
-
-Swift API relies on the same HAProxy setup with VIP on controller nodes as the other REST
-APIs. For small scale deployment, swift storage and Proxy services can be deployed on the
-controller nodes. However, for a larger production environment, dedicated storage nodes, in
-which two for swift proxy and at least three for swift storage, are needed.
-
-
-
-Host OS and Hypervisor
----------------------------------------
-
-The Host OS and Hypervisor should be supervised and monitored for failure, and should be
-repaired when failure happens. Such supervision can based on a cluster scheme, or can
-just simply use controller to constantly monitor the computer host. Figure 6 shows a
-simplified framework for hypervisor cluster.
-
-When host/hypervisor failure happens, VMs on that host should be evacuated. However,
-such scheme should coordinate with the VM HA scheme, so that when both the host and the
-VM detect the failure, they should know who should take responsibility for the evacuation.
-

-
-    Fig 5. HA Deployment of Host OS and Hypervisor
-
-Virtual Machine (VM)
----------------------------------------
-
-VM should be supervised and monitored for failure, and should be repaired when failure
-happens. We can rely on the hypervisor to monitor the VM failure. Another scheme can be
-used is a cluster for the VM, in which failure of VMs in one cluster can be supervised
-and will be repaired by the cluster manager. Pacemaker and other cluster management
-schemes can be considered for the VM cluster.
-
-In case when VNFs do not have HA schemes, extra HA scheme for VM should be taken into
-consideration. Such approach is kind of best effort for the NFV platform to provide HA
-for the VNF service, and may lead to failure copy between VMs when VNF fails. Since the
-NFVI can hardly know of the service runing in the VNF, it is imporssible for the NFVI
-level to provide overall HA solution for the VNF services. Therefore, even though we
-mention this scheme here, we strongly suggest the VNF should have its own HA schemes.
-
-Figure 6 gives an example for the VM active/standby deployment. In this case, both the
-active VM and the standby VM are deployed with the same VNF image. When failure happens
-to the active VM, the standby VM should take the traffic and replace the active VM. Such
-scheme is the best effort of the NFVI when VNFs do not have HA schemes and would only
-rely on VMs to provide redundancy. However, for stateful VNFs, there should be data copy
-between the active VM and standby VM. In this case, fault for the active VM can also be
-copied to the standby VM, leading to failure of the new active VM.

-
-Virtual Network Functions (VNF)
----------------------------------------
-
-For telecom services, it is suggested that VNFs should have its own built-in HA schemes
-or HA schemes implemented in VNF Managerhave to provide high available services to
-the customers. HA schemes for the VNFs can based on cluster. In this case, OpenSAF,
-pacemaker and other cluster management services can be used.
-
-HA schemes for the VNFs should be coordinate with the lower layer. For example, it
-should be clear which level will take responsibility for VM restart. A suggested
-schemes could be, the VNF layer should be responsible for the redundancy and failover
-of the VNFs when failure happens. Such failover should take place in quite a short
-time (less then seconds). The repairing procedure will then take place from upper
-layer to lower layer, that is, the VNF layer will first check if the failure is at
-its layer, and should try to repair itself. If it fails to repaire the failure,
-the failure should escalate to lower layers and let the NFVI layer to do the repair
-work. There could also be cases that the NFVI layer has detected the failure and will
-repair it before the escalation. These functions should be complished by the coordination
-of all different component, including the VNFM, VIM, VNFs and NFVI.
-
-In the meantime, the VNFs can take advantage of API the hypervisor can provide to
-them to enhance HA. Such API may include constant health check from the hypervisor,
-affinity/inaffinity deployment support. example about watchdog
-
-Figure 7 gives an example for the VNF HA scheme.

-
-In this section, we will continiously update the HA deployment guideline for the releases
-of OPNFV.
-
-HA deployment guideline for Arno
-==============================================
-
-Deployment Framework
------------------------------------------------
-
-Figure 8 shows an overall architecture for the HA deployment of ARNO.
-
-.. figure:: HA_ARNO.png
-    :alt: HA Deployment of OPNFV ARNO release
-    :figclass: align-center
-
-    Fig 8. HA Deployment of OPNFV ARNO release
-
-For OPNFV Arno release, HA deployment of Openstack Control Node (Openstack Juno) and ODL
-controller (ODL Helium) is supported. Both deployment tools (fuel and forman)support
-such HA deployment.
-
-For such HA deployment, the following components�� failure is protected
-
-Software:
-* Nova scheduler
-* Nova conductor
-* Cinder scheduler
-* Neutron server
-* Heat engine
-
-Controller hardware:
-* dead server
-* dead switch
-* dead port
-* dead disk
-* full disk
-
-
-HA test result for ARNO
--------------------------------------------------
-
-Two specific High Availability testcases are done on the ARNO release. These test cases
-are collaboratively developed by the High Availability project and the Yardstick project.
-
-Both cases are excuted in the China Mobile's Lab, where ARNO SR1 release is deployed with
-Fuel.
-
-The two testcases respectively test the following two aspects:
-
-1, Controll Node Service HA
-
-In this test, HA of "nova-api" is tested. According to the result, the service can
-successfully failover to the other controller nodes  within 2.36s, once failure happens
-at the active node. However, the service can't repair itself automatically. more
-explaination about the repair, other services are not tested yet.
-
-2, Control Node Hardware HA
-
-In this test, HA of the controller node hardware is tested. One of the hardware is
-abnormally shutdown, and the service of "nova-api" is monitored. According to the test
-results, the service can failover to the other controller node within 10.71 secondes.
-However, the failed hardware can't automatically repair itself.
-
-See more details about these test cases in the Yardstick doc of "Test Results for
-yardstick-opnfv-ha"(https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/#/c/7543/).
-
-From these basic test cases we can see that OPNFV ARNO has integrated with some HA
-schemes in its controller nodes. However, its capability of self repair should be
-enhanced.
-
-HA deployment guideline for Brahmaputra
-==============================================
-In the Brahmaputra release, 4 installers are provided. We will discuss about the HA
-deployment of each installer.
-
-Apex
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-For the installer of Apex, all of the OpenStack services are in HA on all 3 controllers.
-The services are monitored by pacemaker and load balanced by HA Proxy with VIPs.  The
-SDN controllers usually only run as a single instance on the first controller with no
-HA scheme.
-
-Database is clustered with galera in an active passive failover via pacemaker and the
-message bus is rabbitHA and the services are managed by pacemaker.
-
-Storage is using ceph, clustered across the control nodes.
-
-In the future, more work is on the way to provide HA for the SDN controller. The Apex
-team has already finished a demo that runs ODL on each controller, load balanced to
-neutron via a VIP + HA Proxy, but is not using pacemaker. Meanwhile, they are also
-working to include ceph storage HA for compute nodes as well.
-
-Compass
----------------------------------------------------------
-TBD
-
-Fuel
--------------------------------------------------------------
-
-At moment Fuel installer support the following HA schemes.
-
-1)Openstackcontrollers: N-way redundant (1,3,5, etc)
-2)OpenDaylight:No redundancy
-3)Cephstorage OSD: N-way redundant (1,3,5, etc)
-4)Networkingattachment redundancy: LAG
-5)NTPredundancy: N-way relays, up to 3 upstream sources
-6)DNSredundancy: N-way relays, up to 3 upstream sources
-7)DHCP:1+1
-
-JOID
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-JOID provides HA based on openstack services. Individual service charms have been
-deployed in a container within a host, and each charms are distributed in a way each
-service which meant for HA will go into container on individual nodes. For example
-keystone service, there are three containers on each control node and VIP has been
-assigned to use by the front end API to use keystone. So in case any of the container
-fails VIP will keep responding to via the other two services. As HA can be maintainer
-with odd units at least one service container is required to response.
