<tt>Hi,<br>
<br>
I recently co-authored an article on HA in the IBM cloud using
Pacemaker and Heartbeat.<br>

<br>
The cool thing is that the IBM cloud supports virtual IPs. With
most of the other clouds you have to do DNS failover - which is
sub-optimal ;-). Of course, they added this after we harangued
them ;-) - but still it's very nice to have.<br>
<br>
It uses Heartbeat rather than Corosync because (for good reason)
clouds don't support multicast or broadcast.<br>
<br>
There will be a follow-up article on setting up DRBD in the cloud
as well... Probably a month away or so...<br>
