The main goal of this project is to provide simple and robust facilities
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
for loadbalancing and high-availability to Linux system and Linux based
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
infrastructures. Loadbalancing framework relies on well-known and widely
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
used Linux Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module providing Layer4 loadbalancing.
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
Keepalived implements a set of checkers to dynamically and adaptively maintain
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
and manage loadbalanced server pool according their health. On the other hand
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
high-availability is achieved by the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
VRRP is a fundamental brick for router failover. In addition, Keepalived
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
implements a set of hooks to the VRRP finite state machine providing low-level
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
and high-speed protocol interactions. In order to offer fastest network
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
failure detection, Keepalived implements the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
(BFD) protocol. VRRP state transition can take into account BFD hints to drive
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
fast state transition. Keepalived frameworks can be used independently or all
|
|
Packit Service |
dfccb1 |
together to provide resilient infrastructures.

Keepalived implementation is based on an I/O multiplexer to handle a
|
|
Packit |
c22fc9 |
strong multi-threading framework. All the events process use this I/O
|
|
Packit |
c22fc9 |
multiplexer.

To build keepalived from the git source tree, you will need to have
|
|
Packit |
c22fc9 |
autoconf, automake and various libraries installed. See the INSTALL
|
|
Packit |
c22fc9 |
file for details of what needs to be installed and what needs to be
|
|
Packit |
c22fc9 |
executed before building keepalived.
