Abstract
The document exists as both a reference and deployment guide for the Pacemaker Remote service.
The example commands in this document will use:
CentOS 7.4 as the host operating system
Pacemaker Remote to perform resource management within guest nodes and remote nodes
KVM for virtualization
libvirt to manage guest nodes
Corosync to provide messaging and membership services on cluster nodes
Pacemaker 1.1.16
to perform resource management on cluster nodes
pcs as the cluster configuration toolset
The concepts are the same for other distributions, virtualization platforms, toolsets, and messaging layers, and should be easily adaptable.
