Revision as of 01:52, 7 October 2020

Clusters in the Farms (hereinafter, the Lectio) is the lesson part of the Cloud Foundation Essentials lesson that introduces its participants to CNM Cloud. This lesson belongs to the Introduction to CNM Cloud session of the CNM Cyber Orientation.


Content

The predecessor lectio is Data in the Foundation.

Key terms

CNM Cloud Foundation. The combination of computing servers that host CNM Cloud, as well as those parts of the cloud that are provisioned to run serverless systems.

Script

Backups are used to restore the data, but they cannot prevent work interruptions. Imagine that you are in the middle of exam or another project at CNM Cloud. If its computing server fails, you should wait until the latest backup is restored. Plus, your latest data, most likely, would be lost.
To make CNM Cloud stable, WorldOpp Federated, CNM EndUser, and HandsOn Farm are run in computing clusters. Each cluster includes two or more identically-functioning servers. If one of them fails or is not available, another would continue running. This feature of the CNM Cloud Foundation is called redundancy.
Special load balancers make sure that the servers in one cluster work synchronously to cover for each other and the Cloud users access the server that serves them best.
No user, but the Foundation administrators, can detect that feature. Any cluster acts as a single computing server; only an emergency can possibly help to identify the Cloud's redundancies.
To accommodate experiments of the CNM Cyber Team, CNM Cloud Next is more flexible than the other, more conservative, parts. Depending on the experiments' nature, this part of the Foundation may have any number of server clusters or no clusters at all.

CNM Cloud Online is the successor lectio.
