About this course

High availability is the feature most teams trust without fully understanding. This one-day deep dive demystifies the HA stack — how the resource manager makes decisions, what fencing really protects against, and how to design groups and failure domains that match your actual risk.

The final lab is deliberately destructive: we kill nodes, isolate networks and cut storage, then watch the cluster recover. You leave knowing exactly what your own HA policy will and will not survive.

  5. Tuning migrate/relocate policies 1h
