Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

OK, so apparently there are some wolves inside you that I initially thought.

@DasFaultier That more or less implies the existence of a STOWITH protocol .. which is not something I would support.

@jaark Maybe we could implement a Stop Giving The Misbehaving Wolves Tasty Treats (SGTMWTT) protocol until full wolf cluster functionality is restored.

@DasFaultier I’ve run active/active wolves ever since that one incident where the primary wolf failed and I found out the secondary had been replaced with a LIVLIG.
Show threadDasFaultierDec 20, 2024
@waider I absolutely get that, and you usually only find out when it's too late and you need the failover.
I would expect that a LIVLIG's fur a very much SOFTware?

@DasFaultier

Quorum Badger has a heartbeat protocol that goes "badger, badger, badger" with a synchronization pulse of "mushroom, mushroom."

Please watch out for snakes. They can disrupt the Quorum Badger protocol.

@DasFaultier The badger has queuing and priority heuristics to avoid wolf race conditions, which have been observed at high northern latitudes in the presence of snow.
