Systemd doesn't "solve" these problems so much as it puts them into a Windows-y monolith that you then have to understand in its entirety, and have to update all the time, forcing you to startup/shutdown services managed by it. Given its accumulated complexity, systemd isn't viable for HA systems.
- otterley 9y ago> systemd isn't viable for HA systems You mean, besides all the highly-available systems on which it currently runs? Since it's already part of the two most-used distributions in the world, it's fair to say that it's gotten sufficient exercise such that all of the serious kinks have been worked out by now. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by having to "update all the time." Sure, systemd gets occasional security/bugfix patches, but so did sysvinit. And like sysvinit, systemd is hot-reloadable, so it's never been a problem in practice.
