I know its not trendy, but, if you want to not bother writing software to handle redundancy, you can pay IBM to do it in hardware.
Seriously. if you pay IBM for a couple of z series machines, you can link them together in step, and literally blow one up, and you'll only loose a certain number of CPU cycles.
sure they are expensive, but its cheaper than buying a team of ten engineers for x years to make K8s do the same thing.
- leokennis 6y agoSeeing how banks and other industries are throwing money at the wall to migrate away from the mainframe, and seeing how money speaks louder than words, I’m doubting that last statement. Also, you don’t buy mainframes, you rent mainframe CPU cycles. Or actually, you will pay for the rolling window 4 hour peak of CPU utilization. IBM will gladly ship out the fridge sized box that holds those CPU’s to your data center for free, as soon as you turn it on their cash starts coming in.
