This section describes how to deploy the appliances in a Abiquo distributed scalable environment and it is for users who already have an environment. If this is an initial install, see the full instructions at Install a distributed scalable environment. |
| Note |
|---|
This document describes the new distributed scalable environment with a separate sdatanode datanode server. |
...
One Abiquo server
One Datanode server
One V2V server in each Abiquo datacenter
One Remote Services server in each Abiquo datacenter
Optionally, one Monitoring server

To plan for your install, you can write IP addresses and other values on the Distributed environment worksheet. For more details and an example, see Distributed environment worksheet example. |

Notes
...
These are important points about the Abiquo environment.
In each DC on the V2V appliance and Remote Services appliance.The datacenter ID must be the same in , that platform must mount the same VM repository folder
In each DC on the V2V appliance and Remote Services appliance.The , the datacenter ID must be the same
For each datacenter, the datacenter ID must be different for each datacenter.
The Server appliance FQDN requires must have DNS resolution.
...
Appliances
Distributed environments split the Abiquo platform functionality among different servers to improve reliability and performance. They are ideal for production environments.
To deploy a distributed environment, This section describes the appliances that you will need to deploy at least one server, one remote services, one V2V appliance, and one datanode.

The datanode includes the following components and is prepared for use in a high-availability cluster configuration.
Component | Description |
MaxScale | Read/write splitting across all nodes in Galera, to write to only one node. |
MariaDB Galera | Synchronous multi-director cluster for MariaDB. |
HAproxy | Balancing across all Redis instances, but only leader instance is active |
Redis | Stores volatile information such as tasks. |
Sentinel | Provides high availability for Redis. |
RabbitMQ | Queues for remote services. |
Zookeeper | Manages API leader selection (for more than one API server) |
