Encrypted Replication With DRBD

With the arrival of DRBD® 9.2.6, replication traffic can now be encrypted by the Linux kernel. DRBD is now able to use in-kernel TLS acceleration (kTLS), which has been fully implemented since the release of Linux kernel version 4.17. LINBIT® developer Moritz Wanzenböck initially demoed the new feature during our recent community meeting. While it has […]
Experience the LINBIT Storage Day Webinars

While keeping up with news from our industry, it caught my attention that among EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) users, servers running Rocky Linux have overtaken the others (RHEL, AlmaLinux, OracleLinux). While that may be an interesting fact, it might generate the impression that Rocky is more relevant than RHEL. However, this notion requires […]
Multisite Data Replication Over a WAN for Disaster Recovery

LINBIT® and many other organizations that specialize in high-availability (HA) solutions use and support the cluster manager Pacemaker. Pacemaker, when properly configured, does a great job at maintaining high availability for services, applications, and other resources within a single-site cluster on a LAN. However, as robust a solution as Pacemaker is, it was never designed […]

In fact, that was the very first HA cluster I built for a client when I started working at LINBIT as a support engineer back in 2014. Searching the Internet for HA iSCSI Pacemaker clusters will return […]
