I have been using CentOS linux for a while now so I have quite goodknowledge of linux system administration, but I have never installedand configured a CentOS linux cluster. I bought this book to guide methrough the process of installing and configuring a linux cluster onlatest CentOS version 7 with Pacekamer cluster resource manager. Imust say the book did a really good job at it, providing me with astep-by-step guide, detailed description of every step and alsoadditional insights on the parameters used and why to use them. Withthis book I successfully configured a 4 node CentOS 7 cluster withMySQL, Apache, Tomcat and DRBD cluster services. I recommend this bookto everyone who want to set up CentOS linux cluster on CentOS 6 orCentOS 7.

After a while not using the open source Cluster Stack solution, I found myself in trouble to get a cluster running on Centos 7, since the last version of the solution I used was Heartbeat 2.This book got me updated on the new components of the stack as well as well as with the new set of managing tools included on the stack.The author is clear and objective explaining the concepts of a Cluster solution and it's components. When comes to configuring the solution he presents step by step all the options available within stack that could meet the wanted requirements.I truly recommend this book to all of those who need a guidance in order to start implementing the Linux Cluster Stack.

I have been working on RedHat cluster stack cman, corosync & pacemaker implementation for couple of years, yet I thought of buying this book hoping I can acquire more on this technology. That proved to be correct. I love this book, one its structure, second areas it covers. It start with introducing the high availability in general and move on to discuss the CentOS cluster stack. Further the book talks about the underlying protocols such as TOTEM which I have not come across much resources on this area. Book covers both rgmanager (CentOS 6) and pcs(CentOS 7). Overall I feel book covers required theory and practical implementation of the CentOS high availability and recommend the book as a good resource for anyone interested in high-availability setup.

This book is a well laid out approach to CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).Outside of official RHEL training books and expensive classes which are extremely technical in nature, this book helps you ease into the basics of systems administration and quickly takes you from noob to engineer focusing on making your CentOS environment HA!From GRUB to Filesystems to Processes this book covers the foundations of CentOS giving you the reader a better grasp and understanding of one of the worlds most powerful and widely used linux operating systems

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
