Increase the Robustness of Cluster Agents #5

Open freeformflow opened 9 years ago

freeformflow commented 9 years ago

The use of semi-autonomous agents (hook and kick servers) in our clusters is a crucial design feature and part of what makes Huxley special. However, these are also potential points of failure.

To get around this problem, we must deploy each agent as multiple instances in a high-availability configuration. This somewhat complex configuration must be folded into the automated construction of clusters.
