Developers and system administrators requiring a tool to implement reliable communication within their applications and services
About Corosync Cluster Engine
The Corosync Cluster Engine is a group communication system with additional features for implementing high availability within applications. The project provides four C application programming interface features. Closed process group communication model with extended virtual synchrony guarantees for creating replicated state machines; a simple availability manager that restarts the application process when it has failed; a configuration and statistics in-memory database that provides the ability to set, retrieve, and receive change notifications of information; and a quorum system that notifies applications when a quorum is achieved or lost. Our project is used as a high-availability framework by projects such as Pacemaker and Asterisk. We are always looking for developers or users interested in clustering or participating in our project.

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service. Customers such as Duolingo, Samsung, GE, and Cook Pad use ECS to run their most sensitive and mission-critical applications because of its security, reliability, and scalability. ECS is a great choice to run containers for several reasons. First, you can choose to run your ECS clusters using AWS Fargate, which is serverless compute for containers. Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design. Second, ECS is used extensively within Amazon to power services such as Amazon SageMaker, AWS Batch, Amazon Lex, and Amazon.com’s recommendation engine, ensuring ECS is tested extensively for security, reliability, and availability.

SafeKit
Evidian SafeKit is a high-availability software solution designed to ensure the redundancy of critical applications on Windows and Linux platforms. It provides an all-in-one approach by integrating load balancing, synchronous real-time file replication, automatic application failover, and automated failback after a server failure, all within a single software product. This eliminates the need for additional hardware components such as network load balancers or shared disks, as well as the necessity for enterprise editions of operating systems and databases. SafeKit's software clustering facilitates the creation of mirror clusters with real-time data replication and failover, farm clusters with load balancing and failover, and advanced architectures like farm+mirror clusters and active-active clusters. Its shared-nothing architecture simplifies deployment, even in remote sites, by avoiding the complexities associated with shared disk clusters.
