[Openstack-operators] OpenStack Dashboard in HA

We use the memcached set up. It works well across horizon restarts (as we needed to do regular restarts of horizon until we found the fix at https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-novaclient/+bug/1247056 for the file descriptor leak).

Is the cookie storage is not enough? For me it works fine without any shared storage between dashboards.

You need some way to address HTTP sessions. Otherwise you will be randomly logged out if your request goes to a different dashboard host than the one you logged in on. One way is to set up a shared memcached cluster that each dashboard host talks to--configure the "CACHE" setting in the local_settings.py file. [1] Another way is to configure your load balancer with session stickiness/affinity.

should be as simple as deploying several instances and load balancing between them properly.

Hi,
I've read all the guide http://docs.openstack.org/high-availability-guide/high-availability-guide.pdf, but it seems that the HA configuration for the Dashboard is not covered.

I wonder if it is worth to do it, or it is not treated because the Dashboard is a simple stateless service which can just be "mirrored" on another node without any particular setup.

Could someone clarify ?

many thanks!

Alvise
