<div dir="ltr">It might not be the best idea ever, but it worked for me. There's a memcached patch called repcached that allows you to have 2 memcached servers sincronized (as far as I now, it just works for 2 servers) with each other, this way you get HA and LB. The patch source is <span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18px"> </span><a href="https://github.com/usecide/repcached/blob/master/repcached-2.3.1-1.4.13.patch" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(77,70,156);font-family:Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18px">https://github.com/usecide/repcached/blob/master/repcached-2.3.1-1.4.13.patch</a> and here you've got a little example <a href="http://viviendolared.blogspot.com.ar/2014/01/memcached-replicado-en-ubuntu-1204-lts.html">http://viviendolared.blogspot.com.ar/2014/01/memcached-replicado-en-ubuntu-1204-lts.html</a> running on Ubuntu 12.04 (sorry about the spanish link, but the steps are pretty straight forward).</div>

<div>It has been a while, but I believe I load-balanced memcached using HAProxy (using sticky sessions) and observed no issues with fail-over.</div>

</div><div><div class="h5">

<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have an OpenStack cloud with two HA cloud controllers. Each controller runs the standard controller components: glance, keystone, nova minus compute and network, cinder, horizon, mysql, rabbitmq, and memcached.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Everything except memcached is accessed through haproxy and everything is working great (well, rabbit can be finicky ... I might post about that if it continues).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The problem I currently have is how to effectively work with memcached in this environment. Since all components are load balanced, they need access to the same memcached servers. That's solved by the ability to specify multiple memcached servers in the
various openstack config files.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But if I take a server down for maintenance, I notice a 2-3 second delay in all requests. I've confirmed it's memcached by editing the list of memcached servers in the config files and the delay goes away.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm wondering how people deploy memcached in environments like this? Are you using some type of memcached replication between servers? Or if a memcached server goes offline are you reconfiguring OpenStack to remove the offline memcached server?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Joe</div>
