Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

A new keepalived package is now available as a Technology Preview for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The keepalived package provides simple and robust facilities for load-balancing and high-availability. The load-balancing framework relies on the well-know and widely used Linux Virtual Server kernel module providing Layer4 network load-balancing. The keepalived daemon implements a set of health checkers to load-balanced server pools according their state. The keepalived daemon also implements the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), allowing router or director failover to achieve high availability.

This enhancement update adds the keepalived package to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 as a Technology Preview. (BZ#846064)

More information about Red Hat Technology Previews is available at https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/

All users who want to use the keepalived Technology Preview should install this newly-released package, which adds this enhancement.
