Abstract
Internet servers need to be highly-available, inexpensive,and scalable. These goals are often conflicting and mostdesigns meet, with limited success, only few of them.In this paper we describe the SunSCALR frameworkthat achieves these goals by combining proven technologies,careful system design, and engineering trade-offs. It usesa distributed, self-stabilizing algorithm for status monitoringand failure detection, and IP failover for automatic reconfiguration. SunSCALR provides...Keywords
