9. Shared storage: NFS or?
GlusterFS: completely decentralized, no
SPOF, FUSE client, developed by Red Hat:
http://gluster.org - use ON shared driver.
MooseFS: no native HA, proven stable,
automatic balancing of resources:
http://moosefs.org - use ON shared driver.
Ceph: should solve a lot of problems, but
actually only the block device is "stable":
http://ceph.com - use experimental driver

12. Monitoring
● Check_mk: use a local agent to gather
metrics on every node, generate
nagios/icinga configs to retrieve them and
