Abstract
Techniques for achieving high availability (HA) in a cloud environment are presented. Cloud storage provided to multiple tenants is accessed via a plurality of controllers via a switch. The controllers are organized in a ring and each controller is responsible for detecting failures in adjoining controllers within the ring. Storage services for the tenants are serviced without disruptions even when multiple nodes completely fail at the same time.
