[chef] Re: High Availability of Bookshelf in Chef 11

No, Bookshelf doesn't sync the data for you. That configuration option maps to the HA configuration of Enterprise Chef, and it essentially disables the service by default and hands control over its state to a supervisor. We use DRBD to replicate the block device between two nodes, and keepalived to transition a VIP between them.

Hello,

According to document[1] of Chef 11 Server, there is an option in Bookshelf part

bookshelf['ha'] :  Use to run the Chef server in a high availability topology. Default value: false.

What does this mean? Does the HA here mean we can setup a bookshelf cluster with multiple nodes running Bookshelf service and Bookshelf will sync data (replica) automatically for us?
If it is true, how can I specify nodes in the cluster?
If it is false, how can I set up a cluster of Bookshelf ?
Can I use other S3 service instead of Bookshelf ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Tetsu
