Load balancing in a high-availability cluster

A first network device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor to:
• configure a high-availability communication link with a second network device to form a high-availability cluster,
• wherein the high-availability cluster is associated with a network;
• identify a set of domain controllers that are communicatively coupled to the network and a set of user devices that are communicatively coupled to the network;
• detect a domain controller event that is associated with a user device of the set of user devices;
• add, to a task queue maintained within the first network device, a domain controller task that is associated with the domain controller event,
• wherein the task queue is configured to be accessible to the second network device, to permit the second network device to select and perform the domain controller task or the first network device to perform the domain controller task;
• obtain result information associated with a performance of the domain controller task by the second network device;
• and
• perform, based on the result information, an action associated with the user device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first network device, cause the one or more processors to:
• configure a high-availability cluster for a network,
• wherein the high-availability cluster is formed to include the first network device and a second network device;
• identify a plurality of devices communicatively coupled to the network;
• determine a set of tasks for the plurality of devices;
• queue the set of tasks in a task queue maintained in the first network device that is accessible to the second network device via a high-availability communication link of the high-availability cluster to select a task of the set of tasks,
• wherein the task queue is configured to permit the second network device to select and perform a task of the set of tasks to load balance the set of tasks between the first network device and the second network device;
• obtain a result of a performance of the task by the second network device;
• and
• perform an action associated with the result.
