Estimating the term…
Various embodiments enable redundant or replica services, such as “cloud” services, to be run at geographically distributed locations. Each replica is capable of performing operations that are generally, identically performed across all replicas. In the event of an interruption at one location, services in other locations can quickly and automatically take over operations. In one or more embodiments, a Distributed Agreement Protocol is utilized to bind a CRUD-type protocol as a state machine. Binding takes place through the use of a reverse proxy that is located at each of the locations at which the service is distributed. In at least some embodiments, the Distributed Agreement Protocol is implemented as the Paxos protocol or a variant thereof, and/or the CRUD-type protocol comprises the HTTP protocol.
