[Kea-users] HA Kea with config replication

[Giddings, Bret]

Hi Sam,

We just build the config hourly from our external data sources (making use of a template and appropriate include files) and use ansible to copy out to both servers if changed restart. Works a treat.

Regards,

Bret

Hello,

Our org is interested in setting up Kea HA setup on hot-standby. Lease sync will not be a problem but I am concerned with how to manage host reservations without using the paid configuration backend hooks. We heavily utilize host reservations and would be consistently adding/removing old reservations from the configuration file which would in turn require making the same edits on both HA servers. Has anyone else done a similar setup or know a better way without making use of a DB backend?

Thank you,
