Veritas has introduced two high availability agents for AWS:
Both these agents are bundled with the product.
The AWSIP agent manages the networking resources in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud environment. The agent uses AWS CLIs to associate IP resources in an AWS cloud environment. The agent does the following:
Assigns and unassigns private IP address
Associates and disassociates Elastic IP address and assigns/unassigns private IP
Manages route table entries of overlay IP for failing over across subnets
The AWSRoute53 agent updates and monitors the host name to IP address mapping. The agent does the mapping for the AWS Route 53 domain while failing over nodes across subnets. When you create a hosted zone, Amazon Route 53 automatically creates a name server (NS) record and a start of authority (SOA) record for the zone.
Use the AWSRoute53 agent if the Resource Records need to be dynamically added and deleted from the Route 53 domain during failover. The agent updates the new resource record mappings while failing over and allows the clients to connect to the failed over instance of the application.
