Custom .NET apps and clustering
- by Ahmed ilyas
So for a clustered environment - how would this work with your apps?
what about your own custom .NET apps? Would there be a special way to develop them? I know that you can say create a simple Hello world app, and cluster that but they wouldnt be something you could see interms of the UI or anything, so they would effectively need to be developed as a Windows Service perhaps or even as a standard Console app which runs and not wait for user input but you wouldnt see any output from it (unless you redirect output to somewhere else)
What im getting at here is... for those who have experience or developed a cluster application in .NET, how did you do it and what are the things to be aware of?
For example we have the cloud service - fundamentally its built on clustering - if there is an outage, another node takes place and service is resumed as normal but we dont really see much of that downtime.
