Our Next AG? You have to wonder if Matt knew how much push back there would be? Regardless, he functioned as a fabulous stalking horse. Network Nerding So when is a cluster not a cluster nor a cluster f___, nor a f___ing cluster? When you are talking about OVN/OVS. OVN provides for a clustered database.…
