Minimum Scalable HA Setup

OpenStack Queuing Service has two main layers. First one is the transport (queuing application) layer which provides the RESTful interface, second one is the storage layer which keeps all the data and meta-data about queues and messages.

For a HA setup, a load balancer has to be placed in front of the web servers. Load balancer setup is out of scope in this document.

For storage we will use `mongoDB in order to provide high availability with minimum administration overhead. For transport, we will use wsgi`.

To have a small footprint while providing HA, we will use 2 web servers which will host the application and 3 mongoDB servers (configured as replica-sets) which will host the catalog and queues databases. At larger scale, catalog database and the queues database are advised to be hosted on different mongoDB replica sets.
