What is DRBD?

DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device) is a software-based, shared-nothing, replicated storage solution for Linux. It mirrors block devices (hard drives, partitions, logical volumes, etc.) between servers. It's commonly used to provide high availability (HA) for applications by ensuring that data is replicated in real-time to a backup server, allowing for quick failover in case of a primary server failure.
