Failover Cluster APIs

Purpose

The Failover Cluster APIs are provided by failover clustering on Windows Server. Developers can use the Failover Cluster APIs to do these tasks:

  • Define software and hardware component types to manage on a failover cluster.
  • Run clustering tasks that increase the scalability and availability of the application.
  • Monitor and control failover clusters.
