Let's see.
firewalld. Yet another netfilter/nft frontend. One of favorite Red Hat
toys.
pacemaker. For those who think that cluster is "it's not down if it's
restarted on a neighbour host".
nfs-ganesha. Userspace NFS server, designed to be run in a container.
Slow as a snail, but is useful to somebody.
teamd. Linux bonding has a huge implementation deficiency - it does not
depend on dbus :) This one does.
avahi-daemon. Was mentioned in this very thread.
And last, but not least - any terminal server, like LTSP.
