==Google's Chubby lock service==

[[Google]] has developed ''Chubby'', a lock service for loosely coupled distributed systems.<ref name="chubby">[http://research.google.com/archive/chubby.html Google Research Publication: Chubby Distributed Lock Service]. Research.google.com. Retrieved on 2013-09-18.</ref> It is designed for coarse-grained locking and also provides a limited but reliable distributed file system. Key parts of Google's infrastructure, including [[Google File System]], [[BigTableBigtable]], and [[MapReduce]], use Chubby to synchronize accesses to shared resources. Though Chubby was designed as a lock service, it is now heavily used inside Google as a [[name server]], supplanting [[Domain name system|DNS]].<ref name="chubby" />
