John Ousterhout's slides-and-voiceover lecture on Paxos, made for the Raft user study comparing how students learn Raft and Paxos. It is a full introduction to the Paxos consensus algorithm.
Why HN recommends it: Recommended as a clear, lucid way to learn Paxos and Multi-Paxos, ideally alongside the companion Raft video.
“The 2 videos do an excellent job of explaining both the Paxos and Raft algorithms and the key differences between them.” Read on HN ↗
