Why not drive such a small cluster with a single primary controller in a
migratable or even HA-VM?

I've never understood what a backup controller is good for when you need
very reliable/HA-shared storage and a very reliabe/HA-MySQL (*cought*)
installation on top off that (or live with the illusion that two
processes instead of one depending on two SPOFs make it a dependable
cluster)
-- apart from very big clusters where a single controller VM with all
the dependencies won't cut it because it might become a bottleneck.

But I'm eager to learn about the advantages of a backup controller (and
the necessary[?] complexity)
