Hello,
https://github.com/svlsResearch/ha-mikrotik
The link above was suggested to me in another post on vrrp in this forum.
Has anyone tried it out?

Looks pretty neat, but without official support, I doubt many would try it. Personally, I would love to see a CARP implementation, or some other extension of VRRP that supports state synchronization and HA auto-failover. Also a simplified multi-WAN load balancing capability would be nice. I’m about to upgrade my cabinet to dual ISP’s, and I’d love to have a true HA setup using MikroTik at my perimeter. As it stands, I’m probably going to have to go with pfSense because it supports the features MikroTik doesn’t. I still may use MT for my core routing, but I just don’t think their product is quite mature enough to work as an edge security appliance. Throughput drops too much when you add firewall rules or use layer 7 filtering for DPI, lack of state sync between cluster members, etc. Of course, state sync would probably be extremely useful in the core as well to keep internal applications from going down in the event of a core member failure.
Very good idea, but as mpreissner pointed out we need official support for this. Big enterprise likes high availability, big enterprise = big money 
Ok but Big Enterprises is also Cisco or Juniper or similar.
It is probably not the main market for MikroTik.
pe1chl, that’s the exact point which I’m talking about. Mikrotik should move toward big enterprise, they can provide a broader range of possibilities than cisco/juniper and keep the price lower in the same time. Anyway the firmware in mikrotik routers is quite buggy yet, they should learn to test better their software at first.
Big enterprises are not interested in lower price of boxes, they look at the total price of boxes,
engineers, troubleshooting, etc (TCO). They tend not to experiment with newcomer’s products.
