Try raft. It's the easy version that works most of the time.

Meh .. I think Paxos is easier than raft. A lot of Raft's complexity is in leader election, getting rid of old leaders, etc. Sad that I have failed Google's whiteboard interview soooo many times that I don't bother returning messages from their recruiters.
