In continuation to my proposal [1], I am brining GSLB support separately for discussion. I have put up functional specification and design documentation at [2]. Please provide feedback, comments.
Quick abstract of the feature: Today CloudStack supports load balancing traffic across the VM instances with in a zone. In case of multi-zone clouds, users can launch service across one or more zones for high availability and disaster recovery. GSLB is set of technologies that are used to load balance traffic across multiple location and also provides disaster recovery. With this feature CloudStack would be able to orchestrate setting up load balancing across multiple zones and also provide disaster recovery solution in case of multiple zone clouds.
