Each GSLB site is managed by a NetScaler appliance that is local to that - site.

One - or more virtual servers from different zones are bound to the GSLB virtual server.

After a GSLB virtual server selects a GSLB service representing either a local - or a remote load balancing or content switching virtual server, the client sends the - request to that virtual serverâs VIP address.</para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para><emphasis role="bold">DNS VIPs</emphasis>: DNS virtual IP represents a load - balancing DNS virtual server on the GSLB service provider.

The following is an - illustration of how GLSB functionality is provided in &PRODUCT;: An organization, xyztelco, - has set up a public cloud that spans two zones, Zone-1 and Zone-2, across geographically - separated data centers that are managed by &PRODUCT;. Tenant-A of the cloud launches a - highly available solution by using xyztelco cloud. For that purpose, they launch two - instances each in both the zones: VM1 and VM2 in Zone-1 and VM5 and VM6 in Zone-2. Tenant-A - acquires a public IP, IP-1 in Zone-1, and configures a load balancer rule to load balance - the traffic between VM1 and VM2 instances. &PRODUCT; orchestrates setting up a virtual - server on the LB service provider in Zone-1. Virtual server 1 that is set up on the LB - service provider in Zone-1 represents a publicly accessible virtual server that client - reaches at IP-1. The client traffic to virtual server 1 at IP-1 will be load balanced across - VM1 and VM2 instances. </para> - <para>Tenant-A acquires another public IP, IP-2 in Zone-2 and sets up a load balancer rule to - load balance the traffic between VM5 and VM6 instances. Similarly in Zone-2, &PRODUCT; - orchestrates setting up a virtual server on the LB service provider. Virtual server 2 that - is setup on the LB service provider in Zone-2 represents a publicly accessible virtual - server that client reaches at IP-2. The client traffic that reaches virtual server 2 at IP-2 - is load balanced across VM5 and VM6 instances. At this point Tenant-A has the service - enabled in both the zones, but has no means to set up a disaster recovery plan if one of the - zone fails. Additionally, there is no way for Tenant-A to load balance the traffic - intelligently to one of the zones based on load, proximity and so on. The cloud - administrator of xyztelco provisions a GSLB service provider to both the zones. A GSLB - provider is typically an ADC that has the ability to act as an ADNS (Authoritative Domain - Name Server) and has the mechanism to monitor health of virtual servers both at local and - remote sites. The cloud admin enables GSLB as a service to the tenants that use zones 1 and - 2. </para> - <mediaobject> - <imageobject> - <imagedata fileref="./images/gslb.png"/> - </imageobject> - <textobject> - <phrase>gslb.png: GSLB architecture</phrase> - </textobject> - </mediaobject> - <para>Tenant-A wishes to leverage the GSLB service provided by the xyztelco cloud.

The domain name is provided as A.xyztelco.com. &PRODUCT; orchestrates - setting up GSLB virtual server 1 on the GSLB service provider at Zone-1. &PRODUCT; binds - virtual server 1 of Zone-1 and virtual server 2 of Zone-2 to GLSB virtual server 1. GSLB - virtual server 1 is configured to start monitoring the health of virtual server 1 and 2 in - Zone-1. &PRODUCT; will also orchestrate setting up GSLB virtual server 2 on GSLB service - provider at Zone-2. &PRODUCT; will bind virtual server 1 of Zone-1 and virtual server 2 of - Zone-2 to GLSB virtual server 2. GSLB virtual server 2 is configured to start monitoring the - health of virtual server 1 and 2. &PRODUCT; will bind the domain A.xyztelco.com to both the - GSLB virtual server 1 and 2. At this point, Tenant-A service will be globally reachable at - A.xyztelco.com. The private DNS server for the domain xyztelcom.com is configured by the - admin out-of-band to resolve the domain A.xyztelco.com to the GSLB providers at both the - zones, which are configured as ADNS for the domain A.xyztelco.com. A client when sends a DNS - request to resolve A.xyztelcom.com, will eventually get DNS delegation to the address of - GSLB providers at zone 1 and 2. A client DNS request will be received by the GSLB provider. - The GSLB provider, depending on the domain for which it needs to resolve, will pick up the - GSLB virtual server associated with the domain. Depending on the health of the virtual - servers being load balanced, DNS request for the domain will be resolved to the public IP - associated with the selected virtual server.</para> - </section> - </section> - <section id="gslb-workflow"> - <title>Configuring GSLB</title> - <para>To configure a GSLB deployment, you must first configure a standard load balancing setup - for each zone.

One of the prime use-case is cluster computing frameworks on cloudstack. A cloudformation service will give users and administrators of cloudstack ability to manage and control a set of resources easily. The cloudformation will allow booting and configuring a set of VMs and form a cluster. Simple example would be LAMP stack. More complex clusters such as mesos or hadoop cluster requires a little more advanced configuration. There is already some work done by Chiradeep Vittal at this front [5]. In this project, I will implement server side cloudformation service for cloudstack and demonstrate how to run mesos cluster using it. - </para> - </section> - - <section id="mesos"> - <title>Mesos</title> - <para> - <ulink url="http://incubator.apache.org/mesos/";><citetitle>Mesos</citetitle></ulink> is a resource management platform for clusters.
