All:
I am trying to get a clear understanding of where or if Global Load Balancing
as a Service fits within the OpenStack ecosystem. I have included a list of
basic use cases that I think a Global Load Balancing service should provide:
• Route traffic (HTTP/FTP/Database/etc...) across multiple data centers
without having a single point of failure (i.e. LBaaS Virtual IP address)
• Monitor health of defined endpoints (load balancers or servers) with
protocol-specific health checks
• Route traffic to another data center in the event of a health check
failure
• Route traffic based on a requestor’s geographical location (GeoIP)
• Route traffic based on latency between requestor and defined endpoints
Please let me know if you have any opinions/recommendations on this matter or
are interested in solving this problem.
Kind regards,
Tom Creighton
