Dear experts, 

Do we require any kind of loadbalancer setup for IFS Cloud 22R2 Clustering setup as Remote installation.

Also can we do the IFS22R2 clustering with 2 Cluster node only?

 

Regards

Sujeeth

Hi @Sujeet Saxena,

I’m afraid I cannot recommend a specific load balancer since R&D has not yet released such information. However, I have seen HAProxy being used by some with IFS Cloud, if I remember correct. Anyway, I think you should be able to use any Load Balancer that would be compatible with Kubernetes.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Sujeet Saxena,

Yes, you do need a Load Balancer. It could be either a software or a hardware Load Balancer of your choice. We currently do not package a Load Balancer with IFS Remote deployment binaries.  

You need to have a minimum of 3 nodes. 

You can find the documentation on this here:

Hope this helps!

Hello Charitha,

 

Could you please suggest which loadbalance is best practice for IFS Clustering, Any name you would prefer..

 

Can we use Internal passthrough Network Load Balancer overview  |  Load Balancing  |  Google Cloud  as we are using GCP cloud? 

 

Regards
