For High Availability file system cluster, is it a good idea to use amazon load balancer to manage the ec2-instances where i have setup the gluster cluster.

If i can use a aws load balancer is it possible to create a init script where i can specify the instance type,gluster installation steps in the load balancer. Thanks.

If you have multiple instance in the cluster you have to use a load balancer what other option do you have ? – error2007s
Native glusterfs client has built-in fail over and high availability features. Also glusterfs has something called backupvolfile-server=server name If this option is added while mounting fuse client, when the first volfile server fails, then the server specified in backupvolfile-server option is used as volfile server to mount the client. – nad87563

I don't think it's a good idea. Why don't you want to use Amazon S3 as your data storage? It's redundant and highly available by design.

You can also set up cross-region replication replication in order to have ultimate high-availability.
