Global load balancing - mesosphere

votes

We are having a Mesosphere DCOS environment where we have different pools/clusters based on regions. How can I setup global load balancing so that I have traffic balanced between pools/clusters. Basically, I am looking to make my deployment highly available by deploying the components to multiple pools.
How can I achieve this in Mesosphere?

Environment:

  • DCOS
  • Marathon
  • Docker
  • RHEL
  • HAProxy

Is that one cluster spanning multiple regions? – js84
I am using the terms cluster and pool interchangeably. Our pools are similar to AWS availability zones. e.g. we may have two pools in EMEA (EMEA-1 & EMEA-2) and Three pools in NA (NA-1, NA-2, NA-3). – Prakash
Can you draw a diagram of your infrastructure? It will be easier to understand what you want to achieve. – janisz

DC/OS 1.11 supports availability zones. First of all make sure you understand the terminology and what is exactly is your setup:

  • zone an isolated data center (there should be low latencies between two zones within the same region)
  • region a geographical region e.g.us-west(you can have each data center on a different continent) - this setup is currently not supported.

So, a multi-zone setup is possible. For multi-region you'd need independent DC/OS clusters, because latencies between regions might be too high.
