Hi, everybody@osc i have’nt seen any information on that topic : how to put in place a cluster solution for the OOD frontend to secure the service ? if some of you have any ideas, don’t hesitate. Thanks a lot. jean-marie

I think folks just sit it behind an HAProxy (or similar). They don’t load balance between the two instances but have an active and a passive instance. The active takes all the traffic until the proxy determines otherwise and switches over to the other instance. I imagine you could load balance acro…

We actually know of a site that is using HAProxy for load balancing with OnDemand and have reached out to learn more details about how they do this. I’ll post back here when we get a response.

@jms27000 actually could you clarify what you mean by “put in place a cluster solution for the OOD frontend to secure the service”? Do you mean a load balancing solution to support greater load, or multiple instances to support high availability, or is your question specifically about security?

It’s mainly a high avalaibility topic

Actually thinking about the problem, active/passive gives you no benefit over load balanced. When you’re load balanced across multiple nodes, and anyone of them fails, you only disrupt 1/N customers whereas in a active/passive you disrupt all N. It was a mistake to suggest active/passive type setup…

Hello, all. I would be very interested in knowing how to configure an HAProxy for OnDemand behind a load balancer as well. We have placed ours behind a NetScaler, though we only have one OnDemand server, at least for the moment. We decided to use the NetScaler so that we could enforce the same IP b…

We use active/active with HAproxy on our site. you can see parts of our config at Putting an entire OOD setup behind a web proxy?. No load balancer though.
