NimbostratusTopology Load balancing Wide IP's
Hi, I have a Setup in which, we have 10 Data centers and 10 Servers are hosted in each DC's. I want a Scenario so that region Specific traffic goes to the specified DC's as per Topology records.This is easy when i create a single pool and use Topology record with Country as source and Data Center as destination. But my requirement is something different for example When users in America tries they needs to redirected to America data center and if the server in America is unable they need to be redirected to Europe, Same if users in Singapore needs to go to Singapore DC if the server is down they need to go India. How to Achieve this? i tried creating multiple pools, but later came to know Topology will not work if we use in wide IP level if records are created based on data center.
You can create different topology records for the same source and apply different destinations with different weight. If the destination object with higher rate is unavailable, gtm should switch to the destination with lower weight.
E.g
gtm topology ldns: country SG server: datacenter /Common/DC1 {
order 3
score 20
}
gtm topology ldns: country SG server: datacenter /Common/DC2 {
order 4
score 10
}You can use pools as destination, DC is just an example
