- GLB (Google load balancers) runs by automatically in every Google edge POP locations (90+ POP’s across the Globe)
- POP = Load balancing
- If we have, our VM/Container group (workloads) running in US region, we make a Http request from Tokyo, the request will not be processed by Load balancer running in USA, but by LB running in Tokyo POP.
- User request -> ISP -> POP (Load balancer) -> Origin
- Static content can be cached in GLB
- All GLB instances for my App, will have Same IP address (Anycast)
- DNS Domain Name -> Single IP for GLB instances ->Multiple Instances Groups (Auto scaling groups) (Multi Region)
- Google cloud, Autoscaler
- In Google cloud -> Single GLB IP -> forward requests to -> multiple Auto scaling groups -> running in Multiple Regions
- In AWS cloud, we need to have Multiple ELB instances (IP’s) for multiple EC2 Auto scaling Groups
