load-balancing

I'm new in GCE, and I am confused about setting up the load balancer. If I have two instances, serving on Port 9000, I want to setup a balancer that accepts on port 80, then route requests to my instances in port 9000.. a diagram like this.. LB:port:80 -> VM:port:9000 I have other load balancers from other providers which has a settings like pointing to VM's port. but in GCE, I cant seem to find it, or I am missing something.. I hope I am making a sense, here. thank you in advance It isn't possible in GCE to do a port rewriting. As a workaround I use port forwarding using iptables Then in GCE,

I'm trying to configure Apache ServiceMix 4 to provide load balancing feature mentioned in it's documentation (for example here: http://servicemix.apache.org/clustering.html ). Although it's mentioned, I couldn't find the exact way how to do it. The idea is to have 2 ServiceMixes (in LAN, for example) with the same OSGi service installed in them. When client tries to use the service, the load balancer takes him to appropriate service instance on one of the ServiceMixes. Is there an easy way to do that? Fabric8 ( http://fabric8.io/ ) can do Karaf/ServiceMix clustering and much more out of the

I'm utilizing Azure for hosting a cloud service, which I recently modified to be scalable across multiple instances, including a session caching worker role. My question is, why would I be seeing extreme load (upwards of 90%) on one instance, but not on other instances (15-20% across all other instances)? Should I be worried? Before I set up load balancing and when my single instance hit upwards of 95% load, it would slow to a crawl --- becoming unusable. Is there any way to ensure that I don't have any users experiencing this because they're somehow round-robin'd onto the overloaded instance?

I recently started with node and I have been reading a lot about its limitation of it being single threaded and how it does not utilise your cores and then I read this http://bit.ly/1n2YW68 (which talk about the new cluster module of nodejs for loadbalancing) Now I'm not sure I completely agree to it :) because the first thing that I thought of before starting with node on how to make it utilise cores with proper load balancing is via web-server some like upstream module like nginx like doing something like this upstream domain1 { server http://nodeapp1; server http://nodeapp2; server http:/

I'm using Amazon Load Balancer with SSL configuration. everything when fine except on Firefox that show the exception page. It looks not self to user. This article suggest to put the Certificate Chain to the configuration section. My SSL provider is Comodo (InstantSSL). They provide two files .crt and .ca-bundle only. How can i generate the Certificate Chain? You can cat the .crt and the .ca-bundle file together. That's what we wound up doing using a service called OpDemand, which is backed by AWS. cat certfile.crt bundle.ca-bundle >> chain.crt chain.crt should be the file you're looking for.
