DR as a service in CloudPlatform?

Hello,

Could you please confirm if any DR specific features are being developed for CloudStack/CloudPlatform? (e.g. DR tags that indicate whether a machine should be moved between zones in case of a failure) If positive, could you please share some details about how exactly it will work?

Thanks,
Octavian

Hi,

Here is the documentation on GSLB.

Thanks Giles - I've always thought the two development roadmaps are somewhat aligned (at least roughly), hence my question about CP as well.

Hi Octavian

The closest thing in CloudStack that I know of is probably GSLB - but it won't start individual VMs up in a different zone but transfer the traffic to a different zone if 'primary' zone fails

WRT Citrix Cloudplaform : this isn't really the right place to ask about the Citrix roadmap. You should ask your Citrix rep that


Kind Regards
