What we have actually is an Elastic Load Balancer

[Lahiru Sandaruwan <la...@wso2.com>]

Hi all,

$subject. Came across [1]. IMO we should rename our LB to ELB.

Thanks.

[Lahiru Sandaruwan <la...@wso2.com>]

I stated following about Stratos at last reply.

 "but we can say that we do have "Elastic Load Balancing" in Stratos."

No point of arguing further for wording :)

Re: What we have actually is an Elastic Load Balancer

[Nirmal Fernando <ni...@gmail.com>]

hmm.., now you are mixing Stratos and Load Balancer. :( Stratos obviously
has auto-scaling capability via Auto-scaler but Load Balancer does not. Our
Load balancer cannot scale itself without Auto-scaler.

Hence, you can call LB as ELB, only if we put LB + Auto-scaler together,
IMO.

*Elastic Load Balancing automatically scales its request handling capacity
to meet the demands of application traffic. *

If you read this carefully, it says about "scaling of request handling
capacity". Stratos has this capability.

*Additionally, Elastic Load Balancing offers integration with Auto Scaling
to ensure that you have back-end capacity to meet varying levels of traffic
levels without requiring manual intervention. *

Here it says "*Elastic Load Balancing offers integration with Auto Scaling"
.* Means, Autoscaling is a separate task, but with integration with
Autoscaling, it ensures the back-end capability to meet varying level of
traffic.

Stratos has this capability too.

Do you agree?

Re: What we have actually is an Elastic Load Balancer

[Lahiru Sandaruwan <la...@wso2.com>]

OK if everyone votes LB. Yes, it may also help understanding the concepts
separately to someone.

But i think we have not got the point correctly here.

Elastic load balancing does not mean that "it scales the PaaS".
It means "the load balancing capability is elastic".

So we may not rename LB, but we can say that we do have "Elastic Load
Balancing" in Stratos.

Thanks.

Re: What we have actually is an Elastic Load Balancer

I also agree. I think when we consider the load balancer as a stand-alone
product it does not handle elasticity. Therefore the better term would be
LB.

Thanks

Not really :)

 Elastic
 Elastic Load Balancing automatically scales its request handling capacity
to meet the demands of application traffic. Additionally, Elastic Load
Balancing offers integration with Auto Scaling to ensure that you have
back-end capacity to meet varying levels of traffic levels without
requiring manual intervention.
