[jira] [Commented] (LIBCLOUD-426) Add Linode NodeBalancer support

["Jon Chen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-426?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14115561#comment-14115561 ] 

Jon Chen commented on LIBCLOUD-426:
-----------------------------------

Due to the design of Linode [NodeBalancer|https://www.linode.com/api/nodebalancer/nodebalancer.create], a single Nodebalancer unit is a single billing unit with an IP address, a 10k connections/second limit, and multiple [NodeBalancer configs|https://www.linode.com/api/nodebalancer/nodebalancer.node.create]. NodeBalancer configs handle port, protocol, algorithm, session management, health checks, and backend nodes are attached to configs.

Therefore, a driver implementation would need to consider a NodeBalancer config as a LoadBalancer while also exposing a LinodeNodeBalancer object that is associated with LoadBalancers.

I've been [working|https://github.com/fly/libcloud/compare/426_add_nodebalancer] on and off on an implementation, and would welcome any comments or suggestions.
