Tier1 and Tier2 LB

Business-Critical and Large-Scale services may need to be deployed across two or more regions, for scalability and high-availability purposes. This Getting-Started Guide explains how this can be achieved with Tetrate's Edge Gateway solution, which provides a front-end tier of highly-available load balancing proxies that accept traffic and forward them to workload clusters.

This guide explains how to configure a High Availability deployment that spans multiple workload clusters in multiple cloud regions.

📄️ Introduction

Edge (Tier-1) Gateway Introduction

📄️ Demonstration Environment

Our demonstration environment starts with a simple worked example, with two workload clusters and one edge gateway cluster.

📄️ Workload Cluster Failover

This guide uses the environment described in the Demonstration Environment, namely:

📄️ Extended Demo Environment

In this step, we will add a second Edge Gateway for Edge High Availability

📄️ Edge Gateway Failover

This guide uses the demonstration environment described in the Extended Demo Environment, namely:

📄️ Operating and Testing

How you might test failover, and operationalize tasks such as draining and restoring clusters.
