Hello,
I'd like to get comments/thoughts on possibility of using LVS as a key
enabler for cloud-computing adoption by enterprises.
Consider the following scenario:
CORP NETWORK---
+- Active Directory
+- File Share 1
+- MySQL Server
+- MS SQL Server
+- (etc, you get the idea)
+
+- Pablo's server (LVS)
+ (OpenVPN network)
+- Amazon EC2 Server 1
+- Amazon EC2 Server 2
+- ...
+- Amazon EC2 Server 1,000
What I am trying to do is have the EC2 Servers access the CORP NETWORK
servers while making them think that it is actually Pablo's server the one
that is contacting them.
In a way, this is the same as the traditional LVS pattern, but reveresed
(i.e., the ones that "request" are all the clustered servers hidden behind
just one).
While I am interested in this due to a particular need, I believe that LVS
used in this way could play a HUGE role in cloud computing adoption by
enterprises, as you can deploy "Pablo server" as a lightweight, super simple
to install virtual image that enables a hughly elastic infrastructure hosted
in the cloud that to access your data center in a secure and robust way.
Is LVS being used in this way? Do the experts here see that LVS could be
used in this way? I am completelly new to LVS and I'd love to start a
dialog on this - if this is something that you think could be interesting.
Many thanks,
Pablo Osinaga
