Load balancing api connect between two data centers - (Multiple API cloud )
I am trying to load balance between 2 data centers where two different API cloud exists and Each cloud has multiple management servers. Is it possible to load balance between cloud managers
Thanks
Only if the Management Servers are also clustered or the APIs do not make use of security definitions and the Products do not make use of rate plans.
If using security definitions the subscriber of the API is given a client ID/client secret which is unique to the management server (or cluster of management servers). If they are not clustered in your case then the client ID will not match and you can't load balance.
If you are using rate plans then not having the management servers clustered will mean you can't properly enforce the rate limits as each management server has it's own DataPower domain and rate plan .. also you need subscriptions for rate plans which means security definitions so back to the paragraph above.
