I just keep LAUNCHing more of these great LB servers. The performance is top of the line. Check out the new Least Connection Option! Helps with servers that are not all equal in performance.

Best of the best. This new LB design adds many features to the HAProxy LB Template design RightScale has used for many years now. I have used this template for many new Deployments this year and every time it works out well. Keep in mind that these new LTS servers use TAGS for many features that in the past used DDNS. When you create the Deployment "Container" set the flag "contain" the tags in the deployment. This template works well with SMALL and LARGE servers so scale up is fast and easy. Use an EIP for the external IP for all LB servers! Please call any time: Cell: 916-202-1600 Skype: EdwardMGoldberg Edward M. Goldberg http://myCloudWatcher.com/ e.m.g.
