Locality Load Balancing
Last updated: 2023-12-26 11:36:12
Overview
This document describes how to deploy another set of website businesses in a cluster in another AZ to increase availability when the business expands. In particular, two sets of the same website businesses are available in two clusters at the same time. Locality load balancing is as shown below:
﻿
﻿
Directions
When the two sets of website businesses run normally, the ingress gateway will preferentially route traffic to the frontend service in the local region or AZ, even though the other cluster also has the frontend service. In addition, the frontend service will access the user, product, order, and cart services in the same AZ, and the order and cart services will access the stock service in the same AZ.
In Kubernetes, the Pod region is determined by the region and zone labels of the deployed node. The zone label is set for a workload in the YAML content of the demo application. First, deploy all the website services to the cluster (sub-cluster) in another AZ:

After the deployment, locality load balancing will not take effect if health check is not configured. In this case, services are called randomly in the two AZs, without adherence to the nearby access principle.
The order service calls the stock service in another AZ as shown below:
﻿
﻿
To enable locality load balancing for service access, you need to configure the health check feature for all the services by submitting the following YAML file to the primary cluster:

After health check is configured, when a user accesses a website service, browses a product page, adds an item to the cart, or places an order through the edge gateway in the cluster of AZ A, the gateway will route the traffic to the frontend service in the same AZ, and the frontend service will also call the user, cart, order, and stock services in the same AZ. Similarly, when a user accesses a website service through the edge gateway of AZ B, the request will be routed to the frontend service in AZ B, and services in AZ B will be called. You can view the AZ information of the currently called service in the floating window in the bottom-left corner of the demo page. Locality load balancing is as shown below:
