Scale your Load Balancers, Like a Boss!

Submitted Apr 4, 2017

Section: Full talk of 40 mins duration Technical level: Intermediate

Load balancing has traditionally been done using legacy expensive and inflexible hardware appliances. With the evolution of web scale computing, there is a massive explosion in SSL/TLS traffic. With Digital India push leading to significant online transactions especially payments, scaling of SSL/TLS has become extremely important and has to meet with the highly elastic loads as well at a much lower cost.

In this talk we look at a modern SDN based approach to cloud scale load balancing, how it helps to achieve upwards of a million SSL transactions per second using commercial x86 servers using google cloud.

Outline

Load Balancer scalability considerations
The State of Load Balancing/Application Delivery
Architectural approaches to scale load balancers
How to get to 1 million transactions per sec
Demo
Scale performance up and down
