If you do IPv6, there is no need for all of these layers of IPv4 overlay network crap.
- jayd16 7y agoIPv6 saves you from setting up DNS on each instance and will do load balancing?
- sedachv 7y agoDepends on what you use DNS for. Because the /64 space is so large, and you have a very large, very flexible subnet above that, you can set up an address assignment scheme for non-public facing nodes where you do not need DNS, and you can integrate that scheme with your load balancer. See Coffeen's _IPv6 Address Planning_ for ideas.
- jayd16 7y agoThat seems like a lot of work and you're ultimately not going to be able to use this in full deployment. Docker models and maps tobcloud infrastructure quite nicely and that's a reason it popular.
