If your stack requires a load balancer, you would have to pay $19.95 for a dedicated 512 node that you would need to then configure and manage your own load balancer. This new service is also managed, distributed, and has an API. $19.95/month seems like a steal to me.
- jsprinkles 15y agoOne Linode 512 is not highly available. Two is. The documentation indicates that this service is highly-available.
- mrinterweb 15y agoTrue. I was intending to draw a comparison to what kind of load balancing you can get on Linode for $19.95 if you were to do it yourself. I highly doubt it is possible to roll a superior load balancer service on your own for less than NodeBalancer. I was recently trying to figure out how I was going to handle this on Linode. I am very glad to see this new service. If NodeBalancer has the ability to fail over to other data centers in the instance of a data center wide outage then I'll be set.
