Learn how to implement Multi-Active workloads in OpenStack environments when single load balancers are insufficient for your infrastructure needs. Explore the challenges and solutions for Active-Active Load-Balancing, drawing from real-world experience at CERN cloud where this has become the most requested feature. Discover strategies for handling workloads across multiple data centers, including Edge nodes with BGP/Anycast traffic routing and Active/Active load-balancers distributed across availability zones. Examine OpenStack's existing capabilities for mitigating single points of failure through server groups, floating IPs, and Active/Standby load balancers, while understanding the current limitations for Multi-Active solutions. Gain insights into what OpenStack currently offers, potential easy implementations, and what might be beyond the platform's scope, particularly relevant for organizations dealing with increased traffic from botnets and AI crawlers or implementing business continuity across multiple data centers.
