Subject: Re: [Openstack] Load Balancers for Swift Proxy-servers ----why
Pound ?
To: Chuck Thier <cthier@xxxxxxxxx>


Hello  Chuck ,
That's really good response for us .
I would love to do some more test .
If we have more considerations will share to you.
After all , Does any suggestion of separative each workers into different
bare-metals?
We has only Proxy-node / Auth-node / Storage-nodes ...
Could it possible to isolate more workers for better performance ?
It seems quite busy of each storage-nodes . As I know , Object-server &
Account-server & Container-workers should in same host(saw in Cactus Admin
manual).  am I right ?

I believe this discussion will help more stackers on choosing SLB even
entire architecture design.

Thanks
