Rackspace Cloud [EOL] Scalability

RS
Director - DevOps and Infrastructure at INTIGRAL

There are a few backend services which are setup in a way which are not easy to scale. We try to do dump checks, which are delivered on content. So, they are pretty much where our enterprise technology industry focuses. The back-end is really complex, with a middleware that could be scalable. The scaling depends on what part of what piece of navigation you want to scale.

The cloud load balancer product was a much needed system. Prior to that we had to create our own load balancer on a virtual server. Initially the cloud load balancer was not very stable but they've worked through the issues and it's much better. Now it's pretty easy to add in additional servers behind the load balancer if you need scalability.

  • Vertical scalability is very limited compare with Amazon EC2, which offers many sorts of instances.
  • We can stop/resume/terminate EC2 instances using the AWS visual control panel. But so far, I found this sort of activity less user friendly in Rackspace.
  • Right now, we are working with Zoomdata. We can test/install Zoomdata in AWS EC2 instance with one click. This is a huge benefit for those who want to work with Zoomdata along with an AWS server.
  • Rackspace definitely does not offer these services for Zoomdata.
