Cloud Load Balancing
Quake AI concept: Load Balancer
- GCP offers external and internal, global and regional, HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancers. Quake AI workloads use a self-managed reverse proxy or Kubernetes LoadBalancer Service.
- GCP global HTTP(S) load balancing uses one anycast IP across regions. Self-managed Quake AI edges use the public IP and topology you provision.
- GCP integrates Cloud CDN, Cloud Armor (WAF/DDoS) with LBs; OpenStack has no native CDN/WAF integration.
- GCP backend services use health checks and instance groups or NEGs. Self-managed Quake AI edges use proxy upstreams or Kubernetes service selectors.
