High availability of GSA server

[prashant@ge]

How can I setup GSA server in high availability? We need GSA lite to be resilient on production for a customer.

Hi,
Great question. You can build up availability zones for your HA architecture with multiple GSA Server instances, and with the use of a load balancer in front to handle your client requests. Note that the load balancer needs to support sticky sessions for the GSA Lite clients. Joery and Mark can probably provide a few more details on this. @markvanderhurk @Joery Korobejnik You may also want to think about including multiple GSA Servers for tiling purposes also in addition to those serving up request for your GSA Lite clients. Good luck with your setup.

Thanks Chris. We are currently using NGINX Plus as proxy server for GSA Lite clients and I think we can use same for load balancing as well. Do we have any customer who has done it like this?

It would be possible to use NGINX Plus (or just NGINX) for this yes. Not sure of example deployments, but it shouldn't be too difficult to setup the sticky sessions I would have thought.
