created issue #1

Jul 14, 2015 02:44PM

In order to build highly available systems without load balancing, please create a mechanism to create Virtual IPs. These VIPs are needed to leverage myriad HA technologies including but not limited to pgpool-II, keepalived, VRRP, cARP, etc.

So in the end, what I want is:

-I need redundancy on several systems (HA Proxy, Postgres, etc)
-I do not want to use Load Balancer as that will round-robin the traffic.
-What I would like to have is High Availability with redundant, ready-to-go standbys.
-Since GCE does not support multi-cast and broadcast, how can I build High Availability into systems for hot swapping redundant systems?

This is not only useful for IP addresses, but also for many other resources. I understand that names are currently used as identifiers, so this request is probably not trivial to implement. Maybe distinguishing between a (numeric, automatically generated) identifier and a (textual) label is the way to go?

Is it any hope? We have migrated our IP address to the server with different role, and now the name of this IP address resource doesn't match its role at all. It seems to be trivial enough to momentary reserve static IP address of the old named resource, drop resource, and immediately recreate it with the new name and the old IP address.

This would also improve life when using the Google Deployment Manager (since it otherwise error's out if you've changed a name of an IP)

Over 3 years to get something as basic as renaming a static IP address. Any progress here?

Yes, I have a customer who has this exact issue too! Any updates or workarounds would be very appreciated!

+1, don't see why this would be hard. If the underlying GCP infrastructure depends on the name remaining unchanged, then the frontend can simply provide a way to alias it such that the end-user doesn't have to see the "original" name anymore.

Bumping this.
Definitely useful feature at least provide a way to alias this.

shouldn't be a very difficult implementation but benefits lots of people
