Two front-end nginx servers and a virtual ip?

Question

Nginx

In general, well, in networks there is such a thing as FHRP, at least two devices pretend to have one common virtual ip and deceive the switch using a special mac address
. Well, now how to use something like that to organize the same thing between nginx servers that are on the front side? maybe there are some services that will do this not only for nginx

Answer 1

You need either Haproxy or DNS load balancing or Elastic IP .
These tools solve different problems, so you need to choose depending on your realities.
