I hope someone can help shed some feedback about this or maybe there is a better setup.
I am trying to achieve better fault tolerance and publish to my bank the IP just once.
There seems to be 2 options that I can choose while using Vultr/Digital Ocean.
- use a load balancer (LB) + 2 instances behind LB
- Use a floating IP + BGP + 2 instances behind IP
With option 1, there is a built-in firewall within the load balancer though it has max of 15 rules limit. A more expensive option, reserve IP + LB
With option 2, the guide says I can have private BGP. A cheaper option, reserve IP only.
Thank you
Henry
