Closed hparr closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No

Describe the solution you'd like

AWS Global Accelerator supports basic load balancing at the AWS Network Edge. Some customers will use this feature since it leverages the AWS network fro the network edge in the users locality to the AWS region where applications are hosted.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Similar to NLB, ALB but those features cannot use the network in the same manner.

Additional context

Create a target group per region in AWS AGA,

Deploy singe NIC BIG-IP (s) into the target group.

By default AWS AGA does not support reading AutoScale groups as targets but it can be accomplished via a lambda function
