[nEdge] Implement clustering and high-availability #2036

Open lucaderi opened 6 years ago

lucaderi commented 6 years ago

As nEdge is used inline, a fault can disrupt the whole network. It is requested to implement a way to federate instances in order to implement high-availability so that

traffic is distributed across available nEdge instances
in case of fault of an instance, the other nEdge instance will handle the load

lucaderi commented 6 years ago

A possible implementation option is to implement hot-standby

We have an actual use case for a customer project. They happily use nEdge as traffic shaper, but need to make it high-available in a cluster.
