Working in the CLI
GeoCluster and GeoSite Instance Commands
Envoy provides cluster load balancing between Equalizers running at two or more geographically
distributed locations -- called GeoSites. Each GeoSite is configured with a cluster that is capable
of responding to requests for the same content. A GeoCluster is a collection of GeoSites that act
together to determine the “best” GeoSite to respond to a particular request.
Envoy works together with special entries in the Domain Name System (DNS) configuration of the
authoritative name server for a website.
Both GeoClusters and GeoSites are top-level objects in the CLI. In general:
1. Create a GeoCluster for your website (see below).
2. Create GeoSites
3. Add GeoSite Instances to GeoClusters (see below).
