That's a cheap price!, would be interesting testing it out to understand the maximum load that can handle.
can it load balance non-scaleway VPS/server?
Yup, you can load balance to non-scaleway server.
I used these for Tor over the past month, they can handle a ton of load, like 4000 concurrent connections and 100-200 Mbit combined traffic 24x7, no problem whatsoever.
Is it possible to implement load balancing by location with this? I mean, I probably don't need to implement that but it's good to know
Is this something like nginx http/https proxy?
Does it have AutoBoot™?
Yea, connect your network to their via VPN and you can wake up your coffee machine early in the morning. Premium WoL
As soon the first requests, hits your Loadbalancer and someone creates a complaint, its time to get up and the coffe machine already got you covered.
This has 0 practical usage and it must be done. brb
Well you need one of these hipstars, coffee machines with a LAN port, then it has a practical usage.
Why wait, when the coffee is already done?
Waste your time with your wife but not with your coffee machine.
How does Scaleway's LB compare to the Digital Ocean's load balancer?
I suppose DO Loadbalancer is only for DO droplets and Kubernets while Scaleway's available outside their network too (for destination). You may correct me, haven't used either of both.
Where did you read that?
On the dev faq:
server_ip : A list of IPv4 or IPv6 address of your Scaleway or Online.net servers to.
They don't seem to support external servers beside scaleway/online.
Indeed, just checked. (foreign IPv4s don't work either)
Well, it was possible in beta, looks like they've disabled it.
I've used it in beta for sure, however dropped after proper documentation for api and there were no gui at all.
