Change to Nginx to support UDP load balancer?

[oilbeater]

Just a thought about that.

Nginx now support UDP load balance which Haproxy doesn't support now and Nginx also support tcp, http and https loadbalance, It seems that health check part is weak, however this part can be done by marathon healthchek. Any idea about change Haproxy to Nginx?

MLB is tightly coupled with HAProxy, but it's a great v2.0 idea.

If the template generater is decoupled with Haproxy that's say use different template driver to adapt different backend lb type we can gradually change to adapt Nginx.

Mantl stack use traefic, could be nice to have traefic support also.

Do you have any news about that idea ? I'm really interested about UDP support.

[mlowicki]

At Opera we ended up with in-house load balancer based on Nginx and Nixy. Mainly because of lack of UDP support in HAProxy and issues found while using marathon-lb.

Actually there is nothing which can handle UDP protocol ?

Also looking forward UDP load balance support in MLB.
