High Availability for Bluemix Secure Gateway Docker Client


Architecting a solution on Bluemix that will use the Secure Gateway service to connect to on-premise resources. Trying to understand how to approach achieving a production high availability configuration for the Secure Gateway Client which runs inside a Docker contained provided by Bluemix.

How are others approaching HA for the SG Client?


Solution

  • Docker does support an auto-start functionality, but there is no built in support within Secure Gateway currently to take advantage of that. Our next release (1.3.0) will support native installers for Linux (Ubuntu, RHEL and SLES), which will be out last week this month. Once out, you could use the native installer, setup the auto-start facility and control your client using native upstart or systemD capabilities.
