MaxScale Redundancy

MariaDB MaxScale serves as the load balancer in certain MariaDB Cloud topologies.

MariaDB Cloud supports MaxScale Redundancy as an option at time of launch:

• This feature is not enabled by default. By default, topologies that use MaxScale contain only one MaxScale node.

• When MaxScale Redundancy is selected, MaxScale nodes are deployed in a highly available (HA) active-active configuration behind round robin load balancing.

• When MaxScale Redundancy is enabled, MaxScale instance size can be selected.

• MaxScale Redundancy is available to Power Tier customers.
