I am looking at the options for geographic load balancing and thinking of setting up 2 or 3 regions initially.
Is there any data available for each of the regions in terms of latency for different countries/locations? I want to pick a number of key sites that give me best coverage for areas where I am seeing most traffic in google analytics .....
So as examples I want data to answer questions such as :
- Would Texas give me significant gains in both north and south america? Would any areas not benefit?
- Considering Australia, india and that part of the world generally would east/south asia be best?
- How does that fair for Japan?
- etc. etc.
Secondly I want to auto scale. How does auto scaling work with the geographic load balancing?
What would be great is if I could scale all the way up or down (to nothing) based on a schedule in each region. So a fixed European instance , and scaling up on other continents during fixed time schedules. e.g. when India wakes up spin up a service in Asia.
